If an “Error” message (and warning beep) appears during the procedure, it normally
indicates improper erasure of the EPROM. Replace it with a fresh one and start from
the beginning. The removed EPROM will need to be cycled through an EPROM
eraser.
6.1.5 EPROM Installation
Warning
Always use a grounding strap and wear an anti-static bracelet when working with sensitive cir-
cuitry or components susceptible to static discharge or transients damage.
1.
Remove power to the radio
2.
Unscrew #1 Pozidriv screw on the front panel to slide out the module.
3.
Unscrew the fourteen #2 Pozidriv screws on the handle side and remove cover.
4.
Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully slide the blade between the EPROM socket and
the chip (IC1) itself. Gently pry the chip away from its base and remove. The removed EPROM
will need to be cycled through an EPROM eraser. Refer to Figure 21 on page 38.
5.
Install the appropriate EPROM by carefully grasping the chip between thumb and index and gently
inserting it with a rocking motion in its socket until well seated.
6.
Select the channel configured in the EPROM as detailed in the next section.
6.1.6 Channel Selection via DIP Switches
Channel selection is done via DIP switches inside each module.
Example: To select channel 5, the DIP switch settings are as shown in Figure 20 below.
Notes:
-
For channel 1 (one), switch #1 must be OFF and switches #2 through #7 must be ON.
-
Always have switch #8 set to OFF.
-
The EPROM and DIP switches locations are identical in both receiver and exciter modules (refer to
Figure 21 and to Figure 22.
