Tuning Procedure
Transmitter Power
NOTE
During Tx POWER tuning, measure and
note the DC transmit current (I
Tx
) for
each channel in the high power band.
1.
Press
F5
to select the Tx POWER calibration
softpot. The screen will indicate the transmit
test frequencies to be used.
2.
Press
F6
to key the radio.
3.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the
transmit power value.
4.
Press
Enter
to select next softpot frequency.
5.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining test fre-
quencies.
6.
Press
F6
to dekey the radio.
7.
Press
F8
to program the value.

POWER.
1.
After Tx POWER tuning the TRANSMIT CUR-
RENT LIMIT screen will appear. Select the fre-
quency with the highest DC transmit current
(I
Tx
) measured during the Tx POWER tuning
procuedure.
2.
Press
F6
to key the radio.
3.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the
DC transmit current value per Table 7-1.
4.
Press
F6
to dekey the radio.
5.
Press
F8
to program the value.
Transmit Deviation Balance
(Compensation) & Deviation Limit
Compensation alignment balances the modulation
sensitivity of the VCO and reference modulation (syn-
thesizer low frequency port) lines. Compensation algo-
rithm is critical to the operation of signaling schemes
that have very low frequency components (e.g. DPL)
and could result in distorted waveforms if improperly
adjusted.
1.
Press
F6
to select TX DEVIATION CALIBRA-
TION. The screen will indicate the transmit
test frequencies to be used.
2.
Begin with the lowest test frequency shown on
the screen.
3.
Press
F6
to key the radio. Record this measure-
ment.
4.
Press
F4
to select 2.5 kHz.
5.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the
deviation to within 0.5 dB of the value
recorded in step 3.
6.
Press
Enter
to move to next softpot value.
7.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining fre-
quencies.
8.
Press
F8
to program the softpot value.
Transmit Deviation Limit
The transmit deviation limit softpot sets the maximum
deviation of the carrier. Tuning is performed for 25 kHz
channel spacing.
1.
Begin with the lowest test frequency shown on
the screen.
2.
Press
F6
to key the radio.
3.
With Test Box 4460A: inject a 1 kHz tone, 2000
mVrms.
4.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the
deviation to between 4.4 kHz and 4.8 kHz.
5.
Press
Enter
to move to the next softpot value.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining fre-
quencies shown on the screen.
7.
Press
F6
to dekey the radio.
8.
Press
F8
to program the softpot value.
Squelch
The squelch softpots set the signal to noise ratio at
which the squelch opens.
1.
Press
F9
to select SQUELCH Adjustment.
2.
Adjust the UP/DOWN arrow key to the mini-
mum squelch value.
