Normal Troubleshooting
Check voltage and for others
- frequency at TP3
of VCO unit.
Trouble in PLL circuit
Condition
(2)
(.$
Service Point
1)
5V supply at AVR circuit
(main body)
2) VCO ampiifier
1) VCO unit
2) PD unit.
--
VCO unit
1) Voltage at 9V terminal.
2) RF voltage at
TP2.
3) VCO frequency
4) Local OSC level
-
PD unit
1) Waveform and frequency at
TPI.
2)
Output from 12-pin of IC3.
3)
Puta 135.3MHz signal of SSG
into TPI of VDO unit.
Malfunction in Transmitter

L
Cause
A: When current drain is more than 2A during transmis-
sion.
el, 02, D2, or D3 defective in PA unit.
Insufficient continuity in antenna line.
6:
When current drain is about 1.2A during transmission.
Coaxial cable defective between PA unit and TX unit (in par-
ticular, connecting part.)
01 defective in PA unit.
TX unit malfunction.
