You beat me to saying that. There is no one size fits all default settings for the service menu settings. Its all adjusted per radio. It is, however, quite easy to "calibrate" the radio using mostly ham-ly equipment. A service monitor would be best, but you can get away with out it by being creative.... mostly using an old HT into a dummy load as a signal generator, an amp meter, a watt meter, a frequency counter, a 100W+ dummy load etc etc.
Download a copy of the service manual, it has the step by step process in there with specific how to details.? If you know what the specific problem that is being funky with your radio, you may not have to do the WHOLE alignment, just align the section where you think the problem is and see how it plays. OR, if you are a perfectionist like me, I would go along and align the whole thing to the operating voltage of my shack. The 7Ks are a little weak on HF RF output even at 13.8VDC. It seems 14.8VDC - a fairly common charging voltage in some import vehicles, makes the 7K happy and is within the operating voltage tolerance.?
I did use the service menus to bump up the HF mic audio since my Hiel Goldline was very quiet going into the mic port. That was before I learned about using the -line in- pin of the 13-pin acc jack.
