Alignment
FM TX IF Adjustment
1. Tune the frequency to the 28 MHz band. Connect the
RF millivoltmeter to
TP1033
on the MAIN Unit.
2. Disconnect the Coaxial Cable from
J1002
and termi-
nate
J1002
into a 50-Ohm dummy load.
3. Key the transmitter in the FM mode, and adjust
T1014
,
T1023
, and
T1021
alternately for maximum indica-
tion on the RF millivoltmeter.
4. Connect the frequency counter to
TP1033
.
5. Key the transmitter in the FM mode without micro-
phone input. Adjust
L1049
for a reading of 68.3300
MHz (±100 Hz).
6. Disconnect the 50-Ohm dummy load and re-connect
the Coaxial Cable to
J1002
.
Carrier Balance Adjustment
1. Tune the frequency to the 14 MHz band. Disconnect
the Coaxial Cable from
J1002
on the MAIN Unit.
2. Terminate
J1002
into a 50-Ohm dummy load and con-
nect a spectrum analyzer or a RF millivoltmeter at this
point.
3. Key the transmitter in the USB mode without micro-
phone input. Adjust
VR1005
for maximum carrier sup-
pression on the spectrum analyzer or for minimum in-
dication on the RF millivoltmeter.
4. Disconnect the 50-Ohm dummy load and the spectrum
analyzer or the RF millivoltmeter, and re-connect the
Coaxial Cable to
J1002
.
TX BPF Adjustment
VHF TX BPF Adjustment
1. Set the frequency to 145.995 MHz. Disconnect the
Coaxial Cable from
J1002
on the MAIN Unit.
2. Connect the spectrum analyzer to
J1002
, which should
be terminated into a 50-Ohm dummy load.
3. Inject a 1 kHz tone at 1 mV level to the
MIC
jack.
4. Key the transceiver in the USB mode, and adjust
T1013
,
T1012
, and
T1011
alternately for maximum
indication on the spectrum analyzer.
5. Disconnect the 50-Ohm dummy load and the spectrum
analyzer, and re-connect the Coaxial Cable to
J1002
.
UHF TX BPF Adjustment
1. Set the frequency to 430.000 MHz. Disconnect the
Coaxial Cable from
J1002
on the MAIN Unit.
2. Connect the spectrum analyzer to
J1002
, which should
be terminated into a 50-Ohm dummy load.
3. Inject a 1 kHz tone at 1 mV level to the
MIC
jack.
4. Key the transceiver in the USB mode, and adjust
TC1004
,
TC1003
and
TC1002
alternately for maxi-
mum indication on the spectrum analyzer.
5. Disconnect the 50-Ohm dummy load and the spectrum
analyzer, and re-connect the Coaxial Cable to
J1002
.
