Transmitter RF Troubleshooting Procedures

After Phoenix is set up using either the AMPS, Cell, or PCS setup procedures, use the

following steps to troubleshoot the transmitter.

1. Using a voltmeter, check to see that all VR2, VR6, and VR1B are on the transmit

system. (See "Tx DC Test Points" on page 22.)

• If any are missing, look for SMD problems around the N7000 and the UEME.

• If SMD is good, replace the UEME.

2. Once all DC voltages are present, check the AGC control voltages. (See "AMPS Tx

Setup"onpage11, "Cell Tx Setup"onpage14, or "PCS Setup"onpage16.)

• If the voltages are incorrect, check the SMD around TX_AGC1 and TX_AGC2.

• If the SMDs are correct, replace the D2800.

3. Using an oscilloscope, check the input modulation BBIQ wave forms at R7021,

R7022, R7023, and R7024. They should all be present with an AC swing of about

500mVpp, with an offset of +1.2V.

• If one or more waveforms are missing, look for SMD problems around these

resistors.

• If the SMD is good, replace the UEM.
