Radio Tuning Procedure Radio Tuning Procedure General The recommended hardware platform is a 386 or 486 DX 33 PC (personal computer) with 8 Mbytes RAM, MS DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, and DPS (Dealer Programming Software). These are required to align the radio. Refer to your DPS Installation Manual for installation and setup procedures for the required software;...
Radio Tuning Procedure The Service windows introduce the concept of the “Softpot”, an analog SOFTware controlled POTentiometer used for adjusting all transceiver alignment controls. A softpot can be selected by clicking with the mouse at the value or the slider or by hitting the TAB key until the value or the slider is highlighted.
Radio Tuning Procedure Transmitter Power The radio has two power level settings, a high power level setting, and a low power level setting. IMPORTANT : To set the transmitter power for customer applications use the Common Radio Parameters window under the Edit menu and set the “Low Power Level” and “High Power Level” powers to the desired values.
Radio Tuning Procedure Reference Oscillator Adjustment of the reference oscillator is critical for proper radio operation. Improper adjustment will not only result in poor operation, but also a misaligned radio that will interfere with other users operating on adjacent channels. For this reason, the reference oscillator should be checked every time the radio is serviced.
Radio Tuning Procedure When no chatter is detected, select the next softpot and repeat steps 4 - 7 for all test frequencies shown in the window. Click the Program button to store the softpot values. Transmit Voltage Limit The transmit control voltage limit softpot sets the maximum power control voltage. All 7 voltage limit softpots are tuned and programmed automatically when the Program button is clicked.
Radio Tuning Procedure 7.11 Transmit Deviation Limit The transmit deviation limit softpot sets the maximum deviation of the carrier. The deviation value needs to be set at 7 frequencies across the frequency range. From the Service menu, select Transmitter Alignment. Select Reference Attenuation to open the reference attenuation tuning window.
Page 36
Radio Tuning Procedure Set the RF test generator to the receive test frequency, and set the RF level to the value indicated for RSSI Level 0, modulated with a 1 kHz tone at the normal test deviation shown in table 3-5. Set test box (GTF180) audio switch to the “SPKR” position. The 1 kHz tone must be audible to make sure the radio is receiving.

It consists of a microprocessor, support memory, support logic, signal MUX ICs, the On/Off circuit, and general purpose Input/Output circuitry. The controller uses the Motorola 68HC11K1 microprocessor (U0101). In addition to the microprocessor, the controller has 3 external memory devices. The 3 memory devices consist of a 32 kByte SRAM (U0103), a 256kByte FLASH EEPROM (U0102), and an optional EEPROM (U0104 or U0107) upto 16kByte.
Open Controller Regulator U0601 is used to generate the 9.3 volts required by some audio circuits, the RF circuitry and power control circuitry. Input and output capacitors (C0601-C0603 and C0604/C0605) are used to reduce high frequency noise. R0602/R0603 set the output voltage of the regulator. If the voltage at pin 1 is greater than 1.3 volts the regulator output decreases and if the voltage is less than 1.3 volts the regulator output increases.
Open Controller While EMERGENCY CONTROL is low, SW B+ is on, the microprocessor starts execution, reads that the emergency input is active through the voltage level of EMER IGN SENSE, and sets the B+ CONTROL output of the ASFIC pin B4 to a logic high. This high will keep Q0611 switched on through Q0612.
Open Controller Microprocessor Clock Synthesizer The clock source for the microprocessor system is generated by the ASFIC (U0201). Upon power- up the synthesizer U5701 (UHF) / U3701 (VHF) / U8701 (300MHz-R1) generates a 2.1 MHz waveform that is routed from the RF section (via C0202) to the ASFIC (on U0201-E1) For the main board controller the ASFIC uses 2.1MHz as a reference input clock signal for its internal synthesizer.
Open Controller 2.10 SPEB Serial Interface The SBEP serial interface allows the radio to communicate with the Dealer Programming Software (DPS) via the Radio Interface Box (RIB). This interface connects to the accessory connector J0400- 6 and comprises BUS+ (J0101-15). The line is bi-directional, meaning that either the radio or the DPS can drive the line.
Page 44
Open Controller The external SRAM (U0103) as well as the µP’s own internal RAM space are used for temporary calculations required by the software during execution. All of the data stored in both of these locations is lost when the radio powers off (See the particular device subsection for more details). The FLASH EEPROM contains the actual Radio Operating Software.
Open Controller Capacitors C0104, C0105, C0113, C0114 serve to filter out any AC noise which may ride on +5V at U0101. Input IRQ (U101-61) generates an interrupt, if either HOOK RSS (J0101-3) is higher than 6V (SBEP communication) and turns Q0106 on via Q0105, Q0104, or a low at the option interrupt pin (J0103- 8) turns Q0124 off and Q0125 on.
Open Controller 2.15 Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) The SRAM (U0103) contains temporary radio calculations or parameters that can change very frequently, and which are generated and stored by the software during its normal operation. The information is lost when the radio is turned off. The device allows an unlimited number of write cycles.
General CONTROLLER BOARD AUDIO AND SIGNALLING CIRCUITS General Audio Signalling Filter IC (ASFIC) The ASFIC (U0201) used in the controller has 4 functions; RX/TX audio shaping, i.e. filtering, amplification, attenuation RX/TX signalling, PL/DPL/HST/MDC/MPT Squelch detection Microprocessor clock signal generation (see Microprocessor Clock Synthesizer Description Block).
Transmit Audio Circuits From here the signal is routed to R0206. R0204 and R0205 provide the 9.3VDC bias and R0206 provides input protection for the CMOS amplifier input. R0205 and C0209 provide a 1kohm AC path to ground that sets the input impedance for the microphone and determines the gain based on the emitter resistor in the microphone’s amplifier circuit.
Transmit Signalling Circuits PTT Sensing and TX Audio Processing Mic PTT coming from the Control Head via connector J101-4 is sensed by the µP U0101 pin 22. An external PTT can be generated by grounding pin 3 on the accessory connector. When microphone PTT or external PTT is sensed, the µP will always configure the ASFIC for the internal mic audio path.
Transmit Signalling Circuits Sub-audible Data (PL/DPL) Sub-audible data implies signalling whose bandwidth is below 300Hz. PL and DPL waveforms are used for conventional operation and connect tones for trunked voice channel operation. The trunking connect tone is simply a PL tone at a higher deviation level than PL in a conventional system. Although it is referred to as ”sub-audible data,”...
Receive Audio Circuits CH ACT is routed to the µP pin 25 while SQ DET adds up with LOCK DET, weighted by resistors R0113, R0114, and is routed to one of the µP´s ADC inputs U0101-43. From the voltage weighted by the resistors the µP determines whether SQ DET, LOCK DET or both are active.
Receive Signalling Circuits The audio PA is enabled via AUDIO PA ENABLE signal from the ASFIC (U0201-B5). When the base of Q0401 is low, the transistor is off and U0401-8 is high, using pull up resistor R0406, and the Audio PA is ON.
Receive Signalling Circuits Sub-audible Data (PL/DPL) and High Speed Data Decoder The ASFIC (U0201) is used to filter and limit all received data. The data enters the ASFIC at U0201- J7. Inside U0201 the data is filtered according to data type (HS or LS), then it is limited to a 0-5V digital level.
Receiver Front-End 300MHz SPECIFIC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Receiver Front-End The receiver is able to cover the range from 336 to 390 MHz. It consists of four major blocks: front- end, mixer, first IF section and IF IC. Antenna signal pre-selection is performed by two varactor tuned bandpass filters.
Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 5-25W IF IC (U5201) The first IF signal from the crystal filters feeds the IF IC (U5201) at pin 6. Within the IF IC the 45.1MHz first IF signal mixes with the second local oscillator (LO) at 44.645MHz to the second IF at 455 kHz.
Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 5-25W PA Stages The bipolar transistor Q8520 is driven by Q8510. To reduce the collector-emitter voltage and in turn the power dissipation of Q8510 its collector current is drawn from the antenna switch circuit. In transmit mode the base of Q8520 is slightly positive biased by a divided K9V1 signal. This bias along with the rf signal from Q8510 allows a collector current to be drawn from the antenna switch circuit and in turn switches the antenna switch to transmit, while in receive mode the low K9V1 signal with no rf signal present cuts off the collector current and in turn switches the antenna switch...
Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 5-25W A high impedance resonant circuit formed by D8551 in off state and L8554, C8559 prevents an influence of the receive signal by the PA stages. The high impedance of D8631 in off state doesn´t influence the receiver signal. Harmonic Filter The transmitter signal from the antenna switch is channelled through the harmonic filter to the antenna connector J8501.The harmonic filter is formed by inductors L8552, L8553, and capacitors...
Frequency Synthesis Loop frequency response is controlled by opamp feedback components R0712 and C0711. Opamp U0701-3 compares the power control voltage PWR CNTL divided by resistors R0717 to R0719 with the voltage limit setting VLTG LIMIT SET from the D/A converter (U0731-13) and keeps the control voltage constant via Q0711 if the control voltage, reduced by the resistive divider (R0717 to R0719), approaches the voltage of VLTG LIMIT SET (U0731-13).
Frequency Synthesis In order to generate a high voltage to supply the phase detector (charge pump) output stage at pin VCP (U8701-32), a voltage of 13 VDC is being generated by the positive voltage multiplier circuitry (D8701-1-3, C8716, C8717). This voltage multiplier is basically a diode capacitor network driven by two (1.05MHz) 180 degrees out of phase signals (U8701-9 and -10).
Page 61
Frequency Synthesis The output signal of the phase detector is a pulsed DC signal which is routed to the charge pump. The charge pump outputs a current at pin 29 (I OUT of U8701). The loop filter (which consists of R8715-R8717, C8723-C8725, C8727) transforms this current into a voltage that is applied to the varactor diodes D8802, D8803 and alters the output frequency of the VCO.
