Midland LXT314 Alignment Procedure

1. REFERENCE TEST EQUIPMENT
A. HP8921A Cell site test set or HP8920A, B Communication Test Set with Spectrum
Analyzer option.
B. Fluke 187 Digital Voltmeter
C. HP E3615A Power supply
2. TEST POINT
A. ANTENNA
B. VCO reference voltage
C. RX audio output
D. TX Mic. Input
E. Battery Vcc
F. Up Key
G. Down Key
H. Function Key
I. Monitor Key
J. PTT Key
K. CALL Key
Note. : All key can be activated when connect with ground.
3. VCO ALIGNMENT
A. Set unit to Channel 1 and connect a voltmeter to TP1 (VCO PD).
B. Press & hold PTT.
C. Extend L303 until the voltmeter reads 2.0V.
D. Cover shield-plate on VCO can and monitor the voltage on TP1. The voltage should be
1.5Vdc +/-0.2Vdc. If the voltage is not 2.0Vdc +/-0.2Vdc, realign L303 until meet to
requirement.
E. Release PTT button so units is in receiving mode and monitor the voltage on TP1. The
voltage should be in the range 2.0Vds +/-0.5V
F. Set unit to channel 14.
6. Press & hold the PTT switch and observe the voltage on TP4. The voltage should be 2 –
3,5 Vdc.
7. Release PTT and observe the voltage on TP4. The voltage should read between 2.0 - 3.5
Vdc.
Note : VCO shield-can should be soldered after VCO alignment is finished.
4. TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY ALIGNMENT
A. Press & hold the PTT button.
B. Align CT201 trimmer capacitor such that the output frequency is equal to the channel
frequency with a maximum error of +/- 200 Hz. CT201 is located on the left side of
20.95MHz X-tal.
