Troubleshooting the RF Path
2. From Table 1-21, determine the frequencies where the problem occurs.
3. Perform the following steps:
— press Preset
— press Frequency, and set signal generator to frequency in problem
area
— press Amplitude, and set to +25 dBm
— press RF ON/OFF (turn RF On)
— turn ALC Off
— Power Search Manual
— Do Power Search
4. Using the RF Path Block Diagram, check the power levels at the points
shown.
5. Once the problem is located, verify that the cables between the two
assemblies are good before replacing the assembly.
