PA Bias Failure Troubleshooting
Does the voltage at
TP4402 increase
when Bias 1 is in-
creased?
Does the voltage at
TP5541 increase
when Bias 1 is in-
creased?
Is current for
Bias 1 0?
5V_TX_SW is not present.
Check Q5804 and Q5802.
Check Bias components for
Q5804 and Q5802. Check
that voltage on Pin 11 of
ADDAG U5802 is <0.2V.
NO
YES
Is the voltage at
C5871 @ 5V?
YES
Check U5501 and its bias components.
Check 9V_TX_SW at C5551, Q5551, and
Is current for
Bias 2 0?
YES
Is current for
Bias 3 0?
YES
NO
NO
NO
Does the voltage at
TP5402 increase
when Bias 1 is in-
creased?
YES
Check bias components for U5401. If
OK, replace U5401.
Check Q5521 and its bias components.
NO
YES
Check bias components for Q5421.
If OK, replace Q5421.
Check Q5542 and its bias components.
NO
YES
Check bias components for Q5431. If OK,
replace Q5431.
Replace U0150
Still does not
bias tune?

Connect the radio's accessory connector to the Tetra Com interface.
Connect the radio's antenna connector to the high power RF output on
the IFR.
Run Tetra Com script for PA Bias Test.
Measure DC levels with a multimeter.
Measure the DC current of the radio.
If the cover is removed from the chassis, the RF PA is disabled to prevent
overheating of the FET devices. To measure the power at the antenna
connector, the pressure pad can be used to short the contact area on the
main board. This should be done only for a few seconds.
Failure:
PATS parameters PA_BIAS, BIAS1-3_CUR, BIAS1-3_SP failed.
