If DC is measured on pin 4 and 11 of mixer IC9, unsolder and lift
one side of resistor R35
pins, replace IC2.
If the voltage is only on the collector of V9 and R35 is lifted,
apply a short circuit between pin 5 of IC301
[
04-02907 sheet 2]. If th
replace modulator IC301. If the voltage remains on the collector
with pin 5 shorted, replace V9 (collector/emitter leakage).
Check the supply voltages are correct as detailed in Section 5.3.2.
Apply an audio signal of about 1 kHz at a level of 10 mV RMS to the
microphone input. Select transmit mode (PTT) and with the aid of an
oscilloscope trace the audio, IF and RF signals through the transmit
path. Check the measured levels correspond approximately to the
levels shown on the circuit diagrams. A reduction of signal or complete
failure at any of the check points should indicate the approximate
location of the fault.

illumination of H1 and/or H2 on the Rx/Exciter & Control PCB.
Check the 18 V supply is present and connected to:
•
oscillator VCO1
•
control amplifier V6
If VCO2 has failed, check it is present at the control amplifier
IC12/A .

Check VCO1 and VCO2 are oscillating. Check that the outputs at
TP4 (VCO1) and TP1
[E4]
on the circuit diagram. Frequency should be within the range indicated.
Check the output levels at pin 3 of the prescalers IC4
Check the frequency is approximately the VCO frequency divided by
64.
Check the VCO control voltages on TP3
limits indicated on the circuit diagram.
