VI. TX COMPENSATION CALIBRATION
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
Alignment of compensation calibration points is a
way of correcting for deviation sensitivity vs RF frequen-
cy variations in the VCO. These points must be
checked and adjusted if the VCO is replaced. There are
four frequency zones for compensation calibration
points (two for transmit band; two for talkaround).
Adjust these independently.
A. Method 1
This method requires a modulation analyzer or
meter with a frequency response to less than 10Hz
modulating frequency. This is the preferred, more accu-
rate method. If, however, such test equipment is not
available, use method 2.
1.
Connect the modulation meter to the antenna con-
nector, using minimum cable length and appropriate
power attenuators for the meter input level.
2.
Connect dc power to the radio and switch radio
power on.
3.
At the PC’s "MAIN MENU” prompt, press F2 to
select "SERVICE.”
4.
At the "SERVICE” menu, press F4 to select
"ADVANCED ALIGNMENT.”
5.
At the "ADVANCED ALIGNMENT” menu, press F4
to select the TX Compensation Calibration screen.
NOTE
There are four compensation calibration points to be
set. Use the F4 and F6 keys to key the radio, since
the programmer calculates the correct frequency for
each point and programs the radio to operate at that
frequency. Do not use the microphone PTT.
When using this menu, and upon saving the values,
the programmer recalculates and stores both the com-
pensation calibration and the compensation values.
These may not be the same as those displayed before
storing the final values.
6.
At the TX compensation Calibration screen, press
F4 to key the radio with an 11Hz tone modulation.
7.
Note the level of deviation on the analyzer and
press F4 to dekey the radio. (Use average devia-
tion, if available, on the analyzer.)
8.
Press F6 to key the radio again. This generates a
67Hz tone.
9.
Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the com-
pensation value until the deviation is within ±0.2 dB
(2.3%) of the value noted in step (7).
10. Press F6 to dekey the radio.
11. Use the TAB key to select the next zone value;
repeat steps (6) through (10) to check and adjust
the value.
12. Repeat step (11) until all four zones have been
adjusted.
13. Press F8 to program the value.
14. This completes TX compensation calibration adjust-
ment procedure. Press F10 twice to return to the
"SERVICE” menu and adjust deviation per para-
graph IV.
B. Method 2
This method for setting TX compensation calibration
can be used if a modulation analyzer or meter, as
described in method 1, is not available. This method
requires the radio to be disassembled so that the RF
board is exposed, and test point TP603 on that board
can be accessed with an ac millivoltmeter. (J601 pin 2
may be used instead of TP603.)
1.
Connect dc power to the radio and switch radio
power on.
2.
At the PC’s "MAIN MENU” prompt, press F2 to
select "SERVICE.”
3.
At the "SERVICE” menu, press F4 to select
"ADVANCED ALIGNMENT.”
4.
At the "ADVANCED ALIGNMENT” menu, press F4
to select the TX Compensation Calibration screen.
NOTE
There are four compensation calibration points to be
set. Press F4 and F6 to key the radio, since the pro-
grammer calculates the correct frequency for each
point and programs the radio to operate at that fre-
quency. Do not use the microphone PTT.
When using this menu, and upon saving the values,
the programmer recalculates and stores both the com-
pensation calibration and the compensation values.
These may not be the same as those displayed before
storing the final values.
When measuring the voltage on TP603 with the ac
millivoltmeter, keep the ground leads as short as possi-
ble to keep noise to a minimum level.
5.
At the TX Compensation Calibration screen, press
F6 to key the radio with a 67Hz tone modulation.
6.
Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the com-
pensation calibration value for a null ac voltage at
TP603.
7.
Press F6 to dekey.
8.
Press TAB to select the next zone value; repeat
steps (5) through (7) to check and adjust the value.
9.
Repeat step (8) until all four zones have been
adjusted.
10. Press F8 to program the value.
