Task 26 —
Check Switching
to Transmit Mode
If no transmit frequency is detected in the check of the transmit VCO, first
check that the transmit-receive switch is functioning correctly.
1. Resolder R542 in position (see Figure 11.9).
2. Enter the CCTM command 335 1 to switch on the supply to the
transmit VCO.
3. Measure the voltage at the second collector (pin 6) of Q506
(see Figure 11.9). The voltage should be:
4. Enter the CCTM command 335 0 to switch off the supply.
5. Again measure the voltage at the second collector of Q506.
6. If the voltages measured in Step 2 and Step 4 are correct, go to
Task 27
. If they are not, the switching network is suspect; go to
Task 21
.
pin 6 of Q506: 5.0 ± 0.3 V DC (after entry of CCTM 335 1)
pin 6 of Q506: 0 V DC (after entry of CCTM 335 0)
