Alignment
The VX-210A has been carefully aligned at the factory for
the specified performance across the frequency range spec-
ified for each version. Re-alignment should therefore not
be necessary except in the event of component failure, or
altering version type. All component replacement and
service should only be performed by an authorized Ver-
tex representative, or the warranty policy may be void.
Required Test Equipment
m
CT-42 Programming Cable with CE45 Channel Pro-
gramming Diskette
m
RF Signal Generator with calibrated output level at
1GHz

In-Line wattmeter with 5 % accuracy at 500 MHz
m
Regulated DC Power Supply adjustable from 4 to 10 V,
3 A
m
50-ohm Non-reactive Dummy Load: 10 W at 500 MHz
m
Frequency Counter: ±0.2 ppm accuracy at 500 MHz

m
DC Voltmeter: high impedance
Before beginning alignment, connect the transceiver and
PC using the CT-42 Programming Cable, and run the CE45
Channel Programming Diskette, then download the EE-
PROM data from the transceiver to the computer. Then
store this data in a disk file so that it can be uploaded
when alignment is finished.
You should find the corresponding data file on the com-
puter disk for the transceiver version you are aligning, con-
taining channel settings for the high edge, middle and low
edge of the transceiver’s frequency range in channels 1, 2
and 3, respectively. Up-load this file to the transceiver.
Note:
Signal levels in dB referred to in the alignment proce-
dure are based on 0 dBµ EMF= 0.5µV (closed circuit).
PLL & Transmitter
Set up the test equipment as shown for transmitter align-
ment. Adjust the supply voltage to 7.2 V for all steps where
not specified otherwise.
PLL VCV (Varactor Control Voltage)
r
Connect the DC voltmeter between
TP03
on the chip
side of the Main Unit and ground.
r
Set the transceiver to CH 3 (high band edge), and ad-
just
L1004
on the chip side of the Main Unit for 3.6 V
(±0.1 V) on the voltmeter.
r
Set the transceiver to CH 1 (low band edge), and con-
firm the low-end VCV is more than 0.8 V while trans-
mitting, and also while receiving.
