The sensitivity parameters can be adjusted from
the computer by utilizing the Alignment Software.

r With the transceiver set to the band center fre-
quency channel, and with the RF signal genera-
tor tuned to the same frequency, set the genera-
tor for ±3.0 kHz deviation (for 25 kHz steps) with
1 kHz tone modulation, and set the output level
for 1µV at the antenna jack.
r Adjust (by control commands from the computer)
the receiver front-end tuning for optimum
SINAD, reducing signal generator output level
as necessary for proper meter deflection.
r After the previous step, the final signal genera-
tor level should be less than –8 dBµ (for wide) or
-6 dBµ (for narrow) for 12dB SINAD.

Squelch Threshold
The squelch parameters can also be adjusted from
the computer by utilizing the Alignment Software.
Refer to the onboard help of the Alignment Software
Manual for details.
r Select the band center frequency channel, and
with the RF signal generator turned to the same
frequency, set the generator for ±3.0 kHz devia-
tion with 1 kHz tone modulation, and set the out-
put level for –6 dBµ (for wide) or -4 dBµ (for nar-
row) at the antenna jack.
r Adjust the squelch threshold level (by control
commands from the computer) such that the
squelch just closes at this signal input level (the
BUSY LED will turn off).
