Raider Installation and Operation Rev. 1.4.2
RPT AUDIO
18. Set the service monitor to duplex mode and select the repeater output frequency with the correct
offset. Generate a 1kHz tone at 2kHz deviation (800Hz for 12.5kHz operation). Turn "on"
(DOWN) LGC SQ and TX TEST. This enables the audio signal to pass through the Raider.
Adjust the RPT AUDIO R13 for 2kHz of deviation (800Hz for 12.5kHz operation). For
optimum performance, the audio going into a repeater should be the same level coming out.
19. The repeater has a master level potentiometer or deviation limiter internal to the exciter which,
if the range is too limited, may have to be adjusted and balanced with RPT AUDIO. What goes
in should also come out.
TX DATA
20. Turn the LGC SQ switch "off" (up). Keep the TX Test switch "on" (down). Set the service
monitor to receive on the repeater output frequency and adjust the TX DATA R57 level for
1kHz deviation (800Hz for 12.5kHz operation).
21. Set the TX Test switch to "off" (up). Set the service monitor to receive mode on the repeater's
output frequency.
Morse Code CWID
22. Adjustment of the CW LEVEL should be performed even if the channel is not the ID channel.
Toggle the BAUD switch, first in one direction then back to the original position and adjust
the CW LEVEL R27 for 2.5kHz deviation (1.5kHz for 12.5kHz operation) including data.
Remember to set the BAUD switch back to the correct baud rate position.
Handshake Testing
23. The term "handshake" in these instances gives reference to the successful effort of the radio and
the repeater to communicate. Try to access the Raider by keying the test radio. The CARRIER,
RECEIVE and TRANSMIT LEDS should come "on" steady. If they do, this is an indication
that the two units have made the handshake.
24. If the CARRIER LED is "on" and the RECEIVE LED is "off", try changing the RX DATA
switch. If the CARRIER and RECEIVE LEDS come "on" and the TRANSMIT LED also
comes "on" but the unit does not handshake, try inverting the TX Data switch. If a problem still
occurs, check all connections.
TONE LEVEL
25. TONE LEVEL becomes active when a CTCSS tone is keyed on the repeater. TONE LEVEL
controls the TX tone level when a tone user is active on the repeater. To set this level, enable
a tone user for a 100Hz tone. Set the service monitor to duplex mode and select the repeater
output frequency with the correct offset. Generate a 100Hz tone deviating at 750Hz while
monitoring the output of the repeater. Adjust TONE LEVEL for 750Hz of deviation.
26. Reconnect the T-NET Data Bus if this is a multi-channel system. Set the sync for normal
system operation.
The Raider Alignment Procedure is now complete.
