Set up the test equipment as shown for transmitter alignment. Adjust the supply
voltage to 7.

V for all steps where not specified otherwise.

PLL VCV (Varactor Control Voltage)

ˆ

 

Connect the DC voltmeter between 

TP03

 on the chip side of the Main Unit and

ground.

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 3 (high band edge), and adjust 

L1004

 on the chip side of

the Main Unit for 3.6 V ± 0.1 V on the voltmeter.

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 1 (low band edge), and confirm the low-end VCV is more
than 0.8 V while transmitting, and also while receiving.

PLL Reference Frequency

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 2 (band center), key the transmitter and adjust 

TC1001

on the component side of the Main Unit, if necessary, so the frequency counter
displays the band center frequency ±100 Hz (for the version being aligned) when
transmitting.

Transmitter Output Power

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 2 (band center), and select high power output.

ˆ

 

Ensure that the supply voltage is precisely 7.5 V, then adjust 

VR1004

 on the

component side of the Main Unit (while the PTT switch is pressed) for 5.0 W on the
wattmeter, and confirm that supply current remains below 2.0 A.

Modulation Level

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 2 (band center), adjust the AF generator for 77 mV rms
output at 1 kHz to the MIC jack.

ˆ

 

Press the PTT switch and adjust 

VR1002

 on the component side of the Main Unit

for a deviation of ±4.2 kHz (for 25 kHz steps), or ±2.1 kHz (for 12.5 kHz steps).

Set up the test equipment as shown for receiver alignment.

Sensitivity

ˆ

 

Set the transceiver to CH 3 (high band edge), and the RF signal generator tuned to
the same frequency, set the generator for ±3.0 kHz deviation with 1 kHz tone
modulation, and set the output level for 40 µV at the antenna jack.
