Check

Y3261, Y3263 and 

associated Parts

Are signals

at Pin’s 14 &

15 of U3201?

Check 

R3201

Check C3319

Is U3201 pin 2  

>4.5 VDC in Tx & 

<40 mVDC in Rx

Replace 

U3201

Remove

Shorts

Is there a short

between Pin 47 and

Pins 14 & 15 of

U3201?

Replace or resolder

necessary components

Is RF level at

U3201 Pin 32

dBm?

Are 

R3221, 

R3222, R3223, 
C3221, C3222,

OK?

Replace 

U3201

If R3227, C3226 & C3227

are OK, then see VCO

troubleshooting chart

Are Waveforms
at Pins 14 & 15

triangular?

Do Pins 

7,8 & 9 of 

U3201 toggle

when channel is

changed?

Check programming

lines between U0101
