Section 1—Getting Acquainted
This section provides a general description of the FM600 transmitter and
introduces you to safety conventions used within this document. Review
this material before installing or operating the transmitter.
Getting Acquainted
1-1
1.1 Your Transmitter
The FM600 is a member of a family of FM stereo broadcast transmitters. Crown transmitters
are known for their integration, ease-of-use, and reliability.
The integration is most apparent in the standard transmitter configuration which incorporates
audio processing, stereo generation, and RF amplification without compromised signal quality.
A single Crown transmitter can replace several pieces of equipment in a traditional system.
Ease-of-use is apparent in the user-friendly front panel interface and in the installation
procedure. Simply select your operating frequency (using 5 external switches), add an audio
source, attach an antenna, and connect AC power and you're ready to broadcast. Of course,
the FM series of transmitters also feature more sophisticated inputs and monitoring
connections if needed.
Reliability is a Crown tradition. The first Crown transmitters were designed for rigors of
worldwide and potentially portable use. The modular design, quality components, engineering
approach, and high production standards ensure stable performance.
Remote control and metering of the transmitter are made possible through a built-in I/O connector. For more direct monitoring, the front panel includes a digital multimeter display and
status indicators. Automatic control circuitry provides protection for high VSWR as well as high
current, voltage, and temperature conditions.

FM600 Manual
1.2 Applications and Options
Crown transmitters are designed for versatility in applications. They have been used as
stand-alone and backup transmitters and in booster, translator, satellator, and nearcast
applications. The following discussion describes these applications further.
Model numbers describe the configuration of the product (which has to do with its intended
purpose) and the RF output power which you can expect.
The number portion of each name represents the maximum RF output power. The FM600,
for example, can generate up to 600 watts of RF output power.
Suffix letters describe the configuration. The FM600T, for example, is the standard or
transmitter configuration. Except where specified, this document describes the transmitter
configuration. In this configuration, the product includes the following components

1.2.1 Stand-Alone
In the standard configuration, the FM600 is an ideal stand-alone transmitter. When you add
an audio source (monaural, L/R stereo, or composite signal), an antenna, and AC power,
the transmitter becomes a complete FM stereo broadcast station, capable of serving a
community.
As stand-alone transmitters, Crown units often replace multiple pieces of equipment in a
traditional setup (exciter, audio processor, RF amplifier).
1.2.2 Backup
In the standard configuration, Crown transmitters are also used in backup applications.
Should your primary transmitter become disabled, you can continue to broadcast while
repairs take place. In addition, the FM transmitters can replace disabled portions of your
existing system including the exciter, audio processor, or amplifier. Transfer switches on
each side of the existing and backup transmitters make the change-over possible with
minimal downtime.
1.2.3 Exciter
In addition to the standard configuration, the FM600 is available in optional configurations to
meet a variety of needs.
An "E" suffix, as in the FM600E, for example, represents an exciter-only configuration. In
this configuration, the audio processor and stereo generator boards are replaced with circuitry to bypass their function. The exciter configurations are the least expensive way to get
Crown quality components into your transmission system.
You might consider the Crown exciter when other portions of your system are performing
satisfactorily and you want to maximize your investment in present equipment.

FM600 Users Manual
1.2.4 Translator
A receiver configuration (FM600R, for example) replaces the audio processor/stereo generator
board with a receiver module. This added feature makes the FM600 ideal for translator service
in terrestrial-fed networks. These networks represent a popular and effective way to increase
your broadcasting coverage. Translators, acting as repeater emitters, are necessary links in
this chain of events.
Traditionally, network engineers have relied on multiple steps and multiple pieces of equipment
to accomplish the task. Others have integrated the translator function (receiver and exciter) to
feed an amplifier. Crown, on the other hand, starts with an integrated transmitter and adds a
solid-state Receiver Module to form the ideal translator.

Illustration 1–3 Crown's Integrated Translator
This option enables RF input and RF output on any of Crown’s FM series of transmitters. In
addition, the module supplies a composite output to the RF exciter portion of the transmitter.
From here, the signal is brought to full power by the built-in power amplifier for retransmission.
The Receiver Module has been specifically designed to handle SCA channel output up to 100
kHz for audio and high-speed data.
FSK ID programming is built-in to ensure compliance with FCC regulations regarding the on-air
identification of translators. Simply specify the call sign of the repeater station when ordering.
Should you need to change the location of the translator, replacement FSK chips are available.
The Receiver Module option should be ordered at the time of initial transmitter purchase. However, an option kit is available for field converting existing Crown units.
In the translator configuration there are differences in the function of the front panel. See Section 3 for a description.
Getting Acquainted
1-5
1.2.5 Satellator
One additional option is available for all configurations—an FSK Identifier (FSK IDer). This
added feature enables the FM600 to transmit its call sign or operating frequency in a Morse
code style. This option is intended for use in satellite-fed networks. Transmitters equipped in
this fashion are often known as "satellators."
Connect the transmitter to your satellite receiver and the pre-programmed FSK IDer does the
rest—shifting the frequency to comply with FCC requirements and in a manner that is unnoticeable to the listener. The FSK IDer module should be ordered at the time you order your
transmitter, but is available separately (factory programmed for your installation).

2.5 RF Connections
Connect the RF load, an antenna or the input of an external power amplifier, to the type-N, RF
output connector on the rear panel. VSWR should be 1.5:1 or better.
The RF monitor is intended primarily for a modulation monitor connection. Information gained
through this connection can supplement that which is available on the transmitter front panel
displays.
If your transmitter is equipped with the receiver option, connect the incoming RF to the Receiver IN connector.

2.6 Audio Input Connections
Attach audio inputs to the Left and Right XLR connectors on the rear panel. (The Left channel
audio is used on Mono.) Pin 1 of the XLR connector goes to chassis ground. Pins 2 and 3
represent a balanced differential input with an impedance of about 50 kΩ . They may be
connected to balanced or unbalanced left and right program sources.
The audio input cables should be shielded pairs, whether the source is balanced or unbalanced. For an unbalanced program source, one line (preferably the one connecting to pin 3)
should be grounded to the shield at the source. Audio will then connect to the line going to pin
2.
Audio Inputs
(XLR)
Illustration 2–14 XLR Audio Input Connectors
By bringing the audio return line back to the program source, the balanced differential input of
the transmitter is used to best advantage to minimize noise. This practice is especially helpful
if the program lines are fairly long, but is a good practice for any distance.
If the program source requires a 600 Ω termination, see the motherboard configuration chart
on page 4-9 for the proper configuration of the jumpers.

FM600 User’s Manual
2.7 SCA Input Connections
You can connect external SCA generators to the SCA In connectors (BNC-type) on the rear
panel. The inputs are intended for the 60 kHz to 99 kHz range, but a lower frequency may be
used if the transmitter is operated in Mono mode. (The 23 to 53 kHz band is used for stereo
transmission.) For 7.5 kHz deviation (10% modulation), input of approximately 3.5–volts (peak
-to-peak) is required.
SCA Inputs
Illustration 2–15 SCA Input Connectors
2.8 Composite Input Connection
You may feed composite stereo (or mono audio) directly to the RF exciter bypassing the internal audio processor and stereo generator. To use the Crown transmitter as an RF Exciter only
("E" version or when using the "T" version with composite input), it is necessary to use the
Composite Input section of the transmitter. This will feed composite stereo (or mono audio)
directly to the RF exciter. In the "T" version, this will bypass the internal audio processor and
stereo generator.
Input sensitivity is approximately 3.5–volt P-P for 75 kHz deviation.
1.
Enable the Composite Input by grounding pin 14 of the Remote I/O connector
(see Illustration 2–18).
2.
Connect the composite signal using the Composite In BNC connector.

2.9 Audio Monitor Connections
Processed, de-emphasized samples of the left and right audio inputs to the stereo generator
are available at the Monitor jacks on the rear panel. The signals are suitable for feeding a studio monitor and for doing audio testing. De-emphasis is normally set for 75 µsec; set to 50
µsec by moving jumpers, HD201 and HD202, on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator board.
2.10 Pre-emphasis Selection
Select the pre-emphasis curve (75 µsec, 50 µsec, 25 µsec, or Flat) by jumpering the appropriate pins of header HD1 on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator board. If you change the
pre-emphasis, change the de-emphasis jumpers HD201 and HD202 on the Audio Processor/
Stereo Generator board to match.

2.11 Program Input Fault Time-out
You can enable an automatic turn-off of the carrier in the event of program failure. To enable
this option, see remote I/O connector pin out chart on page 2-16. The time between program
failure and carrier turn-off is set by a jumper (JP1) on the Driver Switch Logic board. (See
page 6–3 for board location.) Jumper pins 1 and 2 (the two pins closest to the edge of the
board) for a delay of approximately 30 seconds; pins 3 and 4 for a 2 minute delay; pins 5 and 6
for a 4 minute delay, and pins 7 and 8 for an 8 minute delay. Placing a jumper on pins 9 and
10 will disable the time-out timer.
2.12 Remote I/O Connector
Remote control and remote metering of the transmitter is made possible through a 25 pin, Dsub connector on the rear panel. (No connections are required for normal operation.)

5. Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Stereo (see section 3.6).
6. Turn on the Carrier switch.
7. Check the following parameters on the front panel multimeter:
A. RF Output power should be set for 600 watts
B. SWR should be less than 1.1. (A reading greater than 1.25 indicates an antenna
mis
match.
C. ALC should be between 4.00 and 6.00 volts.
D. PA DC volts should be 46 to 56 volts. (Varies with antenna match, power and
frequency.)
E. PA DC Amperes should be 12-16 amps. (Varies with antenna match, power, and
frequency.)
F. PA Temperature should initially read 20–35 degrees C (room temperature). After
one hour the reading should be 40–60 degrees C.
G. Driver Supply voltage should be about 24 volts.
H. Voltmeter should be reading 0.0.
The remainder of this section describes the functions of the front panel indicators
and switches.

3.2 Power Switches
3.2.1 Power Switch
The main on/off power switch controls both the high voltage and low voltage internal power
supplies.
3.2.2 Carrier Switch
This switch controls power to the RF amplifiers and supplies a logic high to the Driver Switch
Logic board, which enables the power supply for the RF driver.
A "Lock Fault" or a low pin 17 (/Carrier Off) on the Remote I/O connector will hold the carrier
off. (See section 2.12.)

3.3 Front Panel Bar-Dot Displays
Bar-dot LEDs show audio input levels, wideband and highband audio gain control, and modulation percentage. Resolution for the gain control and modulation displays is increased over a
conventional bar-graph display using dither enhancement which modulates the brightness of
the LED to give the effect of a fade from dot to dot. (See section 4.7.)
3.3.1 Audio Processor Input
Two vertical, moving-dot displays for the left and right channels indicate the relative audio levels, in 3 dB steps, at the input of the audio processor. Under normal operating conditions, the
left and right Audio Processor indicators will be active, indicating the relative audio input level
after the Input Gain switches. During program pauses, the red Low LED will light.
The translator configuration shows relative audio levels from the included receiver.
3.3.2 Highband and Wideband Display
During audio processing, the moving-dot displays indicate the amount of gain control for broadband (Wide) and pre-emphasized (High) audio.
As long as program material causes activity of the Wideband green indicators, determined by
the program source level and Input Gain switches, the transmitter will be fully modulated. (See
section 3.4.)
The Wideband indicator shows short-term “syllabic-rate” expansion and gain reduction around
a long-term (several seconds) average gain set. In the translator configuration, the Wideband
indicator also shows relative RF signal strength.
Program material and the setting of the Processing control determine the magnitude of the
short-term expansion and compression (the rapid left and right movement of the green light).
High-frequency program content affects the activity of the Highband indicator. With 75–µsec
pre-emphasis, Highband processing begins at about 2 kHz and increases as the audio frequency increases. Some programs, especially speech, may show no activity while some music programs may show a great deal of activity.
3.3.3 Modulation Display
A 10–segment, vertical peak-and-hold, bar graph displays the peak modulation percentage. A
reading of “100” coincides with 75 kHz deviation. The display holds briefly (about 0.1 seconds)
after the peak. The “Pilot” indicator illuminates when the transmitter is in the stereo mode.
To verify the actual (or more precise) modulation percentage, connect a certified modulation
monitor to the RF monitor jack on the rear panel.

Find, experimentally, the combination of Input Gain switch settings that will bring the Wideband
gain-reduction indicator to mid scale for “normal” level program material. The audio processor
will accommodate a fairly wide range of input levels with no degradation of audio quality.
3.5 Processing Control
Two factors contribute to the setting of the Processing control: program material and personal
taste. For most program material, a setting in the range of 40 to 70 provides good program
density. For the classical music purist, who might prefer preservation of music dynamics over
density, 10 to 40 is a good range. The audio will be heavily processed in the 70 to 100 range.
If the program source is already well processed, as might be the case with a satellite feed, set
the Processing to “0” or “10”.
3.6 Stereo-Mono Switch
The Stereo-Mono slide switch selects the transmission mode. In Mono, feed audio only to the
left channel. Although right-channel audio will not be heard as audio modulation, it will affect
the audio processing.

FM600 User’s Manual
3.7 RF Output Control
Set this control for the desired output power level. Preferably, set the power with an external
RF wattmeter connected in the coaxial line to the antenna. You may also use the RF power
reading on the digital multimeter.
The control sets the RF output voltage. Actual RF output power varies as the approximate
square of the relative setting of the control. For example, a setting of “50” is approximately 1/4
full power.
3.8 Digital Multimeter
The four-digit numeric display in the center of the front panel provides information on transmitter operation. Use the “Up” and “down” push-buttons to select one of the following parameters.
A green LED indicates the one selected.
Multimeter

Illustration 3–5 Digital Multimeter
RF Power—Actually reads RF voltage squared, so the accuracy can be affected by VSWR (RF
voltage-to-current ratio). See section 5.4 for calibration. Requires calibration with the RF reflectometer being used.
SWR—Direct reading of the antenna standing-wave ratio (the ratio of the desired load impedance, 50 ohms, to actual load).
ALC—DC gain control bias used to regulate PA supply voltage. With the PA power supply at
full output voltage, ALC will read about 6.0 volts. When the RF output is being regulated by the
RF power control circuit, this voltage will be reduced, typically reading 4 to 5.5 volts. The ALC
voltage will be reduced during PA DC overcurrent, SWR, or LOCK fault conditions.
Operation
3-7
PA DC Volts—Supply voltage of the RF power amplifier.
PA DC Amps—Transistor drain current for the RF power amplifier.
PA Temperature—Temperature of the RF power amplifier heatsink in degrees C.
Driver Supply Volts—Regulated 24 volt DC supply for the RF driver amplifier.
Voltmeter—Reads the voltage at a test point located on the front edge of the motherboard. A
test lead connected to this point can be used for making voltage measurements in the transmitter. The test point is intended as a servicing aid; an alternative to an external test meter. Remember that the accuracy is only as good as the reference voltage used by the metering circuit. Servicing a fault affected by the reference affects the Voltmeter reading. The metering
scale is 0 to 199.9 volts.
In the translator configuration, you can read a relative indication of RF signal strength numerically in the Voltmeter setting.
3.9 Fault Indicators
Faults are indicated by a blinking red light as follows:
SWR—Load VSWR exceeds 1.5:1. ALC voltage is reduced to limit the reflected RF power.
Lock—Frequency synthesizer phase-lock loop is unlocked. This indicator normally blinks for
about five seconds at power turn-on. Whenever this light is blinking, supply voltages will be
inhibited for the RF driver stage as well as for the RF power amplifier.
Input—The automatic carrier-off circuit is enabled (see sections 2.11 and 2.12) and the absence of a program input signal has exceeded the preset time. (The circuit treats white or pink
noise as an absence of a program.)
PA DC—Power supply current for the RF power output amplifier is at the preset limit. ALC
voltage has been reduced, reducing the PA supply voltage to hold supply current to the preset
limit.
PA Temp—PA heatsink temperature has reached 93° C (199° F).
At about 97°C (207° F), ALC voltage begins to decrease, reducing the PA supply voltage to
prevent a further increase in temperature. By 105° C (221° F) the PA will be at the minimum
output level, of approximately 190 Watts.

4.1 Part Numbering
As this section refers to individual components, you should be familiar with the part numbering
scheme used.
The circuit boards and component placement drawings use designators such as “R1”, “R2”,
and “C1.” These same designators are used throughout the transmitter on several different
circuit boards and component placement drawings. When referencing a particular component
it is necessary to also reference the circuit board that it is associated with.

The audio board provides the control functions of audio processing-compression, limiting, and
expansion, as well as stereo phase-error detection, pre-emphasis and generation of the composite stereo signal.
Illustration 6-4 and accompanying schematic may be useful to you during this discussion. The
overall schematic for the audio board is divided into two sheets; one each for the processor
and stereo generator sections of the board.
Reference numbers are for the left channel. Where there is a right-channel counterpart, reference number are in parenthesis.
Illustration 4–2 Audio Processor/Stereo Generator Board
4.2.1 Audio Processor Section
Audio input from the XLR connector on the rear panel of the transmitter goes to instrument amplifier, U2 (U8). Two-bit binary data on the +6 dB and +12 dB control lines sets the gain of U2
(U8) to one of four levels in 6-dB steps. Gain of U2 is determined by R5, R6, or R7 (R45, R46,
or R47) as selected by analog switch U1.
U3 (U9) is a THAT2180 voltage-controlled amplifier with a control-voltage-to-gain constant of
6.1 mV/dB. The 2180 is a current-in/current-out device, so signal voltages at the input and output will be zero. R11 converts the audio voltage at the output of U2 (U8) to current at the input
of U3 (U9). U3 (U9) output current is converted to audio voltage by U4A (U10A).
U4B (U10B) is a unity-gain inverter. When the positive peaks at the output of U4A (U10A) or
U4B (U10B) exceeds the gain-reduction threshold, U15 generates a 0.25 Volts-per-dB DC control bias, producing wide-band gain reduction for U3 (U9). The dB-linear allows a front-panel
display of gain control on a linear scale with even distribution of dB.
Principles of Operation
4-3
Q1 (Q2) is a recover/expansion gate with a threshold about 18 dB below the normal program
level. The amount of short-term expansion and time for gain recovery is controlled by the
PROCESSING control, located on the front panel display board. (See section 3.5.)
Audio components above 15,200 Hz are greatly attenuated by eighth-order switched-capacitor
elliptical filter, U5 (U11). The filter cut-off frequency is determined by a 1.52-MHz clock (100 x
15,200 Hz) signal from the stereo generator section of the board. The broadband signal level
at the output of U5 (U11) is about 5 dB below that required for full modulation. (With normal
program material, the 5 dB of headroom will be filled with pre-emphasized audio.)
Pre-emphasis in microseconds is the product of the capacitance of C7 (C17), multiplied by the
current-gain of U6 (U12), times the value of R22 (R62). (For description of the device used for
U6 (12), see explanation for U3 (U9) above.) For a 75 micro-seconds pre-emphasis, the gain
of U6 (U12) will be about 1.11.
Selection of the pre-emphasis curve (75 μS, 50 μS, or Flat) is made by moving the jumper on
HD1 to the pins designated on the board. Fine adjustment of the pre-emphasis is made with
R23 (R63). (See section 5.1.)
For high-band processing, the peak output of U7A (U13A) and U7B (U13B) is detected and
gain-reduction bias is generated, as with the broadband processor. The high-band processing,
however, shifts the pre-emphasis curve rather than affecting overall gain. Peak audio voltages
are compared to plus and minus 5-volt reference voltages at the outputs of U19A and U19B.
This same reference voltage is used in the stereo generator section.
A stereo phasing error occurs when left and right inputs are of equal amplitude but opposite
polarity. The most common cause is incorrect wiring of a left or right balanced audio line
somewhere in the program chain-sometimes at the source of a recording. When this happens,
all the audio is in the left-minus-right stereo subcarrier-none in the left-plus-right baseband.
The error can go unnoticed by one listening on a stereo receiver, but the audio may disappear
on a mono receiver. In normal programming there may be short-term polarity reversals of left
versus right, either incidental or-for effect-intentional. A phase error of several seconds duration is processed by U14A and U14B and interpreted as a real error. During a phasing error
the right-channel level is gradually reduced by 6 dB. For a listener to a stereo radio, the rightchannel volume will be lower, while on a mono receiver there will be a reduction of volume.
NORMAL/TEST switch. In the TEST position, the stage gains are set to a fixed level. See section 6.2
4.2.2 Stereo Generator Section
Composite stereo signal is generated from left and right-channel audio inputs. This section
also has the amplifier (U201) for an optional external composite input and provision for insertion of SCA signal(s).
4-4
FM600 User’s Manual
Processed, pre-emphasized left and right audio is passed through third-order lowpass filters
comprised of U202A (203A) and associated circuitry. The filters decrease the level of audio
products below 30 Hz. This low-frequency roll off is necessary to prevent disturbance to the
phase-lock loop in the RF frequency synthesizer by extremely low-frequency audio components. (See caution at section 2.8.)
U204 is a precision, four-quadrant, analog multiplier. The output of U204 is the product of 38
kHz applied to the Y input and the difference of left and right audio (L-R signal) applied to the X
input. The resulting output is a double sideband, suppressed carrier/the L-R subcarrier.
Spectral purity of the stereo subcarrier is dependant on a pure 38-kHz sine wave at the multiplier input.
U207A and Y201 comprise a 7.6-MHz crystal oscillator from which the 19 and 38-kHz subcarriers are digitally synthesized. U207F is a buffer. The 7.6 MHz is divided by 5 in U208A to provide 1.52 Mhz, used by switched-capacitor filters U5 and U11 in the audio section. 3.8 MHz,
1.9 MHz, and 304 kHz are also derived from dividers in U208. Exclusive-OR gates, U210C
and U210D, provide a stepped approximation of a 38-kHz sine wave. With the resistor ratios
used, the synthesized sine wave has very little harmonic energy below the 7th harmonic.
U210A and B generate the 19-kHz pilot subcarrier. U211 is a dual switched-capacitor filter,
configured as second-order, low-pass filters, each one with a Q of 5. The 38 and 19-kHz outputs of pins 1 and 20, respectively, are fairly pure sine waves. Harmonic distortion products
are better than 66 dB down-with a THD of less than 0.05%. SEPARATION control R244 sets
the 38-kHz level at the Y input of U204.
Resistor matrix R219, R220, R221, and R223 sum the L+R audio with the L-R subcarrier to
produce a current at the junction of R221 and R223 that will be converted to composite stereo
(less pilot) at the output of summing amplifier U206A. SCA signal is also injected at the input of
U206A. 19-kHz pilot is combined with composite stereo in summing amplifier U206B.
Analog switch U205, at the input of U206A, provides switching of left and right audio for stereo
and mono modes. In the mono mode, right channel audio is disabled, and the left channel audio is increased from 45% modulation to 100%.
MON L and MON R outputs go to the AF Monitor jacks on the rear panel. R209+R210
(R214+R215) and C207 (C210) is a de-emphasis network. Processed, de-emphasized samples of the left and right audio are used for a studio monitor and for audio testing. Jumpers at
HD201 (HD202) allow selection of 50-μsec or 75-μsec de-emphasis.
VR212A and B supply +7 volts and -7 volts, respectively. A 5-volt reference from the audio
processor section supplies the subcarrier generators.
For an explanation of on-board adjustments see section 5.2.

4.3 RF Exciter Circuit
This circuit is also known as the Frequency Synthesizer. The Frequency Synthesizer part of
the motherboard is no longer a separate module as was the case on older transmitters. The
entire component side of the motherboard is a ground plane. Frequency selector switches
located on the front panel of the transmitter establish the operating frequency. The VCO
(voltage-controlled oscillator) circuitry is inside an aluminum case.
Illustration 6-6 and accompanying schematics can be used as reference in this
discussion.
VCO1 operates at the synthesizer output frequency of 87 MHz to 108 MHz.
The frequency is controlled by a voltage applied to pin 8 of the VCO. A sample of the RF
comes from A2 and is fed to the PLL chip U13. U13 is a phase-locked-loop frequency synthesizer IC. The 10.24 MHz from the crystal oscillator is divided to 10 kHz. Internal programmable dividers divide the 87 - 108 MHz RF to 10 kHz. Differences between the two signals produce error signals at pins 7 and 8 of U14.
Exciter Circuits
Illustration 4–3 Motherboard (Exciter Circuits)
Frequency selector switches are read by shift registers U17 and U18. Data from the shift registers is read by U16 which then programs the PLL (Phase Lock Loop) IC U13.
U14B is a differential amplifier and filter for the error signal. Audio that is out of phase with that
appearing on the error voltage is introduced by U14A, allowing for greater loop bandwidth with
less degradation of the low frequency audio response.
Lock and unlock status signals are available at the outputs of U15E and U15F respectively.
Modulation is introduced to the VCO though R72 and R122.

FM600 User’s Manual
4.4 Metering Circuit
The ALC and metering circuitry is on the motherboard (see Illustration 6–6). This circuit processes information for the RF and DC metering, and produces ALC (RF level-control) bias. It
also provides reference and input voltages for the digital panel meter, voltages for remote metering, and drive for the front-panel fault indicators.
Illustration 6–6 and accompanying schematics complement this discussion.
PA voltage and current come from a metering shunt on the Driver Switch Logic board. The
PAI input is a current proportional to PA current; R153 converts the current to voltage used for
metering and control. A voltage divider from the PAV line is used for DC voltage metering.
Metering Circuits
Illustration 4–4 Motherboard (Metering Circuits)
U23A, U23B, and U24A, with their respective diodes, are diode linearity correction circuits.
Their DC inputs come from diode detectors in the RF reflectometer in the RF low-pass filter
compartment.
U24B, U24C, are components of a DC squaring circuit. Since the DC output voltage of U24C is
proportional to RF voltage squared, it is also proportional to RF power.
U22C, U22A, U20A, and U22D are level sensors for RF power, reflected RF power, PA temperature, and external PA current, respectively. When either of these parameters exceeds the
limits, the output of U22B will be forced low, reducing the ALC (RF level control) voltage,
which, in turn, reduces the PA supply voltage.
The DC voltage set point for U22A (reflected RF voltage) is one-fifth that of U22C (forward RF
voltage). This ratio corresponds to an SWR of 1.5:1 [(1+.2)/(1– .2)=1.5]. The U25 inverters
drive the front panel fault indicators.

4.5 Motherboard
The motherboard is the large board in the upper chassis interconnecting the audio processor/
stereo generator board or the optional receiver module to the RF exciter and metering circuits.
The motherboard provides the interconnections for this boards, eliminating the need for a wiring harness, and provides input/output filtering. The RF exciter and Metering circuits are an
integral part of the motherboard and are no longer separate boards as in past transmitter designs.
Also contained on the motherboard is the +5.00 volt reference and the composite drive Op
amp and its associated circuitry.
The motherboard has configuration jumpers associated with different options that can be
added at the time of order or at a later time as an upgrade. The motherboard configuration
chart for these jumpers can be found on the following page.

4.6 Display Circuit Board
The front-panel LEDs, the numeric display, the slide switches, and the processing and RF level
controls are mounted on the display circuit board. To access the component side of the board,
remove the front panel by removing 12 screws. The board contains circuits for the digital panel
meter, modulation peak detector, and LED display drivers, as well as indicators and switches
mentioned above.
Illustration 6–9 and accompanying schematic complement this discussion.
Left and right audio from input stages of the audio processor board (just after the Input Gain
attenuator) go to the L VU and R VU input on the display board. Peak rectifiers U1A and U1B
drive the left and right Audio Input displays. The LED driver gives a 3–dB per step display.
The lowest step of the display driver is not used; rather a red LOW indicator lights when audio
is below the level of the second step. Transistors Q1 and Q2 divert current from the LOW
LEDs when any other LED of the display is lit.
Resolution of the linear displays, High Band, Wide Band, and Modulation, has been improved
using dither enhancement. With dither, the brightness of the LED is controlled by proximity of
the input voltage relative to its voltage threshold. The effect is a smooth transition from step to
step as input voltage is changed. U6A, U6B, and associated components comprise the dither
generator. Dither output is a triangular wave.
Composite stereo (or mono) is full-wave detected by diodes D5 and D6, U7, U13, Q3, and Q4
are components of a peak sample-and-hold circuit.
Oscillator, U9F, supplies a low-frequency square wave to the Fault indicators, causing them to
flash on and off.
Digital multimeter inputs are selected with push buttons located to the right of the multimeter
menu. Signals from the push buttons are conditioned by U9A and U9B. U10 is an up/down
counter. Binary input to U11 from U10 selects a green menu indicator light, and lights the appropriate decimal point on the numeric readout. The binary lines also go to analog data selectors on the ALC/ metering board.
Processing control, R50, is part of the audio processor. (See section 4.2.)
The DPM IN and DPM REF lines are analog and reference voltage inputs to digital multimeter
IC U12. They originate from analog data selectors on the ALC/ metering board.

4.7 Driver Switch Logic Circuit Board
The Driver Switch Logic board is mounted on the bottom side of the transmitter chassis with
the two power supplies. The Driver Switch Logic board performs the following five different
functions, program audio detection, audio fail timer, PA current monitor, PSU2 voltage monitor,
and driver switch.
The program audio detection circuit and the audio fail timer is made up of U3,U4, and U5. U3A
and U3B and associated circuitry discriminate between normal program material and white
noise ( such as might be present from a studio transmitter link during program failure) or silence. U3A and surrounding components form a band-pass filter with a Q of 3 tuned to about
5kHz. U3B is a first-order low pass filter. Red (DS3) and green (DS4) LEDs on the board indicate the presence or absence of program determined by the balance of the detected signals
from the two filters. U5 and U4B form a count-down timer. The time between a program fault
and shutdown is selected by jumpering pins on header JP1. For times, see section 5.7. The
times are proportional to the value of R28 ( that is, times can be doubled by doubling the value
of R28). When the timer circuit times out, a red LED (DS2) will illuminate giving a visual indication of the audio fail timers status.
The PA current monitor circuit consists of R45(R51) U6(U7), U8 and associated circuitry.
Note that components listed in parentheses ( ) are used in the PA current monitor for PA2.
Current passing through R45(R51) creates a voltage drop that is measured by the current
monitor U6(U7). U6(U7) has a gain of 5. The output voltage from U6(U7) is delivered to opamp U8A (U8B) which has a gain of 4. The outputs of U8A and U8B are summed together
through R47 and R53. The summed output equals the total currents drawn by both RF power
amplifiers PA1 and PA2. This total current draw is displayed on the front panel as PA DC
Amps.
The PSU2 voltage monitor is used to monitor the status of the high voltage power supply and
determines if it is stable and operational. The PSU2 voltage monitor circuit is made up of R29,
R30, U9A ,U11 and associated circuitry. R29 and R30 create a voltage divider circuit that
scales down the voltage from the high voltage power supply. The scaled down power supply
voltage is fed to comparator U9A. When the high voltage power supply has an output voltage
above 21 volts, the output of comparator U9A goes high. The output of U9A is fed to inverter
U11B which inverters the signal creating a logic low output. This output is fed to NOR gate
U2C in the driver switch circuit. The logic high signal from U9A is also fed to U11A which enables the green LED (DS8) indicating that the voltage from the high voltage power supply is
OK.
The driver switch circuit is the last circuit on the driver switch logic board that determines if the
driver amplifier should be enabled based on the status of the above mentioned circuits. The
driver switch circuit consists of U2C, Q1, Q2 and associated circuitry. Logic gate U2C is a
NOR gate. The inputs to U2C are the outputs of the PSU2 voltage monitor and the audio fail
timer circuits. If the outputs from the PSU2 voltage monitor circuit and the audio fail timer circuit are at a logic low, the resulting output of U2C will be a logic high, enabling transistor Q1
and turning on green LED (DS1) indicating that the driver amplifier should be enabled. When
Q1 is turned on, this will place about –8.8 volts (w/respect to the source of Q2) on the gate of
the P-channel MOSFET Q2. This will cause MOSFET Q2 to conduct, delivering +24 volts to
the driver amplifier, thus enabling the RF output.

Also present on the Driver Switch Logic board are power supply diagnostic LEDs and various
circuit test points.
Several green LEDs give a visual indication that the power supplies are functioning. The LEDs
do not indicate that the voltage is correct for its given power supply, they are just merely an
indication that voltage is present. LED DS7 is the indicator for the +5 volt power supply, DS5
is the indicator for the +12 volt power supply and DS6 is for the –12 volt power supply.

The audio filter output test point voltage should be 0 volts during an audio fault such as during
silence or a loss of program audio. This voltage will be constantly changing while program audio is present. This circuit is only active if the /Auto Carrier line has been pulled low by
grounding pin 5 on the Remote I/O connector on the back of the transmitter.

4.8 RF Driver
The RF Driver module is mounted next to the heat sinks on the bottom of the RF Amplifier/
Combiner sub chassis. The driver amplifies the approximate 20 milliwatts from the frequency
synthesizer to about 20 watts to drive the RF power amplifiers. A CA2832 hybrid, high-gain,
wideband amplifier, operating at about 20 volts, provides about one watt of drive to a single
BLF245 MOSFET amplifier. The BLF245 stage operates from a supply voltage of approximately 24 volts.
The circuit board provides for input/output coupling and for power supply filtering.
Principles of Operation
4-13
4.9 RF Amplifier
The RF power amplifier modules are mounted on a combiner board, heat sink, slide rail assembly which slides into the main chassis at the rear, and is fastened to the back panel with
six screws. RF power, DC power, and control voltages enter the PA assembly through a 72-pin
edge connector that slides into at the front of the chassis.
The amplifier is built around two SD2942, dual power MOSFET’s rated for 50 volts DC and a
maximum power of about 350 watts. When biased for class B, the transistor has a power gain
of 20dB. The RF power amplifier is biased below class B in the transmitter.
Input transformer, T1111, is made up of two printed circuit boards. The four-turn primary board
is separated from the one-turn secondary by a thin dielectric film. R1112-R1117 are for damping. Trim pot R1111 sets the bias.
Output transformer, T1121, has a one-turn primary on top of the circuit board and a two-turn
secondary underneath. Inductors L1121 and L1122 provide power line filtering.
The amplifiers are surrounded by a 50 Ohm impedance, input/output combiner board which
takes 15 watts input and divides it equally to each power amp. Then the output from each amplifier is combined to for a single output.

The RF low-pass filter/reflectometer is located in the right-hand compartment on the top of the
chassis. See Illustration 6–13 and accompanying schematic for more information.
A ninth-order, elliptic, low-pass filter attenuates harmonics generated in the power amplifier.
The capacitors for the filter are circuit board pads.
The reflectometer uses printed circuit board traces for micro-strip transmission lines. Transmission line segments (with an impedance of about 82 ohms) on either side of a 50–ohm conductor provide sample voltages representative of the square root of forward and reverse
power.
DC voltages, representative of forward and reflected power, go through a bulkhead filter board
to the motherboard, then to the metering board, where they are processed for power control
and metering and for SWR metering and protection.

4.12 Receiver Circuit Board Option
This option allows the transmitter to be used as a translator. The receiver board receives terrestrially fed RF signal and converts it to composite audio which is then fed into the exciter
board. Microprocessor controlled phase lock loop technology ensures the received frequency
will not drift, and multiple IF stages ensure high adjacent channel rejection. Refer to Illustrations 4–6, 6–16 and its schematic for the following discussion.
The square shaped metal can located on the left side of the receiver board is the tuner module.
The incoming RF signal enters through the BNC connector (top left corner) and is tuned
through the tuner module. Input attenuation is possible with the jumper labeled “LO” “DX”, on
the top left corner of the receiver board. Very strong signals can be attenuated 20 dB automatically by placing the jumper on the left two pins (“LO” position). An additional 20 dB attenuation is also available with the jumpers in the top left corner of the board. The frequencies
are tuned by setting switches SW1 and SW2 (upper right corner). These two switches are
read upon power up (or by momentarily shorting J7) by the microprocessor (U4). The microprocessor then tunes the tuner module to the selected frequency. The frequency range is 87.9
Mhz at setting “00” to 107.9 Mhz at setting “64”. Other custom ranges are available.
Located in the lower left-hand corner of the Receiver Module is a 3.5mm headphone jack. Demodulated Left and Right audio is present at this jack. A regular pair of 32 ohm stereo headphones, such as the types used with portable audio devices, can be used to monitor the audio
on the receiver module.

4.12 Receiver Circuit Board Option (Continued)
When a stereo signal is present, LED 3 illuminates which indicates that left and right audio is
available. Then the stereo signals go to gain stages and out to the RCA jacks on the back of
the cabinet. These can be used for off-air monitoring of the audio signal. Incoming frequency
can be monitored from the frequency monitor BNC jack on the back. The stereo buffer, stereo
decoder, and gain stages and have no effect on the signal that goes through the transmitter.
The power supply is fairly straight forward. The incoming 12 volt supply goes to a 7809, 9 volt
regulator (VR1) which supplies all 9–volt needs on the board. The 9 volts also supplies a
7805, 5 volt regulator (VR2) which supplies all 5–volt needs on the board. Plus and minus 12
volts from the motherboard is filtered and supplies various needs on the board. Finally there is
a precision reference voltage. Two 2.5 volt reference shunts act very much like a very accurate zener diode to provide a precision 5 volt supply to the metering board.

Section 5—Adjustments and Tests
This section describes procedures for (1) advanced users who may be interested in customizing or optimizing the performance of the transmitter
and (2) service personnel who want to return the transmitter to operational
status following a maintenance procedure.
Adjustments and Tests
5-1
5.1 Audio Processor Adjustments
5.1.1 Pre-Emphasis Selection
Select the pre-emphasis curve (75 µsec, 50 µsec, 25 µsec, or Flat) by jumpering the appropriate pins of header HD1 on the audio processor/stereo generator board. (See section 2.10.) If
you change the pre-emphasis, change the de-emphasis jumpers, HD201 and HD202 on the
audio processor/stereo generator board, to match. (See section 2.10.)
5.1.2 Pre-Emphasis Fine Adjustment
Trim potentiometers, R23 and R63, (for left and right channels, respectively) provide for fine
adjustment of the pre-emphasis. Set the potentiometers to bring the de-emphasized gain at 10
kHz equal to that of 400 Hz. (At the proper setting, 15.0 kHz will be down about 0.7 dB.)
When making these adjustments, it is important that you keep signal levels below the processor gain-control threshold.
A preferred method is to use a precision de-emphasis network in front of the audio input.
Then, use the non-de-emphasized (flat) output from the FM modulation monitor for measurements.
5.2 Stereo Generator Adjustments
5.2.1 Separation
Feed a 400–Hz sine wave into one channel for at least 70% modulation. Observe the classic
single-channel composite stereo waveform at TP1 in the RF Exciter circuit of the Motherboard.
Adjust the Separation control R244 for a straight centerline.
Since proper adjustment of this control coincides with best stereo separation, use an FM monitor to make or confirm the adjustment.
5-2
FM600 User’s Manual
5.2.2 Composite Output
You can make adjustments to the composite output in the following manner:
Using a Modulation Monitor
1. Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.
2. Check that the setting of the Modulation compensation control (see Illustration 2–9) on the
RF Exciter circuit, falls within the range specified for the frequency of operation. (See section 2.3.1.)
3. Feed a sine wave signal of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a level sufficient to put the
wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in the middle of its range.
4. Set the Composite level control to produce 90% modulation as indicated on an FM monitor.
5. Apply pink noise or program material to the audio inputs and confirm, on both Mono and
Stereo, that modulation peaks are between 95% and 100%.
5.2.3 19–kHz Level
Adjust the 19–kHz pilot for 9% modulation as indicated on an FM modulation monitor.
(The composite output should be set first, since it follows the 19–kHz Level control.)
5.2.4 19–kHz Phase
1. Apply a 400–Hz audio signal to the left channel for at least 70% modulation.
2. Look at the composite stereo signal at TP301 on the RF Exciter circuit board with an oscilloscope, expanding the display to view the 19–kHz component on the horizontal centerline.
3. Switch the audio to the right-channel input. When the 19–kHz Phase is properly adjusted,
the amplitude of the 19–kHz will remain constant when switching between left and right.
4. Recheck the separation adjustment as described in section 5.2.1.
5.3 Frequency Synthesizer Adjustments
5.3.1 Frequency (Channel) Selection
Refer to section 2.3.
Adjustments and Tests
5-3
5.3.2 Modulation Compensator
Refer to section 2.3.1
5.3.3 Frequency Measurement and Adjustment
Next to the 10.24–MHz VCXO in the RF Exciter circuit on the motherboard is a 50K potentiometer (R101). Use R101 to set the frequency of the 10.24–MHz VCXO while observing the
output frequency of the synthesizer.
Use one of two methods for checking frequency:
1. Use an FM frequency monitor.
2. Couple a frequency counter of known accuracy to the output of the synthesizer and observe the operating frequency.
5.3.4 FSK Frequency Offset Control
An FSK signal (used for automatic identification of FM repeaters) shifts the frequencies of the
10.24–MHz VCXO reference oscillator and the VCO.
Ground pin 4 on the DB25 connector located on the back panel of the transmitter. This will
shift the operating frequency. Adjust R224 for an offset of the operating frequency of about 6
kHz. Un-grounding pin 4 will cause the operating frequency to return to normal.
Use one of two methods for checking frequency:
1. Use an FM frequency monitor.
2. Couple a frequency counter of known accuracy to the output of the synthesizer and observe the operating frequency.
5.4 Metering Adjustments
5.4.1 Power Calibrate
While looking at RF Power on the digital panel meter, set the Power Calibrate trim potentiometer (R215) to agree with an external RF power meter.
5.4.2 Power Set
With the front panel RF Output control fully clockwise, adjust the Power Set trim pot to 10%
more than the rated power (660 watt for FM600) as indicated on an accurate external watt meter. If the authorized power is less than the maximum watts, you may use the power set to limit
the range of RF output control. Operation below 200 watts is not possible due to the switching
power supply not being able to reach zero volts.

FM600 User’s Manual
5.4.3 SWR Calibrate
When the Carrier switch is off, or the RF power is less than about 5 watts, the SWR circuit
automatically switches to a calibrate-check mode. (See section 4.5 for more information.)
Set the digital panel meter to read SWR. With the Carrier switch off, set the SWR CAL trim pot
(R66) to read 1.03.
5.4.4 PA Current Limit
Since it may not be practical to increase the PA current to set the PA Current Limit control, you
may use this indirect method.
With the carrier turned off, look at the DC voltage at the right end of R413 in the Metering circuit on the motherboard. The current limit, in amperes, will be 0.35 amps higher than ten times
this voltage. Set the current limit for 17.55 amps or 1.72 volts at R413.
5.5 Motherboard Configuration
See section 4.6.1 for motherboard jumper configuration.
5.6 Display Modulation Calibration
The Modulation Calibrate trim pot sets the sensitivity of the front panel Modulation bar graph
display.
This adjustment may be made only after the Output trim pot on the Audio Processor/Stereo
Generator board has been set. (See section 5.2.2.)
Set the Stereo-Mono switch to Mono.
Feed a sine wave source of about 2.5 kHz into the left channel at a level sufficient to put the
wideband gain-reduction indicator somewhere in the middle of its range.
Set the Modulation Calibrate trim pot so that the “90” light on the front panel Modulation display
just begins to light.
Adjustments and Tests

5.7 Driver Switch Logic Board Adjustments
JP1, a 10–pin header on the Driver Switch Logic board, sets the time between program failure
and carrier disable (automatic turnoff). The times are approximate. Sections 2.11, 2.12, and
4.7 contain further information.
1. Short pins 1 and 2 for a 30 second delay.
2. Short pins 3 and 4 for a 2 minute delay.
3. Short pins 5 and 6 for a 4 minute delay.
4. Short pins 7 and 8 for an 8 minute delay.
5. Short pins 9 and 10 to disable the circuit.
You may select other times by changing the value of R28. The time is proportional to the resistance.
5.8 Bias Set (RF Power Amplifier)
The Bias Set trim pot is located inside the PA module on the input circuit board. Set the trim
pot to its full clock-wise position for near-optimum bias.

5.9 Performance Verification
Measure the following parameters to receive a comprehensive characterization of transmitter performance:
•
Carrier frequency
•
RF output power
•
RF bandwidth and RF harmonics (see section 5.12)
•
Pilot frequency, phase, and modulation percentage
•
Audio frequency response
•
Audio distortion
•
Modulation percentage
•
FM and AM noise
•
Stereo separation between left and right
•
Crosstalk between main channel and subcarrier
•
38–kHz subcarrier suppression
•
In addition to the above tests, which pertain to signal quality, a complete check of the
unit will include items listed in section 5.21.
5.9.1 Audio Proof-of-Performance Measurements
References to “100%” modulation assume 9% pilot and 91% for the remainder of the composite stereo signal.
Because the audio processing threshold is at 90% modulation, it is not possible to make
audio proof-of-performance measurements at 100% modulation through the audio processor. Instead, data is taken at a level below the audio processing threshold at 80% modulation.
5.9.2 De-emphasis Input Network
A precision de-emphasis network, connected between the test oscillator and the audio input of the transmitter, can be very helpful when making the audio measurements. Note
that the input impedance of the transmitter or the source impedance of the test oscillator
can affect network accuracy. With the de-emphasis network, oscillator level adjustments
need only accommodate gain errors, instead of the whole pre-emphasis curve.
Adjustments and Tests
5-7
5.10 Carrier Frequency
Carrier frequency is measured at the output frequency with a frequency monitor or suitable
frequency counter.
To adjust frequency, see section 5.3.3. (FCC tolerance +/– 2000 Hz per FCC Part 73.1540
and 73.1545.)
5.11 Output Power
The output power reading on the front panel display should be 90–105% of the actual value.
For a more precise measurement, use a watt meter in the RF output line. See sections
5.4.1 and 5.4.2 for setting power.
5.12 RF Bandwidth and RF Harmonics
You can observe RF bandwidth and spurious emissions with an RF spectrum analyzer.
In the Stereo mode, feed a 15.0–kHz audio signal into one channel to provide 85% modulation as indicated on a monitor. Doing so produces 38% main, 38% stereo subcarrier, and
9% pilot per FCC Part 2.1049. As an alternative, use pink noise into one channel.
Using a spectrum analyzer, verify the following (per FCC 73.317):
1. Emissions more than 600 kHz from the carrier are at least 43 + 10log (power, in watts)
dB down (71 dB for 600 watts). The scan should include the tenth harmonic.
2. Emissions between 240 kHz and 600 kHz from the carrier are down at least 35 dB.
3. Emissions between 120 kHz and 240 kHz from the carrier are down at least 25 dB.
5.13 Pilot Frequency
The pilot frequency should be within 2 Hz of 19 kHz. (FCC Part 73.322.) Using a frequency
counter, measure 1.9 MHz at pin 13 of U208 on the Audio Processor/Stereo Generator
board. A 200–Hz error here corresponds to a 2–Hz error at 19 kHz. If the frequency is off
by more than 50 Hz, you may change the value of C213. (Changing C213 from 56 pF to 68
pF lowers the 1.9 MHz by about 35 Hz.)
5.14 Audio Frequency Response
For the response tests, take the readings from an FM modulation monitor.
Make audio frequency response measurements for left and right channels at frequencies of
50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. See sections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.
5-8
FM600 User’s Manual
5.15 Audio Distortion
Make distortion measurements from the de-emphasized output of an FM modulation monitor.
Make audio distortion measurements for left and right channels at frequencies of 50 Hz, 100
Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz. See sections 5.9.1 and 5.9.2.
5.16 Modulation Percentage
While feeding an audio signal into the left channel only, confirm that the total modulation
percentage remains constant when switching between Mono and Stereo.
Measure modulation percentage with an FM modulation monitor. See section 5.2.2.
19–kHz pilot modulation should be 9%.
5.17 FM and AM Noise
Take noise readings from a de-emphasized output of a modulation monitor.
5.18 Stereo Separation
Make left-into-right and right-into-left stereo separation measurements with an FM modulation monitor for frequencies of 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz.
5.19 Crosstalk
For stereo crosstalk measurements, both left and right channels are fed at the same time.
For best results, there needs to be a means of correcting small imbalances in levels and
phase. The balance is made at 400 Hz.
5.19.1 Main Channel Into Sub
Feed the left and right channels in phase with audio (L+R) at 50 Hz, 100 Hz, 400 Hz, 1 kHz,
5 kHz, 10 kHz, and 15 kHz at 100% modulation, while observing the stereo subcarrier (L-R)
level on an FM modulation monitor.
5.19.2 Sub Channel Into Main
Feed the audio into the left and right channel as above, with the exception of reversing the
polarity of the audio of one channel (L-R input). Using the frequencies of 5.19.1 above, observe the main channel (L+R) level with a modulation monitor.
Adjustments and Tests
5-9
5.20 38–kHz Subcarrier Suppression
With no modulation, but in the Stereo mode, the 38–kHz subcarrier, as indicated on an FM
modulation monitor, should be down at least 40 dB.
5.21 Additional Checks
In addition to the tests and adjustments mentioned in this section, the following checks ensure a complete performance appraisal of the transmitter:
1. Perform a physical inspection, looking for visible damage and checking that the chassis
hardware and circuit boards are secure.
2. Check the functionality of switches and processing control.
3. Verify that all indicators function.
4. Check the frequency synthesizer lock at 80 MHz and 110 MHz.
5. Measure the AC line current with and without the carrier on.
6. Perform a functional test of the SCA input, Monitor outputs, and the monitor and control
function at the 15–pin, D-sub connector.
7. Test the functionality of the FSK circuit.
8. Check the operation and timing of the automatic carrier-off circuitry associated with program failure.
9. Check all metering functions.
10. Test ALC action with PA current overload, SWR, and PLL lock.
NOTE:
FCC type acceptance procedures call for testing the carrier frequency over the temperature
range of 0–50 degrees centigrade, and at line voltages from 85% to 115% of rating. (See
FCC Part 2.1055.)
