LBI-39175 A 9 TRACKING DATA The radio p ersonality contains certain information bytes know n as Tracking Data, which allow the radio computer to calibrate transmitter power, modulation deviation, and squelch threshold . Normally , no adjustments need be m ade to the radio to maintain specified lim its for the abov e parameters, sin ce the radio com[...]

L BI-39175A 10 SETTING TRACKING DATA Normally , Tracking Data is set at the factor y , and need no t be re-loaded. Ho wever, the f ollowing repair situatio ns require re-loading some or all of the Tracking Data: SITUATION NEW TRACKING DATA Replace PA module RF Power, Squelch (Check: Re-load if necessary.) Replace TXRX module RF Power, Modulation De[...]

LBI-39175 A 11 TRANSMITTER ALIGNMENT The Transmitter consists of sy nthesizer, exciter, and pow er am plifier. These have been calibrated at the factory so the radio com puter autom atically adjusts RF pow er and m odulat ion devi ation, bas ed upon Tracking Data. The follow ing adjustm ents can be m ade by EGE PC Programming Software: 1. Mo dulati[...]

L BI-39175A 12 w ire board runs to separate f rom the board. Check for shorts and solder bridges before applying power. Failure to solder the transistor leads as directed may resul t in th e gen eration of RF loops that could dam age th e transistor or m ay cause low pow er outpu t. CAUTION RECEIVER ALIGNMENT Alignment of the Front End and Local In[...]

LBI-39175 A 13 SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT Squelch th reshol d has been set at th e factory to 8 dB SINAD. A djust me nt of the threshol d requires chang ing the Tracking Data. To change th e Squelch Tracking Data, follow the iterative procedure set forth in the "T RACKING DATA" section, except let the de sired squelch threshold level replace the [...]
