A. General
The HT 1000, MT 2000, MTS 2000, and MTX series
radios have been prepared to meet published specifica-
tions through their manufacturing process, with the use
of laboratory-quality test equipment of highest accuracy.
The recommended field service equipment approaches
the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with a few
exceptions. Accuracy of the equipment must be main-
tained in compliance with the manufacturer's
recommended calibration schedule.
B. Setup
Supply voltage can be connected from the battery
eliminator. The equipment required for alignment proce-
dures is connected as shown in the Radio Alignment
Test Setup diagram.
Initial equipment control settings should be as indi-
cated in the following table, and should hold for all
alignment procedures except as noted in Table 40-4.
Table 40-4. Initial Equipment Control Settings
C. Test Mode
1. RF Test Mode, HT 1000 Radios
When the HT 1000 radio is operating in its normal
environment, the radio's microcontroller controls the
RF channel selection, transmitter key-up, and
receiver muting. However, when the unit is on the
bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it is removed
from its normal environment. It cannot receive com-
mands from its system and, therefore, the internal
microcontroller will not key the transmitter nor
unmute the receiver. This prevents the use of nor-
mal tune-up procedures. To solve this problem a
special routine, called TEST MODE or “air test,” has
been incorporated in the radio.
To enter test mode:
(a) Turn the radio on.
(b) Within ten seconds after the self test is com-
plete, press the monitor button (side button 3,
SB3) five times in succession. After the fifth
press, a tone is emitted to indicate that the rf
test mode has been entered.
(c) Each additional press of SB3 will advance to
the next test channel. (refer to Table 40-6), and
a corresponding set of tones will indicate the
channel.
(d) Pressing SB2 will scroll through and access test
environments as shown in Table 40-5.
NOTE
Transmit into a load when keying a radio under
test.
To exit test mode, turn the radio off then back on.
Table 40-5. Test Environments, HT 1000 Radios
2. Control Head Test Mode, HT 1000 Radios
To check the buttons and the switches, perform the
following tests:
(a) Turn radio on
(b) After the self test is complete, press the monitor
button (side button 3, SB3) five times in succes-
sion, within 10 seconds. After the fifth press, a
tone is emitted to indicate that the RF test mode
has been entered.
(c) Exit the RF test mode and enter the control
head test mode by pressing and holding SB3
for more than three seconds. Upon entering the
control head test mode, a tone is emitted and
the green LED begins flashing. The green LED
continues to flash until the control head test
mode is exited.
NOTE
Return to the RF test mode by pressing and hold-
ing SB3 for more than three seconds. Then
re-enter the control head test mode by pressing
and holding SB3 for more than three seconds.
(d) Test each switch (toggle, rotary, or button-actu-
ated) by changing the position of the switch. A
tone is emitted to indicate a “good test“ each
time a switch position is changed.
NOTES
1. Pressing and releasing a button-actuated
switch are both considered switch-position
changes.
2. No tone when a switch position is changed
indicates a test failure.
