2. To determine if the "out-of-lock" is frequency or VCO dependant, place the unit into RF TEST
Mode, as described in the ASTRO Digital XTL 5000 VHF/UHF Range 1/UHF Range 2/700–
800 MHz Mobile Radio Basic Service Manual (6881096C73) and step through each test
channel. Table 4-3 indicates the frequency and Aux logic level for each test mode channel. In
addition, Table 4-4 provides information about the frequency of operation for each VCO.
3. Continue troubleshooting by using the Fail 001 troubleshooting chart in Chapter 5.
