VCO & Osc. Alignment

Test Equipment
1. Frequency Counter
2. Digital Volt Meter
3. DC Power Supply (13.8V 3A)

Alignment Procedure

1.

Mic: Receive,
Channel Selector: Ch1,
Delta Tune: Center

Connect frequency counter to pin 4 of IC 1,

CT1

Adjust CT1 to get 10.240 MHz

2

Same as step 1

Connect digital volt meter to pin 7 of IC 1

T106

Adjust T106 to get 1.3V at Ch1 and 2.0V at Ch40

3.

Mic: Transmit,
Channel Selector: Ch40

Connect frequency counter to pin 4 of IC 1

RV5

Adjust RV5 to get 10.240 MHz

4.

Same as step 3

Connect frequency counter to the point where CT3 & X2 are connected

CT3

Adjust CT3 to get 10.695 MHz in Tx mode

 

Transmitter Alignment

Test Equipment
1.��� RE Power Meter
2.��� 50 ohm Dummy Load
3.��� Oscilloscope
4.��� Audio Generator
5.��� DC Power Supply (13.8V 3A)
6.��� Spectrum Analyzer
7.��� RE Attenuator
8.��� Frequency Counter
9.��� Coupler

Test Equipment Setup
1.��� Connect audio generator output terminal to pin 2 of Mic jack and connect pin 3 to ground.
2.��� Connect RF power meter to antenna jack.
3.��� Connect coupler to RE power meter.
4.��� Connect 50 ohm dummy load, oscilloscope and frequency counter to coupler.
5.��� Connect power cord to power supply.

Alignment Procedure
1.��� Mic: Transmit, Channel Selector: 19
2.��� Adjust T108,T109,T1 10,L7,and L11-B for max. power output.
3.��� Check output on Ch1 & Ch40, if power is not equal readjust L7, and L11-B.
4.��� Adjust RV7 so that output indicator meter is at the 4 watt position.
5.��� Check that frequency tolerance is plus or minus 400 Hz, if not go back to steps 1-3.
6.��� Remove 50 ohm dummy load from antenna jack.
7.��� Connect RF attenuator and spectrum analyzer to antenna jack.
8.��� Check that harmonics and spurious are suppressed more than -63dB on all channels with no modulation if it is not within the above range adjust L7, and L11-B (harmonics).
9.��� Turn on the audio generator and adjust audio level to obtain 80-100% modulation (3mV). Adjust RV2 to obtain 95% modulation.
