3. Motorola APX Portable Radio Test Setup
Before servicing a radio with AutoTune, ensure the analyzer is running the current
system software version. Each system version release contains issue resolutions and/or
new/enhanced features.
On the analyzer, navigate to Settings > About… Note the System version shown.
Browse to the Freedom software upgrades webpage:
https://freedomcte.com/upgrades/
If the first Current System Version shown on the webpage is more recent than
the analyzer System version, follow the webpage instructions to download and
apply the current system version software to your analyzer.
To perform the test and alignment procedures, the APX Portable radio must be
connected to the R8000 Communications Systems Analyzer as shown in Figure 3-1.
APX Portable Test Setup Diagram.
Make certain that the radio under test is configured as described in the
corresponding diagram before attempting to perform an alignment or test.
Failure to do so may result in poor radio performance and/or damage to the
analyzer or radio equipment under test.
3.1. Cable Sweep
Every RF cable connected between a radio under test and the analyzer attenuates the
signal propagating through it. The amount of attenuation varies by several factors such
as operating frequency, cable length, and cable type. Ensuring this attenuation is
accounted for by the analyzer is important to the accuracy of several tests and
alignments, primarily power tests.
Sweep the RF cable used between the Radio and Analyzer, label the RF cable with the
stored cable sweep name, and enable the Cable Sweep feature in the analyzer System,
System Settings… menu. Refer to Application Note FCT-1017 Utilizing Cable Sweep on
the Freedom Communications System Analyzer for instructions on how to perform a
cable sweep.
