• Processor Constantly Interrupted
Typical Readings
U23 Pin 2 Constantly clocked.
Repair Procedure (If Necessary)
Interrupt problems occur only when the VRC2000 hardware is damaged.
A good place to check for this damage is the microprocessor address/
data bus. The resistance between each of U23 pins 21–28 and ground
should be 10kOhms. If any of these pins measures differently, it
indicates that a port on the bus has broken down. Contact Gentner

• Poor or No DTMF Decoding
Typical Readings
U55 Pin 3 = 3.576–3.583MHz Clock
U16 Pin 8 < 1.5V peak-to-peak when receiving DTMF tones.
Repair Procedure (If Necessary)
Since DTMF receive levels vary from area to area, it may be necessary to
adjust the gain in the DTMF receive amplifier. The circuit in Figure 24
(below)
depicts the receive amplifier.

The analog input of the SSI202 DTMF decoder has a 40dB window of
acceptable DTMF level. As shipped from the factory, that window is
centered at -20dBm, setting the maximum acceptable, nominal input
level 0dBm, and the minimum -40dBm. This nominal level (-20dBm) is
typically 1.5V p-p at pin 8 of U16C. If a VRC2000 has a DTMF level
greater than this at U16C’s output, then either of the following simple
changes can be made to adjust the receive window.
Suggestion 1: Connect the junction of R86 and FET3’s drain to ground
by shorting across FET3’s drain and source leads.
Suggestion 2: Increase the value of R49.
If R49 is changed to 20kOhms, 6dB of attenuation is obtained. It may be
