6.1.5 REPROGRAMMING IF EEPROM IS RE-

PLACED OR ERROR OCCURS

When EEPROM IC3 is replaced or if the trans-

ceiver displays an error message and beeps, the fol-
lowing operation must be performed before making
any adjustments.

1. Using the programming software, read (download)

the data programmed in an exact same version of
the transceiver. Refer to Section 4.4.4 for more
information on reading data.

2. Select the MODEL menu and press the down arrow

(

) key. Type “RESERVE” and press (ENTER).

The “Reserved” indicator should begin flashing in
the upper right corner of the screen.

3. Connect the computer to the transceiver that had the

EEPROM replaced or is displaying the error (see
Figure 4-1). Write the current data to that
transceiver.

6.2 PRELIMINARY SETUP

1. Preprogram the transceiver with test channels as

described in Section 6.1.2.

2. Connect the computer test setup using the test cable

described in Sections 6.1.3 and 6.1.4. Start the
program as described.

3. Connect a DC power supply and a 50-ohm, 50-watt

antenna load to the transceiver (see Section 6.1.1).

PgUp/

PgDn, or spacebar/backspace) to select the channel.

3. Key the transmitter using the switch on the test

cable and the meter reading should be 4.3 volts. If
this voltage is significantly different, adjust L14 (it
may be necessary to remove the VCO shield).

4. Unkey the transmitter and the meter reading in the

receive mode should be 3.3 – 4.3 volts.

5. Select the channel on the low end of the band (Test

Ch. 2 - 146.050 MHz). The meter reading should be
0.9 – 1.9 volt in both the transmit and receive
modes. Replace the bottom cover.
