RF-8000E Operations Manual
Chapter 5. Repeater Tests — 59
5. Add the Cal Loss marked near the RF MON (see Figure 33) to the power meter reading, the
result is the Power Amplifier Output Power.
6. Compare the Power Amplifier Output Power reading to Table 4, using the listing for the radio
modulation type used.
7. Adjust the AGC/ALC potentiometer as required to set the power amplifier output level equal to the
listing in Table 4.
•
Note: Lower levels may have been selected by transmission engineering, please refer to
system path calculations and path data sheets for details.
8. Once the power levels have been set, confirm the RMAS Alarm Transmitter PWR alarm is clear
for each frequency equipped. If the PWR alarm remains active and the transmit power is correct,
then the RMAS Alarm Transmitter alarm point must be adjusted. Please refer to the alarm
equipment documentation for adjustment details. The alarm point is normally 5 dB below normal
operating power level.

9. To determine the Antenna Port Output Power Level, subtract the TX Branch Loss from the Power
Amplifier Output Level. The TX Branch Loss is marked on the repeater panel near the PA.
Include any transmit attenuator pad loss if equipped.
