Receiver RF Preselector Alignment and Tuning
Tuning of the RF Preselector filter is typically only required when the Analog or Digital Sensitivity or Analog
Distortion do not meet published specifications, or when the receiver RF frequency is changed beyond the
band pass of the filter (typically 5 - 7 MHz in a VHF or UHF 400 MHz receiver). The UHF 700 / 800 / 900 MHz
receiver RF Preselector is Full Band and does not require any tuning.
Connect the 8800 and Zetron Radio as shown in Figure G-13.
Figure G-13: Receiver RF Preselector Tuning
The RF Preselector output is a small RF cable internal in the receiver that terminates in an SMB connector.
The SMB plugs into J3 on the Receiver Mainboard. Disconnect the SMB cable from J3 and use the SMB-BNC
adapter to connect this point to the ANT input on the 8800 as shown in Figure G-14.
