PROBLEM SOLVING

The majority of radio system problems are due to the failure of compo-

nents outside of the transceiver—such as a poor or broken feedline or

antenna connection. This section will help you determine whether the

problem is outside or inside the radio; and, if in the radio, how to restore

operation as quickly as possible.

MDS does not recommend component-level repairs in the field. How-

ever, the radio’s major assemblies may be replaced without using tools

or test equipment. Section 8.0, REPLACING ASSEMBLIES, beginning

on Page 82 covers this in detail.

If you are unable to solve a system problem with the information pro-

vided here, technical assistance is also available from the factory. Refer

to the inside back cover of this guide for contact information.

NOTE: Before starting any detailed troubleshooting, check the basic

requirements at both ends of the link: primary power, secure

cable connections, and proper antenna heading. In many cases,

one of these things may be at fault and cause poor operation or

a complete loss of link service.
