Task 12 —
VCO Faulty
If the loop voltage is correct, the loop filter is functioning properly.
The VCO and related circuitry is therefore suspect. The section to proceed
to depends on the type of the radio and the nature of the fault.
1. With a UHF radio go to Step 2 . With a VHF radio go to “VCO and
Related Circuitry (VHF Radios)” on page 224 .
2. If a UHF radio exhibits a lock error or a receive fault. the receive
VCO is suspect; go to
“Receive VCO and Related Circuitry (UHF
Radios)” on page 209 .
If it exhibits a system error or a transmit fault, the transmit VCO is
suspect; go to
“Transmit VCO and Related Circuitry (UHF and
800MHz Radios)” on page 218 .
Task 13 —
Check Reference
Voltage
If the loop-filter circuitry is suspect, first check the reference voltage for
the filter.
1. Remove the
SYN BOT
can.
2. Measure the reference voltage at pin 5 of IC505 (see Figure 9.4 ).
The result should be:
3. If the voltage is correct, go to Task 14 . If it is not, the reference-
voltage circuitry is suspect; go to Step 4 .
4. Resolder R542 in position and check the C-multiplier Q512
(see Figure 9.8 ).
5. If a fault is found, repair the circuit, and confirm that the reference
voltage is now correct. If it is, go to
“Final Tasks” on page 163 . If it
is not, or if no fault could be found, replace the board and go to “Final
Tasks” on page 163 .
