6.1 GENERAL

6.1.1 INTRODUCTION

The alignment procedure described in this section should be performed if repairs are made that could affect the factory alignment. In addition, before a transceiver is initially placed in service, the perfor- mance tests in Sections 6.8 and 6.9 should be performed.

To perform the alignment described in this section, special PCTune software (see Table 1-1) and the same basic computer setup used for programming is required. This equipment is shown above and also described in Section 3.1. Only Remote Programming Interface (RPI), Part No. 023-9800-000, can be used because it is the only RPI that has microphone and speaker audio jacks that are required for alignment.

Only two adjustments are made manually and the others are made digitally using the PCTune software. The two manual adjustments are squelch sensitivity and TCXO frequency, and if they do not need to be reset, the transceiver can be tuned without removing the cover.

This transceiver does not have a special test mode that is selected. The PCTune software automatically selects the frequencies and other test conditions that are required to perform the alignment. If the trans- ceiver must be controlled manually to perform such things as testing or troubleshooting, program tempo- rary conventional channels.

6.1.2 TEST SETUP

Connect the test setup shown in Figure 6-1. Addi- tional information follows on equipment in this setup.
