Equipment Needed
• A second person is required for alignment between the Model 6 and Model 26.
One person works at the dispatch side (M26) and the other in the remote station
(M6). Having two people is the most efficient method of setting the RX and TX
FFSK levels.
• A multimeter is required for measuring voltage.
• A PC or laptop with a terminal program and a serial port. A terminal program is
required to configure user-programmable parameters and a serial port is required
to complete the data connection.
• A custom programming cable, Zetron part number 709-7208, is included with
new M6/26 systems. This cable is required for programming, however, if jumper
JP12 on the Model 26 rear panel PC board (702-7314) is moved to the “A”
position, a null-modem cable can be used instead.
• An oscilloscope (and/or a Radio Service Monitor) is used for level setting. For
RF-based interfaces, a Radio Service Monitor has the added benefit of sensing
deviation.
• A Lineman (Helper Instruments LM106) or equivalent is used for level setting.
