Receiver Alignment applies to Portable radios only.
All radio alignment and board replacement procedures can be accessed
from the SERVICE MENU.
Note:
A radio must be connected to your computer using a RIB and
cables and the radio turned on before you will be permitted to access
the SERVICE screens.
All service screens read and program the radio codeplug directly. You
do NOT have to use GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU functions unless
you are changing or printing data. You will be prompted at each
service screen to save the new values when you exit the screen.

Do NOT switch radios in the middle of any SERVICE
procedure. Always use the EXIT function key (F10) to
return to the MAIN MENU before disconnecting the
radio. Improper exits from service screens may leave
the radio in an improperly configured state, resulting in
seriously degraded radio or system performance. Refer
to your Radio Service Manual for detailed service
procedures.

65 Signalling deviation for DTMF and high-speed Trunking data should be checked whenever the radio is serviced and must be adjusted when any of the modulation circuitry is replaced. Before adjusting signalling deviation, radio compensation/deviation adjustments must be made. No adjustments are required for DPL, PL, or Trunking connect time deviation.

The New Softpot Value is the working value of the reference oscillator
(reference frequency). Refer to your Radio Service Manual for the
Reference Frequency Alignment procedure.
Programming Procedure
1. Press
F6
at the REFERENCE OSCILLATOR screen to key up the
radio.
2. While transmitting, increase/decrease the frequency setting using
the UP/DOWN arrow keys. The radio will transmit on the Test
Mode 1 frequency. A relative adjusted value will be displayed on
the status bar, but the actual transmitter frequency must be
determined from the frequency counter or the service monitor.
3. Measure the actual RF power with a service monitor.
4. Press
F6
to de-key the radio.
5. Press
