3.1.3  Covers

Remove the covers from the synthesizer and RF sections.

3.2  Synthesizer Alignment

NOTE: All synthesizer adjustments should be completed within 60 seconds of a cold start.

3.2.1  VCO Alignment

 
a.  Power up the comm unit in test mode.
b.  Change the display to the comm alignment test page
c.  Set the Channel Spacing switch for 25 kHz channel spacing.
d.  Set the frequency to 136.975 MHz.
e.  Monitor TP303 voltage with a DMM.
f. 

Adjust VCO coil L302 until the voltage reads 11.0 

±

 0.1V.  If the tuning voltage cannot be set

to 11V, adjust for the maximum voltage achievable.  The voltage must be greater than 9.50
VDC.

g.  Apply Q-Dope (GPN 291-00024-00) to L302.
