8 Interface Fault Finding
Introduction This section covers the diagnosis of faults involving signals output from or
input to the radio’s internal circuitry via the control-head, internal options,
power, or auxiliary connectors. For most inputs and outputs, filtering or
basic processing is applied between the internal circuitry and the connectors.
Internal and
Connector Signals
The signals at the internal circuitry and those at the connectors are
distinguished as internal signals and connector signals respectively. On the
circuit diagram for the internal circuitry, dashed lines enclose connector
signals. Internal signals are all named signals outside these enclosures. In
Figure 8.1, which shows part of the internal options connector as an
example,
IOP GPIO7 is a connector signal and ITF IOP GPIO7 is an internal signal.
Types of Signals The connector and internal signals can be of three types:
■ output lines
■ input lines
■ bi-directional lines
For diagnosing faults in these three cases, carry out Task 1, Task 2 or Task 3
respectively. Where components need to be replaced to rectify faults, refer
to Figure 8.3 to Figure 8.4 for the locations of the components. These
figures show the three areas of the main board where the components of the
interface circuitry are situated.
