Pull the locking handle down, then pry up the top cover at the front notch and lift off the cover. To service the Receiver from the bottom: Pull the locking handle down and pull the radio out of the mounting frame. NOTE...
LBI-38505 To remove the IF Filter board from the radio: Remove the eight screws (E) holding the IF Filter bottom cover. Remove the six screws (F) holding the IF Filter top cover. Remove the three screws (G) and the Connector (H), and carefully push down on the top of the board to avoid damaging the feedthrough capacitors.
LBI-38505 FRONT END ALIGNMENT EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Test Set Models 4EX3A11, 4EX8K12, or 20,000 ohms-per-Volt multimeter with a 1 Volt scale. A 406-512 MHz signal source. PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS Connect black plug from Test Set to Receiver Centralized Metering Jack J601, and red plug to system board metering jack J905. Set meter sensitivity switch to the TEST 1 position (or 1-Volt position on 4EX8K12).
VTVM at P904-3 or J601-2 on the IFAS board) is inadequate for oscillator frequency setting. If the radio is at an ambient temperature of 26.5°C (79.8°F), set the oscillator for the correct mixer frequency (ICOM FREQ. X 9).
The mixer and IF circuits have been aligned at the factory and will normally require no further adjustment. If adjustment is necessary, use the procedure out- lined in STEP 13. Refer to DATAFILE BULLETIN 1000-6 (IF Alignment of Two-Way Radio FM Receivers) for helpful suggestions on how to determine when IF Alignment is required.
LBI-38505 Once the defective stage is pin-pointed, refer to the "Service TEST PROCEDURES Check" listed to correct the problem. Additional corrective meas- ures are included in the Troubleshooting Procedure. Before These Test Procedures are designed to help you to service a starting with the Receiver Test Procedures, be sure the receiver receiver that is operating---but not properly.
LBI-38505 TEST PROCEDURES TEST PROCEDURES STEP 2 USABLE SENSITIVITY (12 dB SINAD) If STEP 1 checks out properly, measure the receiver sensitivity as follows: Apply a 1000 microvolt, on frequency signal modulated by 1000 Hz with 3.0 kHz deviation to A301-J1. With Function Switch on Distortion Analyzer set to VOLTMETER position, adjust volume control for 1.0 Watt (2.83 VRMS across 8 ohm load).
