Task 26 —
Output of Buffer in
Exciter Circuit
If the synthesizer output is correct, check the output at C313 of the buffer
amplifier in the exciter circuit.
1. If not already done, remove the
PAD TOP can.
2. Enter the CCTM command 326 x, where x defines the power level
selected in Task 25
.
3. Enter the CCTM command 101 x x 0, where x is the frequency
selected in Task 25
.
4. Enter the CCTM command 33 to place the radio in transmit mode.
5. Measure the RF voltage after C313 (see Figure 12.15). (Use an
RFP5401A RF probe or the equivalent.) The required voltage
should be as given in Table 12.8 (B1 band) or Table 12.9 (H5, H6).
6. Enter the CCTM command 32 to place the radio in receive mode.
7. If the voltage measured above is correct, go to Task 27
. If it is not, go
to Step 8.
8. Check the components around Q300 (see Figure 12.15).
9. Repair any fault revealed by the above checks. Replace Q300
(see Figure 12.15) if none of the other components is faulty.
10. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on
page 147. If the repair failed, replace the main-board assembly and go
to “Final Tasks” on page 147.
Task 27 —
Output of Exciter
If the output of the buffer amplifier is correct, check that of the exciter at
C301.
1. With the radio still in transmit mode, measure the RF voltage after
C301 (see Figure 12.15). (Use an RFP5401A RF probe or the
equivalent.) The required voltage should be as given in Table 12.8
(B1 band) or Table 12.9 (H5, H6).
2. If the voltage is correct, go to Task 28
. If it is not, go to Step 3.
3. Enter the CCTM command 32 to place the radio in receive mode.
4. Check the components between C313 and Q303, and between
Q303 and R308 (see Figure 12.15).
5. Repair any fault revealed by the above checks. Replace Q303
(see Figure 12.15) if none of the other components is faulty.
6. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on
page 147. If the repair failed, replace the main-board assembly and go
to “Final Tasks” on page 147.
