Remove shield, SH4.  
Measure RF levels at first 
preselector filter and 
compute filter loss.  
UHF1: Input side of C2035 
& output side of C2039.
Loss < 3.5 
dB?
Check components 
and replace defective 
parts.
Autotune the radio.
No
Measure RF levels at LNA 
and compute LNA gain.
UHF1: Input side of C2033 
and output side of C2044.  
Gain about 
18 dB?
Check LNA:
Check DC bias voltages of 
U2032 at the base (pin 1) & 
collector (pin 3).
No
Is base voltage = 
0.787 V?  Collector 
voltage = 1.56 V?
Replace 
U2032
Is base voltage = 1.022 
V?  Collector voltage = 
0.787 V?  Emitter 
voltage = 1.561 V?
Replace 
Q2022

Yes
Check DC bias voltages of 
Q2022 at the base (pin 2 or 
5), collector (pin 3) & emitter 
(pin 4).
Check digital logic 
to the RF switch 
and replace U501 if 
needed.
Remove shield, SH7. Measure 
RF levels at the filter and 
compute filter loss.  Output 
side of C2061 and output side 
of C510.

Note: RF Test frequency used:
VHF:   154.275 MHz
UHF1: 424.975 MHz
UHF2: 485.075 MHz
700:    769.0625 MHz
800:    860.0625 MHz
Measured with a high impedance probe for 
relative comparisons and troubleshooting only.
Actual S21 gain or loss may differ if the 
test point is not 50 ohms.
