12: Initial Check:
•
Unfortunately this can not be completed easily with the CCARC FM92E’s supplied. So for the Tuesday
Nite Group, the Initial Check will be conducted by installing the 6 Meter Test EPROM. All other users of
this document should have a EPROM installed in their FM92E transceiver. Thus they should commence
the “initial check” as the first thing done. However be careful when checking the transmitter, do test it
into a shielded “Dummy Load”, for you do not want to interfere with a commercial operator on the
transmitter frequency.
•
When you remover the covers from transceiver, do not loose or get mixed up with other transceiver top’s
& bottom’s. These covers normally have information on the EPROM’s.
•
Plug in Test EPROM into FM92E [only for club members]. See chapter 38 “FM92E Test EPROM 68-88
Mhz Channel verses Frequency List:” and chapter 16 “EPROM Change:”.
6mtest1l.bin = Local Head Test EPROM 10.7 MHz IF.
6mtest2r.bin = Remote Head Test EPROM 21.4 MHz IF.
6mtest3l.bin = Local Head Test EPROM 10.7 MHz IF.
6mtest4r.bin = Remote Head Test EPROM 21.4 MHz IF.
•
Check under one of the top or bottom covers for the list of frequencies, that was used originally by the
transceiver.
•
Switch on Transceiver and check that it works ok. [ie lights work & mute works, etc].
•
Go to the nearest Mhz of one of the frequencies [68 – 88 Mhz].
•
Go to the channel Number for that Mhz on the chapter 38 “FM92E Test EPROM 68-88 Mhz Channel
verses Frequency List:” by the up/down buttons.
•
With signal generator check that the receiver works.
•
With the RF Power Meter check that RF power is being generated into dummy load & power meter.
•
Switch off set if working ok.
•
Remove EPROM.
•
