The VX-210A has been carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance
across the frequency range specified for each version. Re-alignment should therefore not
be necessary except in the event of component failure, or altering version type. All
component replacement and service should only be performed by an authorized Vertex
Standard representative, or the warranty policy may be void.

Before beginning alignment, connect the transceiver and PC using the CT-42
Programming Cable, and run the CE-45 Channel Programming Diskette, then
download the EEPROM data from the transceiver to the computer.
Then store this data in a disk file so that it can be uploaded when alignment is finished.
You should find the corresponding data file on the computer disk for the transceiver
version you are aligning, containing channel settings for the high edge, middle and low
edge of the transceiver's frequency range in channels 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Up-load
this file to the transceiver.
Low Band Edge (Channel 1): 400.000 MHz
Band Center (Channel 2): 415.000 MHz
High Band Edge (Channel 3): 430.000 MHz
