Task 9 —
Check LPF and
Buffer Amplifier
If there is no test signal at the internal-options connector, then either 
CODEC 1 is faulty or there is a fault in the LPF or buffer amplifier.
1. Remove the 
CDC BOT can.
2. Check the signal at the junction between R224 and IC204 
(see Figure 15.7). This should be:
3. If the above signal is correct, go to Step 4. If it is not, CODEC 1 
(IC204) is faulty; replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final 
Tasks” on page 123.
4. Check the voltage at pin 1 of IC201 (see Figure 15.7).
5. If the voltage is correct, go to Step 6. If it is not, check the LPF circuit 
based on IC201 (pins 1 to 3) (see Figure 15.7). Repair any fault and 
conclude with Step 9.
6. Check the voltage at pin 7 of IC201 (see Figure 15.7).
7. If the voltage is correct, go to Step 8. If it is not, check the buffer 
amplifier based on IC201 (pins 5 to 7) (see Figure 15.7). Repair any 
fault and conclude with Step 9.
8. Check R207 and R208 (see Figure 15.7). Repair any fault and 
conclude with Step 9.
9. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to Step 10. If the repair failed 
or the fault could not be found, replace the main-board assembly and 
go to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
10. If there is also a fault with the transmit modulation, notwithstanding 
modulation at the auxiliary connector, go to “Faulty Modulation 
Using Auxiliary Connector” on page 366. If there is no other fault, 
go to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
