224 Frequency Synthesizer Fault Finding
If there is no fault with the power supplies, the PLL inputs and output, and
the loop filter, check the VCO and related circuitry. The procedures in this
section apply only to VHF radios; the VHF frequency bands are defined in
Table 9.5. There are six aspects:
Task 28: check VCO
■
Task 29: repair PLL feedback
■
Task 30: repair VCO
■
Task 31: check transmit-receive switch
■
Task 32: repair switching network
■
Task 33: check buffer amplifier.
■
The measurement points for diagnosing faults in the VCO and related
circuitry are summarized in
