1.2.2 Transceiver Model TiL-91-DE P/N 901006-2 (continued) To improve the rejection of interfering signals, dual conversion receiver technology has been incorporated on the Transmitter/Receiver (Module A1) board used in Model 91-DE Transceiver. The second IF is 455kHz using a ceramic filter, which is immune to high energy ringing. The dual conversion module also has a second local oscillator, second mixer and ceramic filter.
Transmission will occur on the channel frequency displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Frequency is determined by keypad entry of the operating frequency or by recalling a stored channel. RECEIVE MODE - When the PTT switch on the microphone is released, the transceiver operates in the receive mode.
RECORD OPERATION - An independent 600 ohm audio output provides combined transmit and receive audio signals for recording of communication. An Internal jumper can be set to provide a floating output or ground referenced output. 1.3.4 AC/DC and Battery Operation The unit can be operated by external 120 VAC, external 28 VDC, or internal battery power.

SECTION 2 PREPARATION FOR USE AND STORAGE INTRODUCTION This section provides the information required for custom configuration of the system, removal and replacement of batteries, and storage. Custom system configuration includes customizing channel frequencies and remote control set up. Channels 0 to 9 can be configured for fixed frequency operation including transmit inhibit on preselected channels.

BATTERY INSTALLATION & REMOVAL 2.2.1 Battery Removal Remove Cover Assembly as described in paragraph 2.1.1. Refer to Figure 2-2 for location of items indicated below. Disconnect (+) and (-) Terminal lugs (12) on Battery (13). Disconnect 3 Ribbon Cable Connectors (9) on Control Board (8). Disconnect External DC cable connection (10) on Control Board.
Page 16
Loop RF Cable (item 19) between Linear Amplifier (21) and Control Board Bracket. Reconnect to Transceiver. Secure D-type Connector (15) to rear of chassis with 2 screws, 2 lock washers, and 2 nuts (13). NOTE Screws are difficult to position in unit. Tilt entire unit and hold screws in position with tweezers or small needle nose pliers.
FIXED CHANNEL FREQUENCY SET UP The following procedure fixes preselected channel frequencies and inhibits transmit on receive only channels. After completion of this procedure the operator will be able select stored channels only for receive or transmit. Keypad entry of frequencies is disabled. 2.3.1 System Configuration Configure channel frequencies as desired (Refer to Section 3.4.5).
Position Transceiver Cover (3) on Chassis (4). Ensure that cover holes are aligned with threaded inserts. Position 12 flathead screws (1) and 3 Panhead screws (2) through cover (3) holes into chassis (4) threaded inserts. Tighten screws with fingers. Tighten screws securing Transceiver Cover (3) to Chassis (4). 2.3.4 Transceiver Replacement Position Transceiver (20) in Case Assembly.
REMOTE OPERATION SET UP The Procedures listed below enable the user to custom configure the unit for external remote control hardware. Refer to Table 2-1 for connector pin details on Remote Control D Connector located at rear of Case Assembly and Table 2-2 for Jumper Functions. The Record audio output and Remote audio line level is factory set for -8 dBm.
2.5.2 Headset Headset impedance should be 150 to 600 ohms. The headset cable must terminate in a 1/4 in. 3-pole telephone plug (male), to mate with the SPEAKER/PHONE jack located on the front panel of the transceiver. The internal loudspeaker is automatically disconnected. Connect the headset as indicated below for receiver audio with or without transmit audio.
SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION This section includes a functional description of each switch, control, indicator and connector located on the front and rear panels of the portable transceiver, including the PRESS-TO-TALK switch located on the microphone. Operating instructions for transmit/receive and the special functions are also included.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.3.1 Preparation for Use To prepare the transceiver for use (Refer to Figures 1-2, 3-1 and Table 3-1). Location for Transmit/Receive Operation. The VHF frequency band is essentially line of site communication. When selecting a location there should be no obstacles between the communicating radio sites. Objects greater than two metres will reflect The RF signal and foliage greatly attenuates signal strength.
Select AC Power, External DC Power, or Battery Operation. Refer to Paragraphs 3.5 to 3.7). Remove the microphone from front access panel, and ensure that the microphone connector is connected to the MIC/PTT connector of the transceiver. Set the SQUELCH control in the fully counter-clockwise (CCW) position. Set the VOLUME control in the 12 o'clock centre position.
Hold the microphone in one hand, with the upper edge of the microphone as close as Possible to the upper lip. NOTE This technique activates the noise cancelling feature of the microphone. The microphone is most effective when sound is ½ inch (12.7 mm) or more away from the microphone.
Recommended procedure: The squelch taper on a dual conversion receiver looks as follows: Squelch knob position Squelch setting 12 o’clock 0.5uV 3 o’clock 1.2uV 3:30 position 2.5uV 4 o’clock Fully clockwise It is recommended that the squelch be set to at least 2.5uV (3:30 knob position) at busy airport locations.
FRONT PANEL KEYPAD OPERATION All frequencies within the range of 117.975 MHz to 138.000 MHz can be stored on channels 0 to 9 in 25 KHz steps.
