5.
Connect a 3 feet long double shielded cable (N-M to BNC-M) between the IFR T/R output and
the exciter antenna connector.
6.
Connect the Paragon-III Extender Rail Kit to the empty chassis exciter slot.
7.
Apply power to the base station.
5.2.3.2
Synthesizer Alignment
Single channel: Connect the Multimeter to either side of L309 (T881).
-
T881 (700 MHz) Tune VCO trimmer CV300 for a synthesizer loop voltage of 10V DC.
Multiple channels (adjusting as shown for single channel above):
-
T881 (700 MHz) Adjust the VCO loop to 10V using the middle frequency channel.
All channels should lie within the upper and lower limits of 16V and 3V respectively for the
T881.
Note:
Normally, the fast TX key option is installed and the synthesizer is always ener-
gized. In the case where that option was not fitted, key the transmitter by pressing
the front panel Carrier button to make the above adjustment possible.
5.2.3.3
TX Frequency Error Adjustment
1.
Apply the following settings to the IFR:
-
Receiver mode
-
IFR RX frequency to match the main radio TX frequency
-
IF Filter set to 30KHz
-
Zoom the RF Error window: select 10Khz range
2.
Key the transmitter by pressing the front panel TX-Key button and measure the carrier output
frequency. It should be within ±300 Hz. If it is not, adjust the TCXO (IC700) to trim to meet the
requirement, preferably within 100Hz.
