1
Remove the six securing screws from the bottom cover , and the cover itself.
2
Connect a resistive 50
3
Connect 13.4V DC power to transceiver J505.
4
Connect a 3.2
, 20W resistor to pins 4 and 6 of the Accessory Plug. The jumper
between pins 5 and 6 must be temporarily removed to make this connection .
The resistor serves as a constant load to replace the speaker's inconsistencies.
CAUTION:Both speaker terminals are LIVE. Never ground either one. Connect grounded receive-audio
measuring -equipment to only one side of the speaker, and chassis ground. Normally, voltage
measurement will be half of true values.
5
Turn the radio on (Push on and Push off switch), set the VOLUME control to
a m i d -position.
Connect the Programmer to Programming Port Mic Jack J302.
Upload the radio programming Data -Packet into the Programmer and
initiate its Remote Control Mode. Refer to the appropriate manual for details.

  • Page 1 7 0-0671 Alignment Procedure SETUP Remove the six securing screws from the bottom cover , and the cover itself. Ω Connect a resistive 50 RF load and wattmeter to Antenna Connector J502. Connect 13.4V DC power to transceiver J505. Ω Connect a 3.2 , 20W resistor to pins 4 and 6 of the Accessory Plug.
  • Page 2 • Reference Oscillator 4 Initiate transmit on any channel. Measure transmitted RF carrier frequency without modulation and, if necessary, adjust REFERENCE OSCILLATOR X701 ± for carrier frequency to within 3 0 H z o f c h a n n e l f r e q u e n c y . P A M O D U L E A L IG N M E N T The 70 -0671 should be adjusted to have a 6 MHz channel spread (8 MHz C-B a n d ) at 110W.
