Transmit Deviation
Limit Alignment
From the MAIN MENU, press F2 twice and then F5 to access the
TRANSMIT DEVIATION LIMIT screen.
VCO Attenuator Alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the
Controlled Board or the RF Board. This alignment procedure limits the
modulation of a baseband signal. It is used for primary modulation
limiting. This procedure needs to be performed at multiple frequencies
to allow for proper alignment across the entire RF band. The RF band
is divided into frequency zones with a calibration point (value) in each
zone.
Refer to your Radio Service Manual for the Transmit Deviation Limit
Alignment procedure.
Programming Procedure 1. Press F6 to key up the radio. (The radio’s RF output must be
terminated into a 50 ohm load.)
2. Apply the appropriate signal according to instructions in your
Radio Service Manual.
3. While transmitting, modify the Balance Attenuator setting using
the UP/DOWN arrow keys. To increase the adjustment speed, use
the Shift-UP/DOWN arrow keys.
4. A relative Tx power value will be displayed, but you must
determine the actual transmitter power output from the service
monitor.
5. Press F6 to de-key the radio and Tab to move between frequency
points.
6. Press F8 to save the new value.

Caution
This procedure should be attempted only by qualified
service personnel. Failure to perform alignment
procedures properly may result in seriously degraded
radio or system performance.
