PA Bias 2 Alignment
NOTE: This alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the transceiver board. This alignment
is not required for UHF range 2 because for UHF range 2 PA Bias 2 is a fixed value.
The PA Bias 2 alignment procedure adjusts the drain bias current in one of the RF power amplifier
devices.
NOTE: The antenna port should be terminated with a 50-ohm load while tuning.
1. Set the power supply voltage as indicated in
Band/Power Level
VHF 50 W/25 W
VHF 100 W
UHF R1 40 W
UHF R1 100 W
UHF R2 45 W
700–800 MHz 35 W
2. Select PA Bias 2 from the Tuner Main Menu. When the screen is displayed, the radio enters
a special bias tune mode, and radio current increases by approximately 100 mA.
