GM1200E Tuning Procedure GM1200E Tuning Procedure General The recommended hardware platform is a 386 or 486 DX 33 PC (personal computer) with 8 Mbytes RAM, MS DOS 5.0™, Windows 3.1™, and DPS (Dealer Programming Software). These are required to align the radio. Refer to your DPS Installation Manual for installation and setup procedures for the required software;...
GM1200E Tuning Procedure The Service windows introduce the concept of the “Softpot”, an analog SOFTware controlled POTentiometer used for adjusting all transceiver alignment controls. A softpot can be selected by clicking with the mouse at the value or the slider or by hitting the TAB key until the value or the slider is highlighted.
GM1200E Tuning Procedure Table 4-1 Quiescent Current Alignment RF-Band Target 440mA±10% VHF / 300-390MHz 150mA±15% Battery Threshold The radio uses 2 battery threshold levels Tx High and Tx Low to determine the battery condition. The Program buttons must only be activated when the power supply is set to the indicated voltage. If...
GM1200E Tuning Procedure From the Service menu, select Transmitter Alignment. Select RF Power Tuning to open the RF power tuning window. The window will indicate the transmit test frequencies to be used. Select Point 1 value of the first frequency.
GM1200E Tuning Procedure Select the first test frequency shown, and set the corresponding value to the start value shown in table 4-4. Set the RF test generator to the receive test frequency, and set the RF level to 10µV modulated with a 1 kHz tone at the normal test deviation shown in table 4-3.
GM1200E Tuning Procedure Squelch The squelch softpots set the signal to noise ratio at which the squelch opens. The squelch value needs to be set at 7 frequencies across the frequency range. Set the test box (GTF180) meter selection switch to the "Audio PA" position and connect a SINAD meter to the "METER"...
GM1200E Tuning Procedure Change the input tone to 3 kHz, 200 mVrms. Adjust the deviation to within ±2% of the value recorded in step 6. Check the deviation at 80 Hz again and repeat step 7-8, if it has changed since step 6.

Non Prescribed Data (NPD) Calls Non Prescribed Data calls utilising external Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) can be made using the GM1200E Databox radio as the carrier. Call protocol is by a combination of control line handshakes, the complexity of which depends on the intelligence of the DTE.
Other Calls Calls Initiated by another Radio Unit (Incoming Calls) Incoming calls will be indicated by a signal on the CTS. The call will be “answered” by the DTE signalling on ‘Call 3’ (i.e.Call 1 and Call 2 lines both enabled).
