5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The following alignment procedure should be
performed if repairs are made that could affect the
factory alignment or if adjustments may have changed
for some other reason.
To perform transceiver alignment, a PC-compat-
ible computer, the programming interface cable, and
PCTune software are required (see Table 1-1). In addi-
tion, to adjust the squelch level, the Radio Interface
Box (RIB) and radio-to-RIB cable are required. The
programming setup is shown in Figure 5-1.
All adjustments are set digitally using the
computer. Therefore, there is no need to disassemble
the transceiver to access adjustment points. In addi-
tion, audio test signals are generated internally, so an
audio generator is not required. The required test
equipment is shown in Figure 5-1.
