3 ADJUSTMENTS
3.1 General
For proper alignment, the unit should be programmed with the following channel and frequency information
Channel
number
Receive Frequency
(MHz)
Transmit Frequency
(MHz)
RX/TX Tone Code Channel Spacing
(KHz)
CH 1 174.050 174.025 NO TONE 25
CH 2 163.050 163.025 NO TONE 25
CH 3 163.050 163.050 100Hz TONE 25
CH 4 163.050 163.050 627 DCS CODE 25
CH 5 163.050 163.025 NO TONE 12.5
Make connections to the Unit per Figure 1 (Equipment Test Set-up) below and Figure 2 (Test Adapter). For the
location of the components called out in these procedures, refer to RF Board and SUB Board.
3.2 Synthesizer/Transmitter VCO Check
NOTE: VCO check must be accomplished before proceeding with the Transmitter and/or Receiver Alignment.
1) Connect the voltmeter to TP6.
2) Place the unit on channel 1 (174.050MHz. RX; 174.025MHz, TX).
3) Tune CV401 in Receive mode for 4.90V ± 0.05V at TP6.
4) Push the PTT switch (TX) and tune CV402 for 4.30V ± 0.05V at TP6.
3.2.a Frequency Adjustment
1) Connect the Radio in accordance with Figure 1.
2) Place the unit on channel 1 (174.050MHz, RX; 174.025MHz, TX).
3) Operate the transmitter and adjust RV402 for a Frequency Counter reading within ± 50Hz of the programmed transmit
frequency.
3.3 Transmitter Alignment
NOTE: In order to obtain proper transmission output power, connect the Radio to the power supply with a cable that is
rated to withstand a current of 2 amperes or greater.
3.3.a Power Adjustment
1) Connect the Radio in accordance with Figure 1.
2) Place the radio on the channel 2 (163.050MHz, RX; 163.025MHz. TX).
3) Place the unit in HIGH POWER mode.
4) Turn RV401 and RV405 fully clockwise.
5) Operate the transmitter, using TA-S1, to make sure that the maximum RF output power reading on the wattmeter is 5.5 W or
greater.
6) Adjust RV401 (HI PWR ADJ) for a reading of 5.0 W ±0.1 W. Check to make sure that the transmit current is within 1000 -
1400 mA after the adjustment has been made.
7) Place the unit in the LOW POWER mode.
8) Adjust RV405 (LO PWR ADJ) for a reading of 1.0 W ±0.1 W. Check to make sure that the transmit current is within 500 -
700 mA after the adjustment has been made.
3.3.b Modulation Adjustment
1) Connect the Radio in accordance with Figure 1.
2) Place the Radio on channel 2 (163.050MHz, RX; 163.025MHz, TX).
3) Apply a 1 KHz tone signal to Test Adapter's AF Input (Figure 2), which is the microphone impedance matching network.
4) Plug the Test Adapter into the external speaker/microphone jack.
