To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Freedom R8000 Measuring Instruments portable radio consistently fail TX Power Out test?
The DC power supply might be current limiting, preventing the portable radio from getting adequate current. To resolve this, adjust the DC power supply current limit to at least 3 Amps.
What to do if my Freedom R8000 mobile radio won’t power up?
First, verify that the HKN6163_ cable connection is secure. If it is, the Motorola CPS Ignition Switch setting might be the issue. Use Motorola CPS software to set the Radio Wide, Advanced, Ignition Switch setting to “Blank”. Remember to revert this setting to its original value after testing.
How to fix Freedom R8000 Measuring Instruments radio repeatedly failing communication initialization?
This issue may be due to serial link corruption, the radio being powered off, or the programming cable being unconnected. Retry communicating with the radio after each of the following steps: * Power cycle the radio. * Restart the analyzer. * Power on the radio. * Connect the programming cable.
