Vertex Standard VX-3200V - User Manual

VHF FM Transceiver
VX-3200V
Service Manual
Introduction
This manual provides technical information necessary for servicing the VX-3200V Transceiver.
Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified
persons to service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in
some countries.
Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided circuit board in the transceiver. Each side of thr board is
referred to by the type of the majority of components installed on that side (“leaded” or “chip-only”). In most cases one
side has only chip components, and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils,
electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only.
While we believe the technical information in this manual to be correct, Vertex Standard assumes no liability for damage
that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any
inconsistencies in the technical information would be appreciated.
