Possible Causes
Procedure
Verify oscillator is working, check RF
level at U251-10 per schematic.
Check dc voltages at U251 pin 2
Board and IC
through 6 and 10 per
troubleshooting table
.
Verify steering line voltage is
between ~3V and 10V.
Verify TRB line (from U201-2 to
U251-19) is low in RX mode
Verify RX channel programming is
correct.
Verify oscillator is working, check RF
level at U251-10 per schematic.
Check dc voltages at U251 pins
Board and IC
1,3,4,10,15,16 per
troubleshooting table
.
Verify steering line voltage is
between ~3V and 10V.
Verify TRB line (U201-2 to U251-19)
is high (3V) in TX mode
Verify TX channel programming is
correct.
Check that RF level at U251-12 is at
least -12 to -20 dBm (UHF)
Check that RF level at U201-32 is at
least -12 to -20 dBm (UHF).
Verify steering line voltage is
between ~3V and 10V.
Verify 4.5V dc at U201-28.
Verify 12.1V dc at U201-47
Verify channel programming is cor-
rect.
Corrective Action
Check VCO tank components
connected to U251-5 and 6.
Check for shorts/opens, replace
U251.
Check D251 and associated
components.
Check for shorts, check U201
Board and IC
voltages per
troubleshooting table
, replace
U201 if incorrect.
Re-program if necessary.
Check VCO tank components
connected to U251-15 and 16.
Check for shorts/opens, replace
U251.
Check D261 and associated
components.
Check for shorts, check U201
Board and IC
voltages per
troubleshooting table
, replace
U201 if incorrect.
Re-program if necessary.
If low/missing, check L276,
C276-7, R276.
If correct, check/replace U201.
If incorrect, check R248 and
C241.
Check loop filter components
R243-5 and C243-5.
Check C231-233, etc., for
shorts. If OK check/replace
U201.
Check for 3V 1.05 MHz sq
waves at U201-14 and 15.
Check C218-228, D220-221.
Re-program if necessary.
