DANIELSELECTRONICS LTDTMCI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual 1-11 GENERAL1.1 IntroductionThe CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator module is an optional plug-in component of the MT-3 RadioRepeater System. This module provides digital and/or analog paging capability for Daniels MT-3transmitters in all supported frequency bands.The CI-PM-3 is designed for low power consumption, typically drawing less than 250 mA insteady state. In its standard configuration, the CI-PM-3 uses an on-board frequency referencesource consisting of a 10 MHz OCXO with a standard stability of 0.03 PPM. For high stabilityapplications (such as Simulcast), the CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator may be configured to use anexternal high stability reference source (i.e. rubidium, GPS or WWV) with a standard stabilitygreater than or equal to 0.002 PPM, to discipline the on-board phase-locked loop OCXO oscillator.To ensure that paging signals are the same relative to each transmitter, the CI-PM-3 alsoincorporates a limited delay compensation for the different link propagation paths betweentransmitters.The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator supports both analog and digital paging formats, and can transmitPOCSAG and other 2-level modulation schemes at data transfer rates of 512, 1200, and 2400Baud. It can also be configured for use as a data repeater, whereby 2-level paging data is recovered,re-shaped and then re-transmitted to an additional repeater/paging transmitter. The CI-PM-3supports 4-level modulation formats in non-repeater mode (i.e. in a base station paging transmitterapplication only) at data transfer rates up to 1600 BPS. Each of the four modulation deviationlevels can be independently set, making the CI-PM-3 suitable for use in such pager signalingschemes as Motorola’s FLEX™ Paging Protocol.Setup conditions are established via front panel switch settings, while internal jumper settings andsetup adjustments are easily accessible using the EC-96, 96 Pin Extender Card.The CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator includes the following standard features:- low power analog and CMOS control circuitry.- extended operating temperature range;- jumper selectable Repeater/paging transmitter configuration;- on-board +/-0.03 PPM 10 MHz OCXO;- front panel selection of PLL OCXO using external high stability frequency reference;- jumper and line selectable analog / digital paging configuration;- connection for optional CTCSS encoder / decoder;- balanced 600 Ω / single-ended microphone input;- selectable digital delay for Simulcast operation

DANIELSELECTRONICS LTDTM3-6 CI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual3.12 Simulcast Delay SetupA typical Simulcast system is depicted in Figure 5-2. To correctly determine the differingpropagation path delays to each transmitter in a Simulcast system and compensate for them, signaldelays in both the transmission medium and the equipment must be known. For the purposes ofthis manual, it is assumed that only Daniels MT-3 radio equipment will be utilized at each pagingsite, and that each radio subrack will be identically configured with CI-PM-3 Paging Modulatormodules.Signal delays from the base transmitter to any paging transmitter are calculated as follows:Delay = t(Link) + t(Eqpt)Where: t(Link) = Propagation delay from Base TX to Paging TXt(Eqpt) =t(RX) + t(PM) + t(TX)t(RX) = Delay through Receivert(PM) = Delay through Paging Modulatort(TX) = Delay through Transmitterd = DistanceThe delay through the equipment at each paging transmitter site, t(Eqpt),will be identical for each link,and can therefore be eliminated from our calculations. As such, the only delay variable(s) ofinterest will be the distance from the base transmitter to each paging transmitter. Since radio wavespropagate at or near the speed of light (3x108 m/sec), the delay calculation becomes:Delay = t(Link)= d (km) × 3.33µsecor= d (mi) × 5.37µsecFor the Simulcast system depicted in Figure 5-2, the signal transmitted by PAGING TX #1 will notbe delayed, as this is the furthest site from the BASE TX. However, to ensure identical signalprocessing characteristics at each site, the DATA DELAY circuitry of the CI-PM-3 at PAGINGTX #1 will be enabled, but with zero delay selected. PAGING TX #2 will have its paging signaldelayed by a value proportional to the difference in distance between PAGING TX #1 andPAGING TX #2 to the BASE TX. The delay for PAGING TX #2 is therefore calculated as:Delay(Link B) =(d(Link A) (km) - d(Link B) (km)) × 3.33µsecor=(d(Link A) (mi) - d(Link B) (mi)) × 5.37µsec
DANIELSELECTRONICS LTDTMCI-PM-3 Paging Modulator Instruction Manual 3-7The delay calculations for any paging transmitter site in a multiple-transmitter system, withdistances measured from the site of interest back to the BASE TX, becomes:Delay(Site of Interest) =(d(Furthest Site) (km) - d(Site of Interest) (km)) × 3.33µsecor=(d(Furthest Site) (mi) - d(Site of Interest) (mi)) × 5.37µsecTo set the delay value: Once the required delay has been calculated for a particular paging site, referto Table 4-3 delay settings:a) Locate the DELAY (µsec) value which is closest to the calculated value.b) Set surface mount jumpers JU31, JU32, JU33, and JU35 according Table 4-3 in section 4.3.Data Delay Adjust: To set delay values other than those listed in Table 4-3:1. Set the oscilloscope for 1.0 V/Div (vertical) and 0.5 µs/Div (horizontal). Select channel 1 astrigger input and set Trigger Slope to positive.2. Monitor the test data signal at TP9 on channel 1 of the oscilloscope and the output signal atTP5 on channel 2.3. Adjust the oscilloscope for maximum horizontal display of the distance between the signals’leading edges. Adjust tuning capacitor C55 until the output signal’s leading edge on channel 2is delayed from the input signal’s leading edge on channel 1 by the desired delay amount.Example: To set a delay of 44 µsec:i) Set oscilloscope horizontal resolution to 5 µsec/div.ii) Install surface mount jumpers JU31B, JU32A, JU33A and JU35E (refer to Table 4-3).iii) Monitor TP9 on channel 1 of the oscilloscope. Monitor TP5 on channel 2 of the oscilloscope.Adjust C55 for 8.8 horizontal divisions between the signals’ leading edges(8.8✕5 µsec = 44 µsec delay).

DE DANIELSELECTRONICSUHF Transmitter Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz 1-11 GENERAL1.1 IntroductionThe UT-3 406 - 512 MHz Transmitter is a synthesized FM transmitter capable of operating in 12.5kHz or 25 kHz channels. The transmitter operates continuous duty in one of four frequency bands:406 to 430 MHz, 450 to 470 MHz, 470 to 490 MHz or 490 to 512 MHz and its output power iscontinuously adjustable from 0.5 T0 2.0 or 2.0 to 8.0 Watts. The transmitter is not to be operatedwithin the 406 to 406.1 MHz frequency band, unless specifically authorized by COSPAS/SARSATthrough the Federal Communications Commission and/or Industry Canada. A modular designallows each of the transmitter's modules; MT-3 Transmitter Board, MT-3 Audio Processor, UT-3/400 Amplifier, and OS-3H400 Synthesizer Module to be individually assembled and tested. Thisfacilitates construction, tuning, maintenance as well as troubleshooting procedures. The synthesizermodule can be programmed to have up to 16 channels exclusive to one frequency band.The UT-3 406 - 512 MHz Transmitter is designed to interface with Daniels Electronics' MT-3Repeater System while maintaining MT-2 System compatibility. Both repeater systems arecharacterized by dependable, low maintenance performance under the most severe environmentalconditions. 1.2 Manual OrganizationThe organization of this manual reflects the modular makeup of the UT-3 product line. Eachmodule is fully described within its respective submanual, all of which are contained within thisdocument. In general, each submanual contains:1. A functional description and specification summary,2. A detailed technical description (Theory of Operation) and3. Assembly, setup and alignment procedures relevent to that particular module.The module manuals are as follows:Note: material presented in a given "submanual" may include information related to other moduleversions not directly applicable to the UT-3 406 - 512 MHz Transmitter family (eg, the OS-3HSynthesizer Instruction Manual covers models from 29 MHz to 512 MHz).UHF Transmitter Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz: This manual provides an overview ofthe complete transmitter, manual organization and assembly in terms of the other modules.MT-3 Transmitter Main Board Instruction Manual: This manual pertains to the audio processormodule, transmitter Main Board and Front Panel Board. Most of the user selectable options areaccessed within the Transmitter Main Board module, including channel selection. Since all externalconnections (including power and signal lines) are made to the Transmitter Main Board, most of thematerial pertaining to transmitter operation and installation is found here.

DE DANIELSELECTRONICSTransmitter Main Board Instruction Manual 2-12 THEORY OF OPERATION2.1 Transmitter Main Board2.1.1 General
DE DANIELSELECTRONICSTransmitter Main Board Instruction Manual 3-13 TRANSMITTER ALIGNMENT3.1 GeneralTransmitter alignment is simplified by using an M-3 Subrack, SM-3 System Monitor, and RFextender cable to provide transmitter power and signal interconnection. Alternatively, +9.5 Vdc and+13.8 Vdc may be applied directly to a transmitter module through positive connection for the+9.5 Vdc to pins B6 and Z6, for the +13.8 Vdc to pins B2 and Z2, and negative connection to pinsB30, Z30, B32, and Z32. Transmitter balanced audio (600 Ω) is available at pins B18 and Z18.3.2 Repair NoteMT-3 Transmitter modules are mainly made up of surface mount devices which should not beremoved or replaced using an ordinary soldering iron. Removal and replacement of surface mountcomponents should be performed only with specifically designed surface mount rework and repairstations complete with ElectroStatic Dissipative (ESD) protection.When removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended to use solder braid in place ofmanual vacuum type desoldering tools when removing jumpers. This will help prevent damage tothe circuitboards.3.3 Printed Circuitboard Numbering ConventionTo ease troubleshooting and maintenance procedures, Daniels Electronics Limited has adopted aprinted circuitboard (PCB) numbering convention in which the last two digits of the circuitboardnumber represent the circuitboard version. For example:• PCB number 43-912010 indicates circuitboard version 1.0;• PCB number 50002-02 indicates circuitboard version 2.0.All PCB's manufactured by Daniels Electronics are identified by one of the above conventions.3.4 Recommended Test Equipment ListAlignment of the complete transmitter requires the following test equipment or its equivalent. It isassumed that any adjustment of the Transmitter Main Board will also involve the other modules.Dual Power Supply: Regulated +9.5 Vdc at 2 A.Regulated +13.8 Vdc at 2 A - Topward TPS-4000Oscilloscope / Multimeter: Fluke 97 ScopemeterCurrent Meter: Fluke 75 multimeter

In a standard configuration, the only alignmentrequired on the MT-3 Transmitter Main Board for a synthesized transmitter is to set the frequencyswitches (FSW1, FSW2, FSW3, and FSW4) for the desired channel frequency.

When the four pins are aligned with theircorresponding hole in the Transmitter Main Board, push the module down, taking care to ensure theconnector pins on the bottom of the Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module are notbent.
DE DANIELSELECTRONICS3-6 Transmitter Main Board Instruction ManualTo remove the Enhanced Synthesizer or Crystal Controlled Oscillator module, simply remove thecenter screw from the module lid and pull the module out. The module should be pulled straightout so that the four alignment pins do not bend or damage the circuitboard. The Low Power Synthesizer uses two tabs soldered to the Transmitter Main Board for mounting.No alignment pins are used. As a result care must be taken to ensure the connector pins on thebottom of the Synthesizer are not bent. To install the low Power Synthesizer module, remove thetwo of the synthesizer side screws that correspond to the tabs on the Transmitter Main board andinstall the synthesizer module taking care not to bend the pins. Replace the two side screws;installing them through the tabs to hold the synthesizer module in place.When removing the Low Power Synthesizer module, it is important to gently lift the synthesizermodule "straight out" in order to prevent damage to the connector pins. Remove the two sidescrews holding the sinthesizer module to the tabs. Using a plastic coated lifting tool, such as asmall screwdriver with the tip covered in heat shrink material, gently lift the synthesizer modulefrom the Transmitter Main Board by applying pressure in a rotating fashion about four corners ofthe synthesizer module. Replace the two side screws.3.8 MT-3 Audio Processor Alignment (Version 1.6)3.8.1 GeneralVerify the standard factory settings for the MT-3 Audio Processor as given in section 3.5.2 beforebeginning the standard deviation adjustment procedure. If the transmitter's channel frequencychanges, the audio processor should be realigned to optimize the transmitter's performance. Theschematic diagram for the audio processor is shown in section 5.4.2 and the component layout isshown in section 5.4.1.3.8.2 MT-3 Audio Processor Standard Deviation AdjustmentNote: clockwise rotation of controls increases signal levels.1 Connect the transmitter to the radio communications test set and monitor FMdeviation, distortion, and audio frequency. Before adjusting the audio deviation,confirm that the transmitter RF output frequency is correct.2 Connect the 600 ohm input to the incoming audio (pins B18, Z18). Set the audiofrequency to 1 kHz at the desired level of -8 dBm.3 Increase the balance level control (R31) for maximum gain.
DE DANIELSELECTRONICSTransmitter Main Board Instruction Manual 3-74 Turn the transmitter on.5 Adjust the balance compression level (R38) for compression at ±60% maximumdeviation.6 Set the audio frequency to 2.4 kHz, then adjust the deviation control (R29) formaximum deviation.7 Reset the modulating frequency to 1 kHz and re-adjust R38 for ±60% maximumdeviation.8 Repeat steps 6 and 7 until both conditions are met.9 Vary the audio signal from 1 kHz to 3 kHz and measure the positive deviation andthen the negative deviation. Adjust the symmetry control (R14) until the ± deviation issymmetrical. The variation between ± deviation levels should not exceed 300 Hz overthe 1 kHz to 3 kHz range.10 Repeat steps 6 and 7 and re-adjust if necessary.11 Adjust the balanced input level control (R31) until the deviation produced by a 1 kHztone at -8 dBm falls below ±60% maximum deviation, then adjust R31 so that thedeviation increases until compression is observed. The deviation should be ±1.5 kHzor ±3 kHz for narrowband and wideband channels respectively.12 A 1 kHz tone at -8 dBm input level should produce ±60% maximum deviation. If not,go back to step 4 and make sure the pot is set for maximum gain and repeat theprocedure. If so, increasing the input level by +20 dBm should not increase thedeviation. This confirms that the AGC action of preamplifier U2 is working.13 A 2.4 kHz tone at the desired audio input level should produce the maximumdeviation. Increasing the input level by +20 dBm should not increase the deviation.This confirms that the limiting action of U4a and U5a is working.14 Set the audio frequency back to 1 kHz at -8 dBm output. Confirm and record audiodistortion with the appropriate filter on the communications test set.15 Confirm the audio frequency response by referencing all output deviationmeasurements to a 1 kHz input tone at ±20% maximum deviation (±500 Hz fornarrowband or ±1 kHz for wideband).16 Remove the signal to the balanced input (pins B18, Z18).

Remove the signal.3.11 Low Frequency Modulation ConfigurationNote: the following information originates from Daniels Electronics document number A0361-06.3.11.1MT-3 TransmittersFor transmitters, the LTR™ or DCS signal should be applied to the DIRECT MODULATIONinput (pin Z28), which is also available on the M-3 and SR-3 motherboards at the controlconnectors J1, P1, or J7 on pins B20 (TX A DIR MOD) and A20 (TX B DIR MOD). The signalfrom an LTR™ or DCS encoder should be applied through a 47k resistor to reduce theloading effect of the DIRECT MODULATION input. The signal should be capacitivelycoupled to avoid pulling the transmitter frequency off centre. Most LTR™ and DCS encodermodules already have a capacitive output. Note that the controller generating the low frequencysignal will need to key the transmitter's PTT input. Note that the synthesizer and the audioprocessor may require modifications as described later in this document.

Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 1-51.5 Turn-on TimeThis measurement is made with the standard factory settings with a 1 kHz tone applied to thebalanced input. The turn-on time is the time it takes the FM Audio Processor to output a stableaudio signal to P3-1 from the time its power (+8.0 VDC) is switched on. The turn-on time can be virtually eliminated by configuring the FM Audio Processor forcontinuous audio standby (see section 1.7 Transmitter Standby Modes). The drawback is thatmore current is used to enable the audio circuits to minimize the turn on time. The bulk of the delayis in the powering of the compression amplifier. For applications that do not use the compressionamplifier, the fast turn on times apply as in the case of data transmission, or audio with nocompression.Table 3 Turn On TimeMode Turn on time Audio ProcessorStandby CurrentFast turn on – higher current Approx 1mS 15 mACurrent save – slower response Approx 150mS 450uA1.6 Low Frequency ModulationThe transmitter has an additional option to address low frequency user modulation requirements. Aphase modulated bandwidth from 0 (dc) to 100 Hz (PLL loop filter bandwidth) allows specializedapplications such as paging or trunking where a separate low frequency digital/analog modulationchannel is required. Low Frequency Modulation allows external access to the low frequencymodulation capabilities of the synthesizer module. The DIRECT MODULATION inputs on the J1control connector of the M-3 motherboard will be used (B20 for TX A, and A20 forTX B). Refer to “Data Modulation and Signalling Applications Manual”, P/N AM20-DMS forspecific FM Audio Processor configuration methods.1.7 Transmitter Standby ModesThe MT-3 series transmitters has 8 different standby modes that trade-off standby currentconsumption for start-up speed. Three of these jumpers are on the Transmitter Main Board :• J6 which always turns on the '+9.5 VDC Switched' supply,• J7 which selects the power source for the MT-3 FM Audio Processor• J18 which selects the enable line for the OS-3 or OS-3H Synthesizer, or OC-3 CrystalControlled Oscillator module.Additionally, there is a jumper on the FM Audio Processor Board:• JU36 which determines the power hookup for the dual compression amplifiers
1-6 Audio Processor Board Instruction ManualNotes:If FM Audio Processor JU36 is not installed, both microphone and balanced audio compressionamplifiers will be disabled. This means that the front panel microphone jack will be disabled forlocal microphone operations. When in this condition, balanced audio is routed around thecompression circuitry via JU11 (installed) with JU1 and JU2 removed.Table 4 Mode Condition TableMODE#J6J7J18Synthesizer/OscState AudioProcessor State(8V Switched)Audio ProcessorCompressionJU361aOUTY YPTT Switched PTT Switched Switched +8.0V(X)1bOUTY YPTT Switched PTT Switched Continuous 9.5V(Y)1cOUTY YPTT Switched PTT SwitchedDisabled (Not Installed)2a INYX Always enabled PTT Switched Switched +8.0V (X)2b INYX Always enabled PTT Switched Continuous 9.5V (Y)2c INYX Always enabled PTT SwitchedDisabled (Not Installed)3 IN XYPTT Switched Always enabled Doesn’t matter4 IN X X Always enabled Always enabled Doesn’t matterTable 5 Standby Mode Selection TableMODE#Total Xmtr StandbyCurrent Startup Time1a 13 mA 6 mA150 mS150 mS1b 22 mA 15 mA 10 mS 10 mS1c 13 mA 6 mA 10 mS 10 mS2a 165 mA 25 mA150 mS150 mS2b 174 mA 34 mA 10 mS 10 mS2c 165 mA 25 mA 10 mS 10 mS3 27 mA 20 mA 10 mS 10 mS4 175 mA 34 mA 10 mS 10 mSTable 6 FM Audio Processor Total Current Consumption.Compression configuration Audio ProcessorCurrent Drawkeyed / unkeyedCompression enabled (JU36X) 15 mA/0.45 mACompression and microphone disabled(JU36 Open)9.2 mA/0.45 mACompression enabled (JU36Y) 15 mA /9.2 mA
Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 2-12 SIGNALSThe MT-3 FM Audio Processor has six audio inputs, two audio outputs and one audio controlinput. Five of the audio inputs are used primarily for voice and tone signals. The sixth, the Directmodulation input, is used primarily for data signals. The audio control input is used to switch audiooutputs so the transmitter can transmit voice or data.2.1 FM Audio Processor OutputsBoth the audio outputs, Modulation Output (P3-1) and Low Frequency / Direct Modulation Output(P4-2), are gated by audio switches U5 and U6 respectively which are controlled by the TransmitAudio Control Input (P4-4). The audio switches can be operated complimentary to each other sothere can ever only be one source modulating the transmitter. In standard configuration, theModulation Output port is used so switch U5 is always on.2.2 Modulation OutputThe Modulation Output port is the output port used by all voice input signals. The voice inputs arepassed to U1A and U1B, a dual programmable compandor which is configured as an automaticlevel control amplifier. Op-amp U3A provides the limiting action for the FM Audio Processor.After the audio signals have been combined limited and buffered, they are filtered by 10th orderLinear Phase Lowpass Filter (U4). The output signal from the filter is then level adjusted by thedeviation control pot, R29, before buffer amplifier U3D. In special applications, jumper JU6 can be disabled and JU7 enabled, this allows the transmitter tobe modulated directly from the auxiliary input. This should not be done without external filteringsince jumper JU7 bypasses the limiting and filter circuits. 2.3 Low Frequency / Direct Mod. OutputThe Low Frequency / Direct Modulation Output port has two functions depending on whether thetransmitter is synthesized or crystal controlled. In a synthesized transmitter, this port is used tomodulate the synthesizer reference frequency. The frequency response of this port is typically DCto 300 Hz. In a crystal controlled transmitter, this port can be used by the Direct Modulation Inputto directly modulate the crystal control oscillator module. The frequency response of this port isessentially flat from DC to 5 kHz with no limiting or filtering.2.4 Microphone InputThe microphone input has an automatically level controlled (ALC) preamplifier U1 whose inputlevel is controlled by R2. The microphone input level control (R2) can accommodate a -25 dBm to0 dBm input signal. The microphone input is limited and filtered and is output at the standardmodulation output port. The microphone input can have a standard 6dB/octave pre-emphasisresponse or a flat-audio response, jumper JU1 at 'y' and 'x' position respectively.2.5 Balanced InputThe 600 ohm balanced input uses the ALC preamplifier U1B, with input level control pot (R31).The balanced input level control can accommodate a -25 dBm to 0 dBm input. (install JU17 when
2-2 Audio Processor Board Instruction Manualusing the lower input levels) Like the microphone input, the balance input is limited and filtered andis output at the standard modulation output port.If no compression is required (i.e.: customer is providing their own), JU11 can be enabledproviding a path through R48 (Auxiliary Input Level Control) to amplifier U2C where pre-emphasis or flat audio can then be selected from its output.2.6 Auxiliary InputThe auxiliary input is a special input and does not have an ALC. This input can be configured for apre-emphasis response (enable JU9Y) or a flat-audio response (enable JU9X). The level for thisinput is set by R48. The auxiliary output is normally summed with the voice signals by op-ampU3A, limited, then filtered and output at the standard modulation output port. When jumper JU6 isdisabled and jumper JU7 is enabled, the auxiliary input can be used to directly modulate thetransmitter. Care should be taken when directly modulating the transmitter with the auxiliary inputbecause the MT-3 transmitters use direct FM modulation and there is no filtering or limiting actionprovided by the auxiliary input. The input level to the auxiliary input should be -18 dBm and canbe driven by one of three inputs:• the balanced input – JU11• the tone/digital input – JU12 X or Y enabled• the direct modulation input – through JU28When the 600 ohm balanced input is connected to the auxiliary input, the balanced input levelcontrol can be used to adjust the level for the auxiliary input.2.7 Subtone InputsThere are two subtone inputs available on the FM Audio Processor. Both subtone inputs can beindividually configured to be output from the standard Modulation Output port or to be output fromthe Low Frequency / Direct Modulation Output. In standard configuration, Subtone 1 is summedwith the voice signals to be output from the standard Modulation Output port while Subtone 2 isused for DCS. Both subtone inputs have an input level control.2.8 Direct Modulation InputThe Direct Modulation Input is an extremely versatile input. This port is designed to be used fordata signals. Depending on the application, the signal can be amplified, AC or DC coupled andoutput to the Modulation Output or the Low Frequency / Direct Modulation Output port. Pleaseconsult the factory for specific jumper settings for your application.

Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 6-16 TEMPERATURE COMPENSATIONThe FM Audio Processor includes temperature compensation circuitry to maintain constanttransmitter audio deviation with a fixed level input signal. It is capable of not only compensating fortemperature related level variations within the FM Audio Processor (typically –0.3 to –0.5 dB at–40C) but can also compensate for changes caused by the synthesizer or crystal oscillator modulethat is not equipped with its own temperature compensation.The factory specification is as follows:WidebandWhen a 2.4 kHz tone is applied at a level of –8dBm to the balanced input of the transmitter, thetransmitter deviation shall be ±4.8 kHz at room temperature and can vary from ±4.5 kHz to±5.0 kHz from -40ºC to +60ºC.NarrowbandWhen a 2.4 kHz tone is applied at a level of –8 dBm to the balanced input of the transmitter, thetransmitter deviation shall be ±2.4 kHz at room temperature and can vary from ±2.25 kHz to±2.5 kHz from -40ºC to +60ºC.Since the specifications of the components used in the synthesizer or oscillator may change overtime, changes to the temperature compensation circuit may be necessary even for the same type ofequipment.Contact the factory for more information on values used.

Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 9-59 AM AUDIO PROCESSOR9.1 IntroductionThe MT-3 AM Transmitter Main Board integrates the MT-3 Front Panel Board, MT-3 AMAudio Processor, Synthesizer or Crystal Control module and Amplifier module together to makea working MT-3 AM series transmitter. The Front Panel Board and the Audio Processor aresoldered directly to the Transmitter Main Board while the Amplifier and the Synthesizer orCrystal Control module are frequency band sensitive, plug-in modules. Circuitry and jumpers onthe Transmitter Main Board control the operation of the modules as well as the overall operationof the MT-3 transmitter. Power and signal connections are made to the 48 pin type 'F' connectoron the rear of the Transmitter Main Board and are routed to the other modules. The front andrear back plates are attached to the Transmitter Main Board and together with the extrudedaluminum shell, as discussed in the assembly section of the Transmitter Manual, form thetransmitter enclosure.9.2 Performance SpecificationsType: MT-3 AM Series TransmitterCompatibility: VT-3A Series Amplifier, OCT-3 Crystal Oscillator, OST-3Frequency Synthesizer.Modulation: 6K00A3 (Amplitude Modulation)Operating Temperature Range: -30˚C to +60˚C, optional - 40˚C temperature test.Operating Humidity: 95% RH (non-condensing) at +25°C.Operating Voltage:+13.8Vdc , +9.5 Vdc Regulated.Front Panel Control: One 3 position switch• NORM (repeat mode)• OFF• KEY TXPTT Activation: • Active to ground with or without time-out-timer;• Microphone activated with or without time-out-timer;• Front Panel switch: KEY TX - without time-out-timer;• NORM - with or without time-out-timer.• Isolated (optional relay) with or without time-out-timer.PTT Time-Out-Timer: Selectable from 1 sec. to 8 hrs.

The transmitter board routes the audio lines from the backplane connector to theaudio processor. The audio lines routed to the audio processor are: a 600 ohm balanced input(pins B18 and Z18), and a MIC AUDIO from the MT-3 FRONT PANEL BOARD. It is herethat the MIC audio is processed in the same manner as the 600 ohm balanced audio. The audioprocessor's balanced input pins are isolated from pins B18 and Z18 by a transformer (T1). Twoaudio outputs from the MT-3 AM Audio Processor are routed to the VT-3A130 Amplifier.The MT-3 AM Audio Processor is a versatile circuitboard that can provide several types of audioprocessing. The module also has an on-board programmable push-to-talk (PTT) time-out-timer(TOT) on an attached circuitboard. A continuous +9.5 Vdc supply and a continuous +13.8 Vdcsupply together with a switched +8.0 Vdc supply are required to power the module. Refer tosection 9.11 "MT-3 AM Audio Processor Component Layout" and to section 9.12 "MT-3 AMAudio Processor Schematic Diagram" for component location and designation references.9.5 Power RequirementsThe audio processor can be configured for continuous audio standby or for switched audiostandby by the Transmitter Main Board. If fast audio risetime is desired, the transmitter shouldbe operated in standby mode 3 or 4 as specified below. The current for the associated TOT isapproximately 4 mA when the transmitter is keyed.9.6 Transmitter Standby ModesThe VT-3A130 Transmitter has four different standby modes that trade-off standby currentconsumption for start-up speed. The standby modes are determined by three jumpers: jumper J6which always turns on the '+9.5 Vdc Switched' supply, jumper J7 which selects the power sourcefor the MT-3 AM Audio Processor and jumper J18 which selects the enable line for the OST-3A128 Synthesizer Module.
Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 9-7The actual current and start-up time may depend on the frequncy controlled source (crystal orsynthesizer) and amplifier module. The current and start-up times given below are representativevalues intended only as a guideline.MODE 1:Jumper J6 out- the audio processor is switched by a PTT signal- the synthesizer is switched by a PTT signal- standby current typically 13 mA- start-up time typically 40 msMODE 2:Jumper J6 in, jumper J7 in the 'y' position, jumper J18 in the 'x' position- the audio processor is switched by a PTT signal- the synthesizer is enabled all of the time- standby current not used in this mode- start-up time not used in this modeMODE 3:Jumper J6 in, jumper J7 in the 'x' position, jumper J18 in the 'y' position- the audio processor is enabled all of the time- the synthesizer is switched by a PTT signal- standby current typically 19 mA- start-up time typically 40 msMODE 4:Jumper J6 in, jumper J7 in the 'x' position, jumper J18 in the 'x' position- the audio processor is enabled all of the time-the synthesizer is enabled all of the time-standby current typically 163 mA-start-up time typically 12 ms9.7 Audio CircuitryThe MT-3 AM Tx Audio Processor refer to section 9.12 "MT-3 AM Audio ProcessorSchematic Diagram" has two audio inputs (Microphone input and Balanced input) which can beused to modulate the transmitter. The input signals are combined by R2 and R17 at acompandor U1. U1b controls the input level and makes gain inversely proportional to the inputlevel (say a 20 dB drop in input level will produced a 20 dB increase in gain). The output willremain fixed at a constant level without clipping and distortion. (Automatic Level Control) Theinput signals are adjusted by the pots R1, R16. The variable gain cell in U1a is used as a voltage-controlled amplifier so that if the power supply (13.8Vdc) has changed the output level willchange in order to keep the modulation of the RF output signal at the same level. The gaincontrol can be adjust by the pot R4. (Automatic Modulation Control) The audio signal thenamplifies and filters at U2. The output signal is adjusted by the pot R14.
9-8 9.8 AM Audio Processor Factory ConfigurationThe MT-3 AM Transmitter Audio Processor is factory configured as follows:• Microphone Input: 1kHz tone at -10 dBm gives 50% maximummodulations.• Audio Balanced Input: 1 kHz tone at -8 dBm gives 90% maximummodulations.• Automatic Modulation Control enabled• Automatic Level Control enabledThe corresponding jumper settings are:• Jumper JU1: 'x' position Automatic Modulation Control disabled• Jumper JU2: not installed Modulation configuration• Jumper JU3: 'y' position Automatic Level Control enabled• Jumper JU4: not installed Time-out-time power supply (optional)• Jumper JU5: 'y' position Voice application• Jumper JU6: 'y' position Voice application• Jumper JU7: not installed Modulation configuration• Jumper JU8: 'y' position Automatic Level Control enabled• Jumper JU9: installed Power AMC and Microphone enabled9.9 AM Audio Processor AlignmentVerify the standard factory settings for the MT-3 AM Audio Processor as given in section 9.8before beginning the standard modulation adjustment procedure. If the transmitter's channelfrequency changes, the audio processor should be realigned to optimize the transmitter'sperformance. The schematic diagram for the audio processor is shown in section 9.12 and thecomponent layout is shown in section 9.11.*Note: clockwise rotation of controls increases signal levels1 Before adjusting the audio board, confirm that the transmitter frequency is correct.2 Unscrew and slide out the case of the transmitter. Locate the Tx Audio Board.3 Connect the transmitter RF Output to a Radio communications test set.4 Connect the 600 ohm input to the incoming audio (pins B18, Z18). Set the audiofrequency to 1 kHz at the desired level of -8 dBm.5 Turn the transmitter on.6 Adjust the pot R16, in order to achieve about 0.700 Vrms at TP4.7 Adjust the pot R14, in order to achieve about 0.200 Vrms at TP8.8 Tune the Audio Adjust pot R35 on the Power Amplifier board to obtain 90% modulation.9 Apply a 1 kHz, -20 dBm input signal and adjust the pot R16 in order to obtain 30%modulation.
Audio Processor Board Instruction Manual 9-910 Apply a 1 kHz, -8 dBm input signal, the modulation should be 90%, observe that thedistortion of the transmitted signal is within 5.0%.11 Slowly increase the input audio signal level to 5 dBm and observe that the modulationdoes not go over 100%. This step verifies the correct operation of the ALC .12 Change 13.8Vdc power supply to 10V and then to 17V, the modulation of the output RFsignal should remain at the same level of 90% ±7% and distortion should be less then3%. This step verifies the correct operation of the power regulator on the transmitteramplifier board.13 Repeat steps 7 and 9 if required.14 Supply a 1 kHz, -10 dBm signal to the microphone input. (Note the level restriction of -25 dBm to 0 dBm.)15 Adjust the Microphone Input Level Adjust pot (R1) to achieve 50% of RF signalmodulation. Observe that the distortion should be under 5%.16 Turn off the transmitter. Remove the signal source and replace all the screws.

DE DANIELSELECTRONICSUHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz 1-11 GENERAL1.1 IntroductionThe UT-3/400 Amplifier provides the final stage of RF amplification and filtering for the entireUHF Transmitter UT-3 406 -512 MHz family. The amplifier has four distinct frequency ranges:406 to 430 MHz, 450 to 470 MHz, 470 to 490 MHz and 490 to 512 MHz as well as two distinctoutput power ranges: 0.5 to 2.0 Watts and 2.0 to 8.0 Watts. The UT-3/400 Amplifier is housed ina machined aluminum case that ensures optimum RF shielding, provides a good ground, and alsoacts as a heatsink.Additionally, the UT-3/400 Amplifier is equipped with output power and VSWR sensing lineswhich can be individually configured as open collector or linear outputs. The internal VSWRsensor protects the amplifier from high antenna VSWR by approximately halving the amplifier'sRF gain when a VSWR overload condition is present. Output filtering for the UT-3/400 Amplifier is provided by the UT-3/400 Lowpass Filter Board.The lowpass filter assembly is mounted in a separate compartment of the amplifier case in order toprovided maximum attenuation of harmonic and other spurious signals.

DE DANIELSELECTRONICSUHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz 3-13 UT-3/400 AMPLIFIER ALIGNMENT3.1 GeneralConnections to the power supply, alarm and transmit enable lines (ENA), are clearly marked on theamplifier case. The amplifier is enabled when the enable line (ENA) is grounded.If the amplifier is installed in the transmitter, alignment is simplified by using an SR-3 Subrack,SM-3 System Monitor, and RF extender cable to provide transmitter power and signalinterconnection (see the Transmitter Main Board Manual for details). For complete transmitteralignment, the Transmitter Main Board, Synthesizer, Amplifier, and Audio Processor should betuned in the aforementioned order. Please refer the corresponding manuals for each module.If the input RF level is not changed, adjustments to the output power and alarm thresholds may bemade without removing the amplifier cover. However, in the case of a complete amplifier alignment,the amplifier should be separated from the Transmitter Main Board and the amplifier cover removedto expose all amplifier circuitry. All jumpers and test points are clearly marked.3.2 Repair NoteThe UT-3/400 Transmitter is mainly made up of surface mount devices which should not beremoved or replaced using an ordinary soldering iron. Removal and replacement of surface mountcomponents should be performed only with specifically designed surface mount rework and repairstations complete with ElectroStatic Dissipative (ESD) protection.When removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended to use solder braid in place ofmanual vacuum type desoldering tools when removing jumpers. This will help prevent damage tothe circuitboards.3.3 Recommended Test Equipment ListAlignment of the transmitter requires the following test equipment or its equivalent.Dual Power Supply: Regulated +9.5 Vdc at 0.1 A.Regulated +13.8 Vdc at 2 A - Topward TPS-4000Oscilloscope / Multimeter: Fluke 97 ScopemeterCurrent Meter: Fluke 75 multimeterRadio communications test set : Marconi Instruments 2955RVSWR 3:1 mismatch load: JFW 50T-035-3.0:1coaxial test cable set three 50 Ω cables of incremental length 20 to 40 cmAlignment Tool: Johanson 4192
DE DANIELSELECTRONICS3-2 UHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHzIt is recommended that the radio communications test set be frequency locked to an externalreference (WWVH, GPS, Loran C) so that the high stability oscillator may be accurately set towithin its ±1 ppm frequency tolerance.3.4 Printed Circuitboard Numbering ConventionTo ease troubleshooting and maintenance procedures, Daniels Electronics Limited has adopted aprinted circuitboard (PCB) numbering convention in which the last two digits of the circuitboardnumber represent the circuitboard version. For example:• PCB number 43-912010 indicates circuitboard version 1.0;• PCB number 50002-02 indicates circuitboard version 2.0.All PCB's manufactured by Daniels Electronics are identified by one of the above conventions.3.5 Standard Factory Settings and Jumper ConfigurationThe UT-3/400 Amplifier is factory configured as follows:• Open collector configuration for Output Power Alarm (3 dB drop).• Open collector configuration for Antenna VSWR Alarm (VSWR ≥ 3:1).• Output power of 2 Watts or 6 Watts for low and high power amplifiers respectively.The corresponding jumper settings are:• Jumper JU1: not installed Output power alarm - linear output• Jumper JU2: installed Output power alarm - open collector output• Jumper JU3: installed Antenna VSWR alarm - open collector output• Jumper JU4: not installed Antenna VSWR alarm - linear output• Jumper JU5: installed Low power (2 W) transmitters• Jumper JU5: not installed High power (8 W) transmitters3.6 UT-3/400 Amplifier Alignment3.6.1 GENERALThe UT-3/400 Amplifier is a frequency sensitive module that is factory assembled to operate in oneof four frequency bands: 406 to 430 MHz, 450 to 470 MHz, 470 to 490 MHz or 490 to 512MHz. The amplifier is available in a low power version, 0.5 to 2.0 Watts output power, and a highpower version, 2.0 to 8.0 Watts output power. Both amplifier versions require 5 dBm of inputpower and in both versions the amplifiers output power is continuously adjustable over the itsrespective power range. The UT-3/400 Amplifier provides Output Power and Antenna VSWRAlarm outputs which can be configured for open collector output or linear operation. The
DE DANIELSELECTRONICSUHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz 3-3amplifier's output power level, alarm levels, and tuning for the transistor matching circuit in the highpower version can be set without detaching the amplifier from the transmitter board. However, ifthe output power alarm or the Antenna VSWR alarm output configuration requires changing, theUT-3/400 Amplifier must be detached from the MT-3 Transmitter Board. Refer to section 4 page 2"UT-3/400 Amplifier Component Layout" for the location of solder jumpers JU1 to JU5. 3.6.2 UT-3/400 AMPLIFIER ADJUSTMENTThe Amplifier alignment consists of two adjustment procedures; (i) a general set up (section3.6.2.1) procedure which sets up the proper bias conditions for the RF transistors and (ii) the RFthreshold adjustments which set up the desired alarm threshold levels as well as the RF outputpower. The general alignment procedure is required following major repair operations, changes inRF input levels or large changes in operating frequency (greater than ± 1.0 MHz).The RF output and alarm threshold level adjustments are more easily accessible so that fineadjustments can be made in the field. Depending on user requirements, the RF alarm thresholdlevels should be checked whenever a significant change in operating frequency (± 0.5 MHz) ismade. As the antenna VSWR alarm is dependent on the output power alarm, the output power alarmshould always be set first. The order of adjustment should be:The adjustment procedures for the high power and the low power version amplifiers are identicalafter the matching for transistor Q1 is tuned in the high power version. As the antenna VSWRalarm is dependent on the output power alarm, the output power alarm should always be set first.The order of adjustment should be:1) High Power Amplifiers Only — Tune the transistor matching circuit at thedesired frequency and power.2) Set the desired output power alarm level (section 3.6.2.2).3) Set the desired output power level (section 3.6.2.3).4) Set the desired Antenna VSWR alarm level (section 3.6.2.4).5) Set the desired overload condition level (section 3.6.2.5).Details for the preceding four steps are outlined below.3.6.2.1 General Set-Up1 Connect the transmitter's antenna output connector to the type N input of the radiocommunications test set through a short section of low loss 50 Ω coaxial cable.2 Turn all four (4) of the adjustment potentiometers (R7, R21, R36, and R38) fullycounterclockwise.
DE DANIELSELECTRONICS3-4 UHF Amplifier Instruction Manual UT-3 406 - 512 MHz3 Turn on the power to the transmitter.4 For high power amplifier units, follow steps 5 to 7 below. For low power amplifiers,skip to the Output Power Alarm procedure.5 Tune the output matching capacitor for maximum output power. This should beapproximately 8 Watts.6 For single frequency applications, tune the input matching capacitor so that +9.5 Vdccurrent is minimized without sacrificing output power. For wideband applications it isbest to tune the amplifier at the highest frequency in the band of interest and then tunethe input matching capacitor so that the +9.5 Vdc current never exceeds 1.2 amps overthe desired frequency band.7 For single frequency applications, re-peak the output matching capacitor. Forwideband applications it is best to tune the amplifier at the highest frequency in theband of interest and then re-peak the output matching capacitor so that the +13.8 Vdccurrent never exceeds 1.5 amps over the desired frequency band.3.6.2.2 Output Power Alarm (Forward Power)Open Collector Output * note: the output power alarm output is factory configured as an open collector outputso a pull-up resistor may be required on transmitter pin B26 if one is not alreadypresent.1 Adjust R7, the output power adjustment, to the output power at which the OutputPower Alarm is to be activated.2 Monitor transmitter pin B26, the Output Power Alarm line, and slowly turn R21, theoutput power alarm adjustment, clockwise until pin B26 goes low. The alarm is nowset for the current output power of the transmitter.Linear Output1 Open the amplifier case to disable (open circuit) jumper JU2 and enable (short)jumper JU1.2 Monitor transmitter pin B26 with a voltmeter.3 Adjust R7, the output power adjustment, for full transmitter output power.

The voltmeter shouldread approximately +3 Vdc.6 Disconnect the voltmeter.3.6.2.3 Output Power1 Turn R7, the output power adjustment, clockwise to the desired transmitter outputpower.3.6.2.4 Antenna VSWR Alarm (Reverse Power)Open Collector Output * note: the antenna VSWR alarm output is factory configured as an open collectoroutput so a pull-up resistor may be required on transmitter pin Z26 if one is notalready present. The output power alarm must be set first before the antenna VSWRalarm can be set.1 Disconnect the radio communications test and terminate the transmitter with the 3:1mismatch load.2 Monitor pin Z26, the Antenna VSWR Alarm line, and turn R36 fullycounterclockwise. Pin Z26 should be high. Slowly turn R36 clockwise until pin Z26is pulled low. Put the 50 ohm load back on again, Pin Z26 should go high. Thereverse power trip point is now set for a VSWR of 3:1.Linear Output1 Open the amplifier case to disable (open circuit) jumper JU3 and enable (short)jumper JU4.2 Monitor transmitter pin Z26 with a voltmeter.3 Disconnect the radio communications test set and terminate the transmitter with the3:1 mismatch load.4 Adjust R36, the VSWR alarm adjustment, so that the voltmeter indicates +5 Vdc for a3:1 mismatch.

Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 470 MHz 1-11. GENERALThis is hidden text.1.1 IntroductionThe OS-3A/H Synthesizer is a compact, fully shielded and environmentally rugged frequencysynthesis module that is the nucleus of every MT-3 synthesized Receiver and Transmitter radiomodule. The OS-3A/H generates a high stability, low distortion radio frequency signal in one ofseveral frequency bands, including 29 - 50 MHz, 118 - 159.4 MHz, 118 - 174 MHz and406 - 470 MHz. The OS-3A/H utilizes an internal temperature compensated 9.6 MHz reference toproduce a signal stable to ±1 ppm within the temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. Alternately, theOS-3A/H can be disciplined by an external 9.6 MHz or 10 MHz reference of higher stability. TheOS-3A/H Synthesizer Module is manufactured in twelve distinct models which cover three primaryfrequency bands (see section 1.2 below). All synthesizer modules are designed to be easilyremoved for programming, calibration and/or repair. The synthesizer circuitry is distributedbetween two printed circuit boards (PCBs) which are isolated yet interconnected via photo-logicoptical transceivers that effectively eliminate residual electrical noise between digital and analogcircuitry. Further shielding of the synthesizer’s RF filter circuitry is provided by an internalshielded enclosure.1.2 OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Enhanced Synthesizer Family ModelsThe OS-3A/H Synthesizer Module is utilized in both the MT-3 Receiver and Transmitter productlines. In MT-3 Transmitters, the OS-3A/H synthesizer provides a modulated, low-level RF signalto the Power Amplifier module. In MT-3 Receivers, the OS-3A/H synthesizer provides a low noiselocal oscillator (LO) signal that either directly drives the mixer circuitry or first drives a bufferamplifier which precedes the mixer circuitry (if a higher LO drive signal is required for enhancedintermodulation capability). There are twelve distinct models within the OS-3A/H EnhancedSynthesizer Family. Note that this manual provides service and operating information for all twelvesynthesizer modules. It is extremely important to establish the correct synthesizer model number,as documentation is model-specific. The model number can be found on the synthesizer label,located on the synthesizer module top cover.The twelve synthesizer models that comprise the OS-3A/H Synthesizer family are follows:Frequency Band: 29 - 50 MHz, Common OS-3H0xx Analog Board• OST-3H035 - installed in FM transmitter, 29 - 38 MHz RF output.• OST-3H045 - installed in FM transmitter, 38 - 50 MHz RF output.• OSR-3H061 - installed in FM receiver, 50.4 - 71.4 MHz RF output.

There are, however, significant differences between thevarious models when it comes to the analog PCB. There are four different analog PCBs, designedto cover the four frequency bands of 29 - 50 MHz, 118 - 159.4 MHz, 128 - 174 MHz and406 - 470 MHz. Each model’s specific sub-band of operation within a given frequency band isdetermined through SELECT components on the corresponding analog board.

SYNTHESIZER ALIGNMENTThis is hidden text.3.1 GeneralOS(R/T)-3(A/H) enhanced synthesizer alignment is simplified by using a Type 84 subrack and RFextender card/cable of providing receiver or transmitter power and signal interconnection.Alternately, +9.5 Vdc may be directly connected to a receiver or transmitter module with the positiveconnection on pins B6 / Z6 and the negative connection on pins B30 / Z30 / B32 / Z32. Receiverbalanced audio (600 Ω) is available at pins B26 and Z26.3.2 Repair NoteThe OS(R/T)-3(A/H) synthesizer employs a large number of surface mount components. Removaland/or replacement of surface mount components should never be performed using an ordinarysoldering iron but should only be performed at surface mount rework and repair stations equippedwith Electro Static Dissipative (ESD) protection.When removing Surface Mount Solder Jumpers, it is recommended that solder wick braid be usedin lieu of vacuum type de-soldering tools to help prevent damage to the printed circuit boards.3.3 Recommended Test EquipmentAlignment of the synthesizer requires the following test equipment, or its equivalent:Power supply - Regulated +9.5 Vdc at 2 A. Phillips PM 2811Oscilloscope / Multimeter - Fluke 97 ScopemeterRadio communications test set - Marconi Instruments 2965AIt is recommended that the radio communications test set be referenced to an external high stabilityfrequency source (WWVH, GPS, Loran C) so that the OS-3A/H internal high stability localoscillator may be accurately set to within its ±1 ppm frequency tolerance.3.4 OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Synthesizer Factory ConfigurationThe OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Synthesizer is factory configured as follows:•Internal 9.6 MHz reference selected.•VCO modulation (via audio processor) enabled (OST TX versions only)

The alignment procedureinvolves setting the internal TCXO reference frequency (if one is installed and the internalreference option is enabled). This step is described in "Reference Frequency Alignment", section3.5.5.5. A change in operating frequency from the initial factory setting that exceeds thesynthesizer’s maximum tuning range (Refer to Specifications section 1.3) requires a more involvedalignment procedure as described in sections 3.5.2 to 3.5.5. Conversion of a synthesizer frominternal reference to external reference or vice-versa is accomplished through selection of jumperJU1 A or B, as appropriate and JU2 (Refer to section 3.5.6).3.5.2 Synthesizer Test PointsAnalog Board Component Layout (Top)Common to all synthesizer family members.TP1+8.0 ±0.3 Vdc.

Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 470 MHz 3-33.5.3 Synthesizer Removal and InstallationThe synthesizer module is secured to the main board (MT-3 Receiver IF/Audio Board or MT-3Transmitter Main board) with a single counter sunk Phillips machine screw accessible from the topcover. Remove this screw to remove the synthesizer module. Using a plastic coated lifting tool,such as a small screwdriver with the tip covered in heat shrink material, gently lift the synthesizermodule from the main circuit board by applying pressure in a rotating fashion about the fourcorners of the synthesizer module. It is important to gently remove the synthesizer module"straight out" in order to prevent damage to the connector pins. Installation of the synthesizer isperformed in a reverse fashion. It is important to ensure complete connector pin alignment prior toany application of reinsertion force. Four corner locating pins on the synthesizer housing assist inconnector pin alignment during installation and removal.Note:Complete synthesizer alignment can be performed without removing the synthesizer.The alignment procedure starting in section 3.5.5 may now be performed.3.5.4 Circuit Board RemovalNote: Circuit board removal is not required for tuning purposes.Using a vacuum de-soldering station, de-solder connections P1, P2 and P3. Remove SMBconnectors J1 and J2 by de-soldering the center pins and removing four M2.0 machine screws.These connection points are shown in the "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) XXX - XXX MHz Analog BoardComponent Layout (Top)" diagrams. Remove seven M2.0 machine screws and carefully removethe analog circuit board. Removal of the analog circuit board will expose three inter-board wireconnections. Carefully remove three ferrite beads and six Teflon washers from the inter-boardconnection wires. Attempt to maintain the position of the three inter-board wires in order tosimplify re-assembly. The digital board may now be extracted by removing four M2.0 machinescrews. Follow a reverse procedure to re-assemble.3.5.5 Frequency Adjustment and Channel SelectionConnect a radio communications test set through a short section of low loss 50 Ω coaxial cable tothe synthesizer module SMB RF output jack (J2). Select the desired channel number via the BCDfrequency selection switches on the MT-3 Transmitter Main board or the MT-3 Receiver IF/Audioboard (or through .the Frequency Programming Module). Turn the power off and back on andwait a few minutes for the oscillator to completely stabilize. It should be noted that the internalsynthesizer TCXO, if installed, operates continuously (regardless of the TX PTT state) wheninstalled in a transmitter.
3-4Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 470 MHzThe measured RF output signal should be within ±1.0 ppm of the specified oscillator frequency atan output level of +5 dBm. Note that unlocked synthesizer operation will be indicated by anunstable or spurious RF output signal. The "Unlocked" red LED will also be illuminated when thePLL is unlocked. Check that the requested channel number is within the frequency range of theparticular synthesizer model. An unlocked condition may be rectified by adjusting the VCO tuningelements as described in the following procedures (no adjustment required for the MultichannelAM Synthesizers). Note that there are variations in alignment procedures between the threesynthesizer family members as described in the following sections.3.5.5.1 VHF OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz VCO AlignmentRefer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagrams and the"OS(R/T)-3H 29 - 71.4 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 of thismanual.Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4 locatedon the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the synthesizertop cover. Using a small standard blade screwdriver, carefully adjust the VCO fine frequency"TUNE" trimmer capacitor C24 until a test point (TP4) voltage of approximately +2.3 Vdc isobtained. PLL loop control voltages below approximately +0.5 Vdc and above approximately+4.5 Vdc will indicate an "out of lock" synthesizer condition.If a test point (TP4) reading of approximately +2.3 Vdc is unattainable through adjustment of C24,then the coarse frequency jumpers, JU2-JU4 require modification in order to pull the VCO tunerange within the adjustment range of fine tuning capacitor C24. The top synthesizer cover must beremoved in order to gain access to the coarse frequency jumpers. The coarse frequency jumpers(JU2-JU4) may be considered to be a selectable binary weighted capacitor element with JU2 beingthe most significant "bit" and JU4 being the least significant "bit". The tuning resolution size is≈12 pF (JU4). If the tuning voltage remains higher than +2.3 Vdc, decrease the tuning jumpersetting by 1 "bit" position and re-adjust C24 in an attempt to achieve +2.3 Vdc at TP4. Forexample, if coarse frequency jumpers JU2-JU4 are all installed and represented by 111 then adecrease by 1 "bit" position (12 pF) is represented by a binary jumper selection of 110; jumperJU4 is not installed and jumpers JU2, JU3 are installed. Continue to decrease the jumper positionone "bit" at a time until the synthesizer regains lock with TP4 adjusted (C24) for +2.3 Vdc. If thetuning voltage remains lower than +2.3 Vdc, increase the jumper setting by 1 "bit" position and re-adjust C24 in an attempt to achieve +2.3 Vdc at TP4. Repeat this procedure until +2.3 Vdc isachieved at TP4.It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels havebeen programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within a +1.0 to +4.0 Vdcrange. Adjust the fine-tuning capacitor C24 to center multiple channel voltages symmetrically about+2.3 Vdc. Channel selections beyond the tuning range capability of the synthesizer will result in

The tuning range capability of all synthesizer models is listed in theSpecifications section (1.3) of this manual.3.5.5.2 VHF OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz AlignmentRefer to the "OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the"OS(R/T)-3A 118 - 159.4 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-5, 4-6 and 4-7 ofthis manual.Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4 locatedon the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the synthesizertop cover. VHF synthesizers operating in the 118 - 159.4 MHz frequency range require nofrequency adjustment as tuning is microprocessor controlled. (The OST-3A128 and OSR-3A149,covering 118-138 MHz and 139.4 - 159.4 MHz respectively, provide full band coverage withouttuning adjustment.)All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage between +3.1 and +3.5 Vdc. Channelselections beyond the tuning range capability of the synthesizer will result in unlocked operationover the temperature range -40C to +60C. The tuning range capability of all synthesizer models islisted in the Specifications section of this manual.3.5.5.3 VHF OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz VCO AlignmentRefer to the "OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz Analog Board Component Layout" diagram and the"OS(R/T)-3H 128 - 174 MHz Analog Board Schematic Diagram" on pages 4-9, 4-10 and 4-11 ofthis manual.Using a high impedance (10 MΩ) DC Voltmeter, measure the PLL control voltage at TP4 locatedon the synthesizer module analog board (top). Access to TP4 is available through the synthesizertop cover. Using a small standard blade screwdriver, carefully adjust the VCO fine frequency"TUNE" trimmer capacitor C24 until a test point (TP4) voltage of approximately +2.3 Vdc isobtained.

Access to TP4 is available through the synthesizertop cover. The UHF synthesizers operating in the 406 - 470 MHz frequency range employintegrated VCO modules having no external frequency adjustment capability. The OST-3H418,OST-3H460 and OSR-3H440 models cover frequencies from 406 - 430 MHz, 450 - 470 MHz and427.4 - 451.4 MHz respectively and provide full band coverage without tuning adjustment. For theOST-3H418, measured PLL control voltages below approximately +0.5 Vdc and aboveapproximately +4.5 Vdc will indicate an “out of lock” condition. For the OSR-3H440 and theOST-3H460, measured PLL control voltages below approximately +1.0 Vdc and aboveapproximately +7.0 Vdc will indicate an “out of lock” condition.It is important to check the loop control voltage at TP4 when multiple synthesizer channels havebeen programmed. All channel selections should result in a TP4 voltage within the +0.5 to+4.5 Vdc range for the OST-3H418. The TP4 voltage for the OSR-3H440 and the OST-3H460should be within the +1.0 to +7.0 Vdc range. Channel selections beyond the tuning rangecapability of the synthesizer will result in unlocked operation. The tuning range capability of allsynthesizer models is listed in the Specifications section of this manual.3.5.5.5 Reference Frequency AlignmentAdjust the synthesizer TCXO fine frequency potentiometer RV1 until the correct output frequencyis achieved. Access to this potentiometer is through an opening in the synthesizer top cover. A RFpower level of approximately +5 dBm should be measured at the synthesizer module outputconnector and the frequency should be within ±1 ppm of the desired operating frequency.Reference frequency adjustments should be made at room temperature (+25°C) after a ten minutestabilization period.
Enhanced AM/FM Synthesizer Instruction Manual OS(R/T)-3(A/H) 29 - 470 MHz 3-73.5.6 Jumper ConfigurationSolder jumpers are clearly marked on both synthesizer digital and analog circuit boards. Refer tothe "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Digital Board Component Layout (Bottom)" diagram on page 4-17 of thismanual and the applicable "OS(R/T)-3(A/H) Analog Board Component Layout (Top)" diagram onpage 4-18 for jumper locations. The following list details the required jumper configuration for thetwo synthesizer operating modes:1)Internal reference. Install jumper JU1-B, on the Analog Board (Standard). The internaltemperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) provides the reference signal with astability of ±1 ppm from -30°C (Optional -40°C) to +60°C.2)External reference input. Install jumper JU1-A and JU2 on the Analog Board. This mode isused in applications requiring better than ±1 ppm frequency stability. An external referencesignal must be provided at synthesizer SMB connector J1.3) Reference Frequency Select. Install jumper JU2 on the Digital Board to select a 10.0 MHzreference frequency. When not installed, the reference frequency is by default 9.6 MHz.JU2 must not be installed when using the internal 9.6 MHz TCXO reference. JU2 is usedby the microcontroller to establish the correct reference frequency division ratio. (Locatedon the Digital Board; The Synthesizer module must be removed to change jumper JU2.)4) AM Multichannel Synthesizer Select. Install jumper JU1 on the Digital Board to select andenable the AM Multichannel Synthesizer with Frequency Select Handle.Caution: Care must be exercised when reinstalling the synthesizer module on the TransmitterMain board or the IF/Audio board.
