TM9100 Service Manual Transmitter Fault Finding (50W/40W Radios) 299
© Tait Electronics Limited August 2005
Task 28 —
Output of Second 
Stage of Exciter
If the output of the first stage of the exciter circuit is correct, check that of 
the second stage at C3509:
1. With the radio still in transmit mode, measure the RF voltage after 
C3509 (see Figure 11.21 and Figure 11.22). (Use an RFP5401A 
RF probe or the equivalent.) The required voltage should be as given 
in Table 11.8 (B1 band), Table 11.9 (H5) or Table 11.10 (H7).
2. If the voltage is correct, go to Task 30
. If it is not, go to Step 3.
3. Enter the CCTM command 32 to place the radio in receive mode.
4. Check the components around Q3502 (see Figure 11.21 and 
Figure 11.22).
5. Repair any fault revealed by the above checks. Replace Q3502 
(see Figure 11.21 and Figure 11.22) if none of the other 
components is faulty.
6. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 147. If the repair failed, replace the main-board assembly and go 
to “Final Tasks” on page 147.
