Chapter 2 Theory Of Operation Introduction This chapter provides a basic theory of operation for the radio components. Major Assemblies • Transceiver Board – contains all transmit, receive, and audio circuitry. • Display (Limited and Full Keypad models only) – 8 characters (14 segments star burst) and 10 icons with backlighting, liquid-crystal display (LCD).
Theory Of Operation: Major Assemblies The IFIC is a low-voltage monolithic FM IF system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting IF amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic received signal strength indicator (RSSI), voltage regulator and audio, and RSSI Op Amps. The second LO frequency, 44.395 MHz, is determined by a crystal oscillator.

Chapter 4 Performance Checks General These radios meet published specifications through their manufacturing process by utilizing high- accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment is as accurate as the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.
Monitor Vol: 1/4 CW RF Test Mode When the PR400 radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcomputer controls the RF channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting, according to the customer codeplug configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it must be removed from its normal environment using a special routine, called RF TEST MODE.
Performance Checks: RF Test Mode To enter test mode: 1. Turn the radio on. Within ten seconds after the self test is complete (self test tone is heard), press SB2 (Side Button 2 in Figure 4-2) five times in succession. If the self test complete tone is not heard, see Error Codes information in Chapter 9.

Chapter 5 Radio Alignment Procedures Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the Commercial Series Customer Programming Software (CPS) and the Global Tuner as designed for use in a Windows® 98/NT4/2000/ME/XP environment. Both cover all the functions of the traditional Radio Service Software (RSS) package. They are both available in the CPS and Global Tuner (CD ROM) Kit (RVN4191).
Radio Alignment Procedures: Radio Tuning Setup Radio Tuning Setup A Windows 98/NT4/2000/ME/XP PC (personal computer) and Global Tuner are required to tune the radio. To perform the tuning procedures, the radio must be connected to the PC, RIB (Radio Interface Box) and Universal Test Set as shown in Figure 5-2 below.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options 5.3.1 Initial Test Equipment Control Settings The initial test equipment control settings are listed in Table 5-1. Table 5-1. Initial Equipment Control Settings Service Monitor Test Set Power Supply Monitor Mode: Power Monitor Speaker set: A Voltage: 13.2 Vdc RF Attenuation: -70 Speaker/load:...
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options 1. Under Tx Align menu, select Reference Oscillator Warp (Figure 5-3). 2. There is only 1 frequency point shown which is always the last non-0 transmit frequency point, which will normally be F7. 3. Click on the slider thumb and press PTT Toggle to key up the radio at the corresponding fre- quency point.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options Figure 5-4. Modulation Balance Window Compensation alignment balances the modulation sensitivity of the VCO and reference modulation (synthesizer low frequency port) lines. The compensation algorithm is critical to the operation of signaling schemes that have very low frequency components (Digital Private-Line) and could result in distorted waveforms if improperly adjusted.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options Note: When checking the RF power output of the radio with a test set, always use a pad of at least 30 dB attached to the radio end of the RF cable. This will avoid an RF mismatch and ensure a stable RF reading that will not change with varying lengths of connecting cable Figure 5-5.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options after typing in the softpot value). 4. Press PTT Toggle to dekey the radio, go to the next frequency point by selecting the slider, typing in the edit control box (press ENTER to confirm your selection) or toggling the softpot value using the spin control.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options spin control can also be toggled via its up/down arrow buttons. The softpot value can also be typed into the edit control (press ENTER to confirm your selection/send a softpot value). 3. Inject 1 kHz at an appropriate level until 2.3 V rms is measured at the AC/DC METER (radio input) if using test box RLN4460.
5-10 Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options Table 5-4. Deviation Specifications Band Channel Spacing Deviation (kHz) UHF/VHF 25 kHz 4.40 - 4.60 UHF/VHF 12.5 kHz 2.20 - 2.30 UHF/VHF 20 kHz 3.40 - 3.60 5.4.5 DTMF Deviation Tuning This tuning option controls the Dual Tone MultiFrequency deviation. Please note that Modulation Balancing and VCO Attenuation have to be performed prior to this tuning operation.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Receiver Tuning 5-11 5.4.6 MDC1200 Deviation Tuning (MDC radios only) This tuning option controls the MDC1200 Signaling deviation. Please note that Modulation Balancing and VCO Attenuation have to be performed prior to this tuning operation. Not doing so will result in the wrong deviation value being obtained while tuning this feature.
5-12 Radio Alignment Procedures: Receiver Tuning 5.5.1 Rated Volume Tuning Note: When using test box RLN4460, the received audio output is taken from the AC/DC METER OUT terminals with the METER OUT rotary switch set to RX. The rated audio tuning procedure automatically configures the radio for 25 KHz.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Receiver Tuning 5-13 5.5.2 Squelch Tuning Note: 1. Squelch tuning can only be accomplished after reference oscillator warping. 2. When using the test box RLN4460, the received audio output is taken from the AC/ DC METER OUT terminals with the METER OUT rotary switch set to RX. It is recom- mended that Rated Volume Tuning be performed so the the correct 10 dB SINAD level can be obtained.
5-14 Radio Alignment Procedures: Receiver Tuning 3. Set softpot to its maximum value to mute the radio. 4. Adjust the softpot value by using the slider, keying in the edit box or using the spin controls. Press ENTER to confirm the selection or use the spin controls. Do this until the radio is totally unmuted. Verify the squelch closing by inputting a signal level of 4 dB lower than that of the 10 dB SINAD level.
Radio Alignment Procedures: Utilities 5-15 5. Adjust the input level to reflect the next softspot value. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to tune the next value. 5.5.4 RSSI Display Tuning 1. Under the Rx Align menu, select RSSI Display Tuning. 2.
5-16 Radio Alignment Procedures: Radio-to-Radio Cloning Procedure: 1. Turn source and target radios off. 2. Connect cloning cable (AAPMKN4003) to the side connector of both radios. 3. Turn on the destination radio. 4. Press and hold the two side buttons at the same time on the source radio and then power up the source radio (Figure 5-12).
