4.5.1.2.3 Localizing Problems

Failure locations often can be determined by externally measured symptoms. Basic symptoms are
noted below with probable failure locations.
1. Low Power and High Current
- Check for improper load conditions caused by high VSWR external to the radio.
- Check output coax and mini-UHF connector.
- Check harmonic filter.
- Check output impedance-matching circuitry from the final device to the harmonic filter.
2. Low Power and Low Current
- If control voltage drive is equal to 9.2 V, then check per the above.
- If control voltage drive is less than 9.2 V, then check the control circuitry.
3. Power Intermittently Low (or Zero) and Current Less than 1 A. When Power Drops
- Check LLA stage.
4. Power Zero and Current Greater Than 3 A.
- Check harmonic filter, antenna switch, and matching circuits beyond final stage.
5. Power Zero and Current Between 1 and 3 A.
- Check driver and/or final stages.
6. Power Zero and Current Less Than 1 A.
- Check LLA/driver circuitry.
