TROUBLESHOOTING

The problems described in this table are commonly encountered operational malfunctions. These types of difficulties are usually caused by improper hook-up, accidental incorrect control settings, or operator error due to incomplete programming. These problems are usually not caused by circuit failure. Please review this table, and the appropriate section(s) of this instruction manual, before assuming your transceiver is defective.

Note: When 2 frequencies are received in the same band and these frequencies have relationships per the equation below or other similar relationships, an internal heterodyne may be heard. This is not a defect.

VHF/UHF mode: (UHF receive frequency – 45.05 MHz) x 2 – (VHF receive frequency + 38.85 MHz) x 4 = 38.85 MHz or 45.05 MHz (UHF receive frequency – 45.05 MHz) – (VHF receive frequency + 38.85 MHz) x 2 = 38.85 MHz

VHF/VHF mode: (VHF receive frequency on the UHF band + 45.05 MHz) x 5 – (VHF receive frequency on the VHF band + 38.85 MHz) x 5 = 38.85 MHz or 45.05 MHz (VHF receive frequency on the UHF band + 45.05 MHz) x 4 – (VHF receive frequency on the VHF band + 38.85 MHz) x 4 = 38.85 MHz

(VHF receive frequency on the VHF band + 38.85 MHz) – (VHF receive frequency on the UHF band + 45.05 MHz) x 0.75 = 38.85 MHz

UHF/UHF mode: (UHF receive frequency on the VHF band – 38.85 MHz) x 3 – (UHF receive frequency on the UHF band – 45.05 MHz) x 3 = 38.85 MHz or 45.05 MHz (UHF receive frequency on the VHF band – 38.85 MHz) x 4 – (UHF receive frequency on the UHF band – 45.05 MHz) x 4 = 38.85 MHz or 45.05 MHz
