Interface Fault Finding
This section covers the diagnosis of faults involving signals output from or

input to the radio's internal circuitry via the control-head, internal options,
power, or auxiliary connectors. For most inputs and outputs, filtering or
basic processing is applied between the internal circuitry and the connectors.
The signals at the internal circuitry and those at the connectors are

Connector Signals
distinguished as internal signals and connector signals respectively. On the
circuit diagram for the internal circuitry, dashed lines enclose connector
signals. Internal signals are all named signals outside these enclosures. In
