TROUBLESHOOTING CHARTS: 450-470MHz 9.1 - 17
Tx Frequency Generation Troubleshooting
Check transistor stage 
Q5621 and switch 
Q5301
RF level 
at Q5621 Collector 
about 0dBm and DC 
 about 3.9V
?
Check components 
between 
Q5621 and C5837
Check components 
U5601, D5601- D5604 and 
associated components
Check transistor stage 
Q5671 and 5V source 
U5322
Check transistor switch  
Q5301 bevor replacing 
Q5602
Check DC path of 
stage Q5601 before 
replacing Q5601
Before replacing U5702 check 
transistor stage Q5681, Q5651, 
3.3V at U5702 pin 15, 
components between Q5631 
collector and U5702 pin 16.
FGU failure!
Go to Main Synthesizer Chart
Before replacing U5701 
check 
R5706, R5707, C5706
Is 
 frequency correct and 
stable

RF level at 
TP5702 about
-5dBm
?
2.7V DC at 
U5701 pin 19 & 20 
?
RF
level at R5707 about
0dBm

Set IFR TX Frequency  
to 469.925 * 0.8 MHz
RF level at 
Q5631 Collector 
about 0dBm

C5837
?
DC
at R5653 
>7V and frequency
