Dc Problems
n
Measure the dc voltage at pin 1 of C104. This is the output of the
dc to dc converter. It should be 5V
±
0.2 Vdc.
n
Measure the dc voltage at C113, pin 1, and C105, pin 1. It should
be 5V
±
0.2 V.
n
Verify the battery voltage is between 2 V and 3.5 V.
n
Check for proper Vcc and +5 V rf at Q207 (make all dc measure-
ments with respect to rf ground unless otherwise specified). If
incorrect voltage is present, check the values of the biasing
resistors.
n
Trace the dc back to the dc to dc converter.
n
Check the power switch.
n
Look for open coils, cracked parts, reversed polarity capacitors,
solder shorts. If there is a short to ground from 5 V, isolate differ-
ent parts of the circuit.
n
Verify rf OFF signal changes from +5 V at power on/power off to
0 V during normal operation. Trace the signal to the microproces-
sor. Q207 should be saturated during normal operation.
n
Verify that the battery voltage appears at U105 pin 1.
n
Verify that the Vds (drain to source voltage) of Q101 is approxi-
mately –0.025 V. Q101 should be saturated.
n
Verify that the dc to dc converter output is 5 V at pin 8 on U105.
Rf Problems
n
If the carrier is out of specification by less than 40 kHz and
cannot be corrected by adjusting C239, check the values of
C239, C238, and Y201. If these values are correct, replace
Y201. As a last resort, replace synthesizer U204.
n
If the carrier frequency is not within the allocated UHF band-
width, or if it is unstable, the loop is unlocked. Check the solder
connections at the head board, VCO, microprocessor (traces LE,
D, and CK), and synthesizer U204.
n
Check for 4 MHz frequency at pins 1 and 2 of U204. If frequency
other than 4 MHz is detected, replace crystal Y201.
n
Check the loop filter: R238, C245, R240, C266, C267, R239,
C247 U208, R243, and R285.
n
Check U204, pins 3 and 4, and U208, pin 8.
n
Replace synthesizer U204. The tuning voltage of the VCO
should be approximately 3 Vdc when the transmitter is pro-
grammed for the center of the frequency range.
