TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 The forward channel from the TSC to the radio is divided into timeslots. Each site using the channel is allocated one timeslot in which to transmit and send signalling. Therefore, when on a timeshared channel, the radio may be able to receive bursts of signalling from different sites at different signal strengths and may receive periods when no signalling is received.
TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 INTRODUCTION ENERAL The SRP9170/80 series of FM portable radio transceivers are designed for conventional PMR and Trunked operation in VHF and UHF radio systems. The transceiver is available in four functional variants. The variants are as follows:...
TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 RODUCT ARIANTS ACILITIES Product variants and facilities are detailed in Table 1-1, Table 1-2 and Table 1-3. Table 1-1 Common Features for All Variants Model Feature 9170 / 9170is 9180 / 9180is Keys 7 Function keys. All keys 7 Function keys.
AMING ONVENTION There are various associated items of software (SW) required for the SRP9170/80 radio and programmer to operate. This section simply defines the naming rules of the SW files to allow identification and conformity. This allows different versions of SW to be distributed and co-exist without confusion.
TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 Version Number 1.5.4 This is a 3-digit number allocated by Engineering to identify the SW version: 182 = Version 1.82. Exclusions 1.5.5 The Programmer SW does not follow the above rules, as it is a PC based Program and its version number can be easily identified by starting the SW.

TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 ALIGNMENT (LEVEL 3 SERVICE ONLY) This procedure is applicable to all versions of SRP9170/80 portable transceivers. Caution Preparing the radio for alignment will erase from the radio all customer PMR and Trunking configuration data (channel, signalling information etc). The only data retained by the Alignment Tool is the factory alignment data for the radio (DAC settings for Tx power, front-end tuning etc).
TNM-M-E-0023 SRP9170/80 Service Manual Issue 1.00 Refer Figure 5-1. Notes for test setup: 1. The PTT switch on the Radio Test Interface Unit (refer Figure 5-2) activates transmit on the transceiver. 2. Interface data levels are TTL with RS232 polarity (i.e. 0 V = MARK, + 5 V = SPACE), and will work with most personal computers.
