VI. Patent And Software Provisions
MOTOROLA will defend, at its own expense, any suit brought against the end user purchaser to the extent that it is based on a claim that the Product or parts infringe a United States patent, and MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against the end user purchaser in any such suit which are attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are conditioned on the following:
A. that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such purchaser of any notice of such
claim;
B. that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such suit and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise; and
C. should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA’s opinion be likely to become, the
subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, that such purchaser will permit MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for such purchaser the right to con­tinue using the Product or parts or to replace or modify the same so that it becomes nonin­fringing or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as established by MOTOROLA.
MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent infringement which is based upon the combination of the Product or parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or devices not furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts thereof.
Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for MOTOROLA certain exclusive rights for copyrighted MOTOROLA software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and distribute copies of such Motorola software. MOTOROLA software may be used in only the Product in which the software was originally embodied and such software in such Product may not be replaced, copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to produce any derivative thereof. No other use including, without limitation, alteration, modification, reproduction, distribution, or reverse engineering of such MOTOROLA software or exercise of rights in such MOTOROLA software is permitted. No license is granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise under MOTOROLA patent rights or copyrights.

1-2 Introduction: Control Head Descriptions
ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus radios are available in five models. Table 1-1 provides a description of basic features for the five models covered in this manual.
1.2.1 FLASHport®
The ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus radios utilize Motorola’s revolutionary FLASHport technology. FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives the radio’s capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications, or buying a new radio. But now, the radio’s features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software, similar to the way a computer can be loaded with different software.
1.3 Control Head Descriptions
1.3.1 General
The control heads used with ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus radios have microprocessor circuitry that operates the standard and optional features built into the system. The control head design allows installation in even the smallest of vehicles. Systems that have many options require more control head buttons, not larger control heads.
The control heads may be field-programmed to add options or alter the information stored in certain areas of its electronic memory.

Introduction: Control Head Descriptions 1-5
Figure 1-5. Typical W9 Pushbutton Control Head
1.3.1.4 Models W4, W5, W7, and W9 Controls
• Power Switch — The power (PWR) switch turns the radio and its accessories on or off. The power switch is part of the rotary volume knob on the W4 model, a push-type switch on the W5 and W7 models, and a slide switch on the right-hand bottom surface of the W9 model.
• Mode Switch — The Mode switch is used for selecting modes and programming menus. The Mode switch is a rotary switch on the W4 model and a rocker switch on the W5, W7, and W9 models. Pressing the right side of this rocker switch increases the mode number. Pressing the left side decreases the mode number. If you press and hold the switch, it scrolls the mode number up or down. The mode names appear in the display window.
• Volume Switch — The Volume switch is used for selecting the volume level, editing names, and making certain radio adjustments. The Volume switch is a rotary switch on the W4 model and a rocker switch on the W5, W7, and W9 models. On the pushbutton models, pressing and releasing the volume switch checks the volume setting. Your display will show “VOLUME_ _” and a number value (0-15). Press and hold the left side to decrease the volume. The number value scrolls up or down to your desired level. The Volume rocker switch also controls the volume level of the public address (PA) and external radio speaker (Ex Rd) options when they are enabled. The display window shows “PA VOL _ _” when public address is on and the Volume rocker switch is pressed.
• Dim Button — The DIM button is used to control the brightness of the display and button backlighting. When you turn on the system, the display comes on at the brightness level it was on before the system was last turned off. Press the DIM button once to reduce the brightness of the display to medium level and twice for low brightness level. Press the DIM button a third time to turn the display and button backlighting off. This is called the “surveillance” mode.
• Home Button — The Home button is used for restoring preprogrammed mode, establishing programmed mode, selecting programming entries, etc. Press the Home button to go to the radio’s preprogrammed “home” mode. On the W7 models, you may use the Home button instead of Mode switch to change modes. Hold the Home button until a beep sounds to enter the configuration state. The display shows an entry prompt. Use the keypad to enter your new mode choice and press the Home button again. Your mode is now changed without scrolling.
• Select Button — The Sel button is used to configure radio options.

1-6 Introduction: Control Head Descriptions
• Option Buttons — The option buttons are used for turning options on and off, such as Phone, Scan, Emergency Call, and Secure.
• Display — The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display’s primary function is to display mode numbers, mode names, volume level, and the status of options. It also functions as an on-off indicator for the entire system and plays an integral role in the operator’s reconfiguration of options. The display is 8 characters on W4, W5, and W7 models; 11 characters on the W9 model.
• XMIT and BUSY Indicators — The XMIT indicator lights when the radio is transmitting. The BUSY indicator lights when the selected channel is busy.
• Scan Indicators — When scan operation detects activity on a non-priority (NON-PRI) channel, the NON-PRI indicator light comes on. Activity on a second priority channel causes the priority (PRI) indicator to light. First priority channel activity causes PRI to flash.
• 12-Button Keypad (W7 and W9) — The keypad is used to change the status of options and for entering numbers. Several keys serve multiple functions. See the ASTRO Digital Spectra or Digital Spectra Plus User’s Guide for a complete description of keypad operation.
-Site (Ste - #1 key) — Forces the radio to scan for a new site when the automatic multiple- site select (AMSS) feature for wide-area coverage is in use.
- Page (2 or 2Pge - #2 Key) — Initiates a Call Alert page/enters Call ID list programming.
-Lock (Lck - #3 key) — Locks the radio onto the current site when the AMSS feature is in use.

Chapter 2 Basic Maintenance
2.1 Introduction
This section of the manual describes preventive maintenance, handling precautions, and some basic repair procedures and techniques. Each of these topics provides information vital to the successful operation and maintenance of your rad io.
2.2 Preventive Maintenance
Radios are shipped from the factory with a worst-case frequency error of ±200 Hz for VHF, ±300 Hz for UHF, and ±500 Hz for 800 MHz. These specifications are tighter than the most stringent FCC­required specifications of 2 ppm (parts per million) for both VHF and UHF, and 1.5 ppm for 800 kHz, within which the radio will operate to specification.
2.2.1 Reference Oscillator
For radios that have been in storage for over six months from the factory ship date, the reference oscillator should be checked when the radio is initially deployed to the field. It is strongly recommended that the reference oscillator be checked every time the radio is serviced or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
The crystal contained in the reference oscillator naturally drifts over time due to its aging characteristic. Periodic (annual) adjustment of the reference oscillator is important for proper radio operation.
Improper adjustment can result in both poor performance and interference with other users operating on adjacent channels.
A recommended test setup and tuning procedure is detailed in Chapter 6. Radio Alignment Procedure. The frequency counter used for this procedure must have a stability of 0.1 ppm or better.
2.2.2 Inspection
Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external controls and switches are functional. A detailed inspection of the interior electronic circuitry is not needed.
2.2.3 Cleaning
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the radio. External surfaces include the control head and radio chassis. These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime. Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled for servicing or repair.
The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a mild dishwashing detergent in water. T he only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed circuit boards and their components is isopropyl alcohol (70% by volume).

2-2 Basic Maintenance: Handling Precautions
2.2.4 Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces
The detergent-water solution should be applied sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to work all loose dirt away from the radio. A soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth or tissue should be used to remove the solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices.
2.2.5 Cleaning Internal Circuit Boards and Components
Isopropyl alcohol may be applied with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge embedded or caked materials located in hard-to-reach areas. The brush stroke should direct the dislodged material out and away from the inside of the radio.
Alcohol is a high-wetting liquid and can carry contamination into unwanted places if an excessive quantity is used. Make sure that controls or tunable components are not soaked with the liquid. Do not use high-pressure air to hasten the drying process, since this could cause the liquid to puddle and collect in unwanted places.
Upon completion of the cleaning process, use a soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl alcohol to the frame, front cover, or back cover.
NOTE: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).
2.3 Handling Precautions
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, and other high-technology devices, are used in this family of radios. While the attributes of these devices are many, their characteristics make them susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or high-voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair. Handling precautions are mandatory for this radio, and are especially important in low­humidity conditions. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without observing the following handling precautions:
• Eliminate static generators (plastics, Styrofoam, etc.) in the work area.
• Remove nylon or double-knit polyester jackets, roll up long sleeves, and remove or tie back loose-hanging neckties.
• Store and transport all static-sensitive devices in ESD-protective containers.
• Disconnect all power from the unit before ESD-sensitive components are removed or inserted unless otherwise noted.
• Use a static-safeguarded workstation, through the use of an anti-static kit (Motorola part number 01-80386A82). This kit includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a static-control table mat and a static-control floor mat.
NOTE:Be sure that the table and floor mats are properly grounded.
When these items are not readily available, observing the following techniques will minimize the chance of damage:
The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Aer oso l spr ay s, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals should be avoided.

Chapter 3 Basic Theory of Operation
3.1 Introduction
The following theory will help isolate the problem to a particular board. Using circuit board replacement as the basic service approach maximizes the working time of the radio.
3.2 General Overview
The ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus radios are wideband, synthesized, fixed-tuned radios. The ASTRO Digital Spectra is available with VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz bands. The ASTRO Digital Spectra Plus is available with VHF and 800 MHz bands only. All ASTRO Digital Spectra radios are capable of both analog operation and ASTRO mode (digital) in 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, 25 kHz, or 30 kHz bandwidths.
The ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus radios consist of seven major assemblies, six of which are in the main radio chassis. They are:
• Control Head Assembly (Dash- or Remote-Mount) — is connected, directly or remotely, to the front of the transceiver by the interconnect board or remote interconnect board and control cable. This assembly contains a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display, VF driver, microprocessor and serial bus interface.
• Power Amplifier (PA) — contains antenna switch, directional coupler/detector, and amplifier(s).
• Front-End Receiver Assembly — contains pre-amplifier, preselector, mixer, and injection filter.
• Radio-Frequency (RF) Board — contains receiver IF amplifier, demodulator, synthesizer logic and filtering circuitry, and digital receiver back-end integrated circuit (IC).
• VCO/Buffer/Divider Board — contains voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), divider, receive and transmit buffers.
• Command Board — contains power control/regulator, digital-to-analog (D/A) IC, serial bus inter­face, and audio power amplifier (PA).
• VOCON (Vocoder/Controller) Board (Digital Spectra radio) — contains the microcomputer unit (MCU), its associated memory and memory management integrated circuit, and the digital-sig­nal processor (DSP) and its associated memories and support IC.
For the ASTRO Digital Spectra Plus radio, the VOCON board architecture is based on a Dual-Core processor, which contains a DSP Core, an MCORE 210 Microcontroller Core, and custom peripherals. The board also contains memory ICs and DSP-support ICs.

3-2 Basic Theory of Operation: Analog Mode of Operation
3.3 Analog Mode of Operation
3.3.1 Receive Operation
When the radio is receiving, the signal comes from the antenna/antenna-switch on the power amplifier board to the front-end receiver assembly. The signal is then filtered, amplified, and mixed with the first local-oscillator signal generated by the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The resulting intermediate frequency (IF) signal is fed to the IF circuitry on the RF board, where it is again filtered and amplified. This amplified signal is passed to the digital back-end IC, where it is mixed with the second local oscillator to create the second IF at 450 kHz. The analog IF is processed by an analog­to-digital (A/D) converter, where it is converted to a digital bit stream and divided down to a baseband signal, producing digital samples. These samples are converted to current signals and sent to the digital-signal processor (DSP)-support IC. The DSP-support IC digitally filters and discriminates the signal, and passes it to the DSP. The DSP decodes the information in the signal and identifies the appropriate destination for it. For a voice signal, the DSP routes the digital voice data to the DSP­support IC for conversion to an analog signal. The DSP-support IC then presents the signal to the audio power amplifier on the command board, which drives the speaker. For signaling information, the DSP decodes the message and passes it to the microcom put er.
3.3.2 Transmit Operation
When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is passed to the command board limiter, then to the DSP-support IC where the signal is digitized. The DSP-support IC passes digital data to the DSP where pre-emphasis and low-pass (splatter) filtering are done. The DSP returns this signal to the DSP-support IC where it is reconverted into an analog signal and scaled for application to the voltage-controlled oscillator as a modulation signal. Transmitted signaling information is accepted by the DSP from the microcomputer, coded appropriately, and passed to the DSP-support IC, which handles it the same as a voice signal. Modulation information is passed to the synthesizer along the modulation line. A modulated carrier is provided to the power amplifier (PA) board, which transmits the signal under dynamic power control.
3.4 ASTRO Mode of Operation
In the ASTRO mode (digital mode) of operation, the transmitted or received signal is limited to a discrete set of deviation levels, instead of continuously varying. The receiver handles an ASTRO­mode signal identically to an analog-mode signal up to the point where the DSP decodes the received data.
In the ASTRO receive mode, the DSP uses a specifically defined algorithm to recover information. In the ASTRO transmit mode, microphone audio is processed the same as an analog mode with the
exception of the algorithm the DSP uses to encode the information. This algorithm will result in deviation levels that are limited to discrete levels.
3.5 Control Head Assembly
3.5.1 Display (W4, W5, and W7 Models)
The control head assembly for W4, W5, and W7 models has an 8-character, alphanumeric, vacuum fluorescent display. The anodes and the grids operate at approximately 34 Vdc when on and 0 Vdc when off. The filament operates at approximately 24 Vrms. The voltage for the display is generated by a fixed-frequency, variable duty-cycle controlled “flyback” voltage converter. The switching frequency is approximately 210 kHz. The internal microprocessor controls the voltage converter, which provides approximately 3.7 Vdc to the vacuum fluorescent (VF) driver and approximately 2.4 Vrms to the VF display.
Page 53
6881076C20-E February 3, 2003
Basic Theory of Operation: Control Head Assembly 3-3
3.5.2 Display (W9 Model)
The control head assembly for a W9 model has an 11-character, alphanumeric, vacuum fluorescent display. It needs three separate voltages to operate: the cathode needs 35V to accelerate electrons to the anode; the grid needs 40V to totally shut off current flow; the filament needs 3.8 Vrms at 80 mA. These voltages are obtained from the transformer on the display controller board.
3.5.3 Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) Display Driver
This VF display driver receives ASCII data from the VOCON board, decodes it into display data, and then scans the display with the data. Once properly loaded into the display, data is refreshed without any further processor action. The display driver is periodically reset by the actions of transistors that watch the clock line from the microprocessor to the display driver. When the clock line is held low for more than 600 milliseconds, the display driver resets and new display data follows.
3.5.4 Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) Voltage Source (W9 Model)
Voltage for the VF display is generated by a fixed frequency, variable-duty cycle driven, flyback voltage converter. An emitter-coupled astable multivibrator runs at approximately 150 kHz. The square wave output from this circuit is integrated to form a triangle that is applied to the non-inverting input of half an integrated circuit (IC).
During start up, the inverting input is biased at 3.7V. A transistor is on while the non-inverting input voltage is below 3.7V. This allows current to flow in a transformer, building a magnetic field. When the triangle wave exceeds 3.7V, the transistor turns off and the magnetic field collapses, inducing negative current in the transformer.
This current flow charges two capacitors. As the voltage on one of the capacitors increases beyond 35V, a diode begins to conduct, pulling the integrated circuit’s inverting input below 3.7V. This decreases the cycle time to produce the 35V. The 41V supply is not regulated, but it tracks the 35V supply.
Similarly, the ac supply for VF filament is not regulated, but is controlled to within one volt by an inductor on the display board.
3.5.5 Controls and Indicators
The control head assembly processes all the keypad (button) inputs and visual indicators through the microprocessor. Some of the buttons double as function keys for radio options. All buttons are backlit to allow operation in low light. Refer to Chapter 1. Introduction (page 1-3 and page 1-5) for a functional description of each control switch, button, or indicator.
3.5.6 Status LEDs
These LEDs are driven by the display driver as though they were decimal points on the VF display. Level shifting transistors are required for this since the display driver uses 39 Vdc for control signals.
3.5.7 Backlight LEDs
The microprocessor operates the backlight LEDs. A transistor supplies base current to the individual LED driver transistors. The driver transistors act as constant current sources to the LEDs. Some backlight LEDs are connected to a thermistor. This circuit allows more current to flow through these LEDs at room temperature and reduces current as the temperature rises.

3-4 Basic Theory of Operation: Power Amplifier
3.5.8 Vehicle Interface Port (VIP)
3.5.8.1 Remote-Mount
The VIPs allow the control head to operate outside circuits and to receive inputs from outside the control head. There are three VIP outputs that are used for relay control. There are also three VIP inputs that accept inputs from switches. See the cable kit section for typical connections of VIP input switches and VIP output relays.
The VIP output pins are located on the back of the control head below the area labeled “VIP.” These connections are used to control relays. One end of the relay should be connected to switched B+, while the other side is connected to a software-controlled on/off switch inside the control head. The relay can be normally on or normally off depending on how the VIP outputs are configured. The function of these VIP outputs can be defined by field programming the radio. Typical applications for VIP outputs are external horn/lights alarm and horn ring transfer relay control.
3.5.8.2 Dash-Mount
The VIP outputs are driven by a serial-to-parallel shift register. The output transistors are capable of sourcing 300mA current. Primarily, these transistors control external relays. The relay is connected between the collector and switched B+.
Each VIP input transistor is connected to a dedicated input port through transistors used for input protection. These VIP inputs are connected to ground with either normally open or normally closed switches.
3.5.9 Power Supplies
The +5V supply is a three-terminal regulator IC to regulate the 12V SWB+ down for the digital logic hardware.
3.5.10 Ignition Sense Circuits
A transistor senses the vehicle ignition’s state, disabling the radio when the ignition is off. For negative-ground systems, the orange lead is typically connected to the fuse box (+12V).
3.6 Power Amplifier
The power amplifier (PA) is a multi-stage, discrete-transistor RF amplifier consisting of the following:
• Low-level power controlling stage
•Drivers
• Final amplifier
• Directional coupler
• Antenna switch
• Harmonic filter
3.6.1 Gain Stages
The first stage buffers the RF signal, filters harmonics, and acts as a variable amplifier. All of the amplifying stages are matched using transmission lines, capacitors, and inductors and are supplied with dc from either A+, keyed 9.4V , or 9.6V sources. Following the last gain stage, PIN diodes switch the signal flow either from the antenna to the receiver, or from the last gain stage to the antenna.
Page 55
6881076C20-E February 3, 2003
Basic Theory of Operation: Front-End Receiver Assembly 3-5
3.6.2 Power Control
A directional coupler and detector network controls power. It senses the forward power from the last gain stage and feeds the detected voltage back to the command board control circuitry, where it is compared to a reference voltage set during power-set procedures. The dc feed voltage is corrected and supplied to the “controlled” stage of the power amplifier. Circuitry on the power amplifier board controls the gain of the first stage and is proportional to the dc control voltage.
3.6.3 Circuit Protection
Current and temperature sensing circuitry on the power amplifier board feed sensed voltages to the command board for comparison. If the command board suspects a fault condition, it overrides the power control function and cuts the power back to a level that is safe for the conditions.
3.6.4 DC Interconnect
The ribbon cable connector carries sensed voltages for power and protection to the command board. It also carries A+ feed to the command board for distribution throughout the internal transceiver chassis and carries control voltage from the command board to the power amplifier board.
The rear battery connector carries A+ from the battery to the power amplifier board. The red lead goes directly to the A+ terminal on the PA board. The black lead from the battery connector ties to the chassis, and connection to the power amplifier board is made through the board mounting screws.
A+ ground connection for the internal transceiver chassis is through the RF coax ground connectors and through the mechanical connection of the power amplifier heatsink to the rest of the radio. During test conditions in which the power amplifier assembly (board and heatsink) is physically disconnected from the rest of the radio, it is acceptable to rely on the coax cable connections to carry ground to the internal chassis.
3.7 Front-End Receiver Assembly
The receiver front-end consists of a preselector, a mixer circuit, and an injection filter. The receiver injection (1st local oscillator) comes from the VCO assembly through a coax cable. The injection filter is either fixed-tuned or tuned at the factory depending upon the bandsplit. The output of the filter is connected to the mixer.
The preselector is a fixed-tuned filter. The receiver signal is fed to the preselector from the antenna switch in the PA for the 800 MHz radios, or the preamp output for VHF and UHF. The signal is then sent to the mixer integrated circuit where it is connected to the mixer transistor. The receiver injection is also fed to this point. The mixer output is at the 1st IF center frequency of 109.65MHz. This signal is sent to the 1st IF on the RF board through a coaxial cable.
3.8 Radio Frequency (RF) Board
The RF board contains the common synthesizer circuits and dual IF receiver and demodulation circuits. A 4-pole crystal filter at 109.65MHz provides first IF selectivity. For HRN6014D, HRN6020C, HRN6019C, HRN4009D, HRN4010C, and later RF board kits, two 2-pole crystal filters provide first IF selectivity at 109.65MHz. The output of the filter circuit is fed directly to the custom digital back­end circuit module. An amplifier (at 109.65MHz), the second mixer, the second IF amplifiers (at 450 kHz), the IF digital-to-analog converter, and the baseband down-converter are part of the digital backend circuit module. The digital backend circuit module also converts a 2.1MHz reference to a
2.4MHz clock for the DSP support circuit module.

February 3, 2003 6881076C20-E
3-6 Basic Theory of Operation: Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
Synthesizing for the first and second VCO is performed by the prescaler and synthesizer ICs. These ICs are programmed through a serial data bus from signals generated on the VOCON board. A dc voltage, generated on the command board, sets the synthesizer’s reference oscillator frequency of
16.8MHz. This voltage is controlled by the digital-to-analog converter (D/A), and is the only element of the RF board requiring alignment.
The second local oscillator runs at 109.2MHz (low-side injection), and consists of a VCO that is frequency-locked to the reference oscillator. Part of the local oscillator’s circuitry is in the prescaler IC.
A clamp and rectifier circuit on the RF board generates a negative dc voltage of 4 volts (nominal) for increasing the total voltage available to the first VCO and second local oscillator’s VCO. The circuit receives a 300 kHz square wave output from the prescaler IC, then clamps, rectifies, and filters the signal for use as the negative steering line for the two VCOs.
3.9 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
3.9.1 VHF Radios
The voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) assembly utilizes a common-gate FET in a Colpitts configuration as the gain device. The LC tank circuit’s capacitive portion consists of a varactor bank and a laser-trimmed stub capacitor. The inductive portion consists of microstrip transmission line resonators. The stub capacitor serves to tune out build variations. Tuning is performed at the factory and is not field adjustable. The varactor network changes the oscillator frequency when the dc voltage of the steering line changes. The microstrip transmission lines are shifted in and out of the tank by PIN diodes for coarse frequency jumps. A third varactor is used in a modulation circuit to modulate the oscillator during transmit.
The VCO output is coupled to a transistor for amplification and for impedance buffering. The output of this stage passes through a low-pass filter where the signal is split into three paths. One path feeds back to the synthesizer prescaler; the other two provide injection for the RX and TX amplification strings. The receive injection signal is further amplified and passed to the RX front-end injection filter. The transmit signal goes to an ECL divider, which divides the signal by two. The signal is amplified and buffered and then injected into the transmitter’s low-level amplifier.
A 5V regulator provides power to the divider. All transmit circuitry operates from keyed 9.4 volts to conserve current drain while the radio is receiving. A transistor/resistor network drives the PIN diodes in the VCO tank. These driver networks provide forward bias current to turn diodes on and reverse the bias voltage to turn the diodes off. AUX 1 AND AUX 2 lines control the PIN diode driver networks.
3.9.2 UHF and 800 MHz Radios
The VCO assembly generates variable frequency output signals controlled by the two steering lines. The negative steering line increases the tuning range of the VCO, while the positive steering line affects the synthesizer control loop to incrementally change the frequency.
The VCO generates a signal in the required frequency range. For UHF and 800 MHz radios, this signal is fed to the doubler/buffer circuit which, in turn, doubles the VCO output frequency and amplifies it to the power level required by the TX buffer and RX mixer. A PIN diode switch routes the signal to the TX port when the keyed 9.4V is high. Otherwise, the signal is routed to the RX port. The VCO assembly’s synthesizer feedback output is the same as the doubler output frequency.
3.10 Command Board
The serial input/output IC provides command board functions including buffers for PTT, channel active, squelch mute, busy, and data transmission, and logic functions for switched B+, emergency, reset, and power control.
Page 57
6881076C20-E February 3, 2003
Basic Theory of Operation: VOCON (Vocoder/Controller) Board 3-7
The regulator and power control circuits include an unswitched +5V discrete circuit and the regulator/ power control IC, which produces both switched +5V and 9.6V. The unswitched +5V source is used as a reference for its switched +5V source. Filtered unswitched +5V is used for the microcontrol circuits. Switched +5V and 9.6V are controlled by a digital transistor from the serial input/output IC. The power control circuitry receives power set and limit inputs from the digital-to-analog IC, and feedback from the RF power amplifier. Based on those inputs, the power control circuitry produces a control voltage to maintain a constant RF power level to the antenna.
The reset circuits consist of the power-on reset, high/low battery voltage reset, and the external bus system reset. The reset circuits allow the microcomputer to recover from an unstable situation; for example, no battery on the radio, battery voltage too high or too low, and remote devices on the external bus not communicating. Communication in RS-232 protocol is provided by an IC which interfaces to the rear accessory connector (J2).
3.11 VOCON (Vocoder/Controller) Board
The VOCON board, located on the top side of the radio chassis, contains a microcontrol unit (MCU) with its flash memory, DSP, and DSP-support ICs. The VOCON board controls receive/transmit frequencies, the display, and various radio functions, using either direct logic control or serial communication to external devices. The connector J801 provides interface between the encryption module and the VOCON board for encrypting voice messages.
3.11.1 ASTRO Digital Spectra
The VOCON board executes a stored program located in the FLASH ROM. Data is transferred to and from memory by the microcontrol unit data bus. The memory location from which data is read, or to which data is written, is selected by the address lines.
The support-logic IC acts as an extension of the microcontrol unit by providing logic functions such as lower address latch, reset, memory address decoding, and additional control lines for the radio. The VOCON board controls a crystal-pull circuit to adjust the crystal oscillator frequency on the microcontrol unit, so that the E-clock harmonics do not cause interference with the receive channel.
The vocoder circuitry on the VOCON board is powered by a switched +5 volt regulator located on the command board. This voltage is removed from the board when the radio is turned off by the control head switch.
The DSP IC performs signaling, voice encoding/decoding, audio filtering, and volume control functions. This IC performs Private-Line/Digital Private-Line (PL/DPL) encode and alert-tone generation. The DSP IC transmits pre-emphasize analog signals and applies a low-pass (splatter) filter to all transmitted signals. It requires a 33MHz crystal to function. An 8 kHz interrupt signal generated by the DSP-support IC is also required for functionality. This device is programmed using parallel programming from the microcontrol unit and the DSP-support IC.
The DSP-support IC performs analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions on audio signals. It contains attenuators for volume, squelch, deviation, and compensation, and it executes receiver filtering and discrimination. The IC requires a 2.4MHz clock to function (generated by the digital back-end IC) and is programmed by the microcontrol unit’s SPI bus.
3.11.2 ASTRO Digital Spectra Plus
The VOCON board, located on the top-side of the chassis, contains a Dual-Core processor, which, in turn, contains a DSP Core, an MCORE Microcontroller Core, and custom peripherals. The board also contains memory ICs and DSP support ICs.

3-8 Basic Theory of Operation: VOCON (Vocoder/Controller) Board
The VOCON board controls receive/transmit frequencies, the display, and various radio functions, using either direct logic control or serial communication to external devices. The connector J801 provides an interface between the encryption module and the VOCON board for encrypting voice messages.
The VOCON board executes a stored program located in the FLASH ROM. Data is transferred to and from memory by the microcontroller unit data bus. The memory location from which data is read, or to which data is written, is selected by the address lines.
The vocoder circuitry on the VOCON board is powered by two regulated voltage supplies: 3.0 Vdc and 1.8 Vdc. These regulated supplies are powered by a switched 5 Vdc regulator located on the command board. This 5 Vdc supply also powers some vocoder circuitry. This voltage is removed from the board when the radio is turned off by the control head switch.
The DSP Core inside the Dual-Core processor performs signaling, voice encoding/decoding, audio filtering, and volume control functions. This core performs Private-Line/Digital Private-Line (PL/DPL) encode and alert-tone generation. The DSP Core transmits pre-emphasized analog signals and applies a low-pass (splatter) filter to all transmitted signals. The Dual-Core processor requires a
16.8MHz and a 32 kHz clock to function. The DSP-support ICs perform analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversions on audio signals.
They contain attenuators for volume, squelch, deviation, and compensation. The receiver interface IC requires a 2.4MHz clock to function (generated by the digital back-end IC) and is programmed by the microcontroller unit’s SPI bus.

All SERVICE screens read and program the radio codeplug directly; you do NOT have to use the RSS GET/SAVE functions to use the SERVICE menus.
6.2.2 Softpot
The SERVICE screens introduce the concept of the softpot, an analog SOFTware-controlled POTentiometer used for adjusting all transceiver alignment controls.
Each SERVICE screen provides the capability to increase or decrease the softpot value with the keyboard UP/DOW N arro w keys respec tive ly. A grap hical scal e is d ispla yed in dic ating the m ini mum , maximum, and proposed value of the softpot, as shown in
Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Softpot Concept
Adjusting the softpot value sends information to the radio to increase (or decrease) dc voltage in the corresponding circuit. For example, pressing the UP arrow key at the Reference Oscillator screen instructs the radio’s microcomputer to increase the voltage across a varactor in the reference oscillator, which increases the frequency.
In ALL cases, the softpot value is just a relative number corresponding to a digital-to-analog (D/A) generated voltage in the radio.
Perform the following alignment procedures in the sequence indicated. NOTE: Some of the following screens may vary depending upon the radio under test and the version
of radio service software you are using. Refer to your radio service software user’s guide.

Radio Alignment Procedure: RSS 6-3
6.2.3 Reference Oscillator Alignment
Radios are shipped from the factory with a worst-case frequency error of ±200 Hz for VHF, ±300 Hz for UHF, and ±500 Hz for 800 MHz. These specifications are tighter than the more stringent FCC requirement of 1.5 ppm for all bands.
For radios that have been in storage for over six months from the factory ship date, the reference oscillator should be checked when the radio is initially deployed to the field. It is strongly recommended that the reference oscillator be checked every time the radio is serviced or at least once a year, whichever comes first.
The crystal contained in the reference oscillator naturally drifts over time due to its aging characteristic. Periodic (annual) adjustment of the reference oscillator is important for proper radio operation.
Improper adjustment can result in both poor performance and interference with other users operating on adjacent channels.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Modulation Analyzer.
1. Initial set up using the R-2670 Communication Analyzer:
- RF Control: MONITOR
- B/W: WB
- Freq: RSS frequency under test
- Attenuation: 20dB
- Mon RF in: RF I/O
- Meter: RF Display
- Mode: STD
- Input Level: uV or W
- Display: Bar Graphs
- Squelch: Mid-range or adjust as necessary
2. Initial set up using the 8901_ Series Modulation Analyzer:
- Press the green Automatic Operation button on the analyzer.
- Press the FREQ key.
- Type 7.1 followed by the SPCL button to set the 8901_ modulation analyzer for maximum accuracy.
3. Read the radio using the RSS.
4. From the SERVICE MENU, press F2 to select the TRANSMITTER ALIGNMENT MENU.
5. Press F2 again to select the REFERENCE OSCILLATOR alignment screen (

6.2.6 Transmit Deviation Balance (Compensation) Alignment
NOTE: Compensation alignment is only required after replacing (or servicing) the command board,
VOCON (vocoder/controller) board, RF board, or the VCO board.
Compensation alignment balances the modulation sensitivity of the VCO and reference modulation (synthesizer low-frequency port) lines. The compensation algorithm is critical to the operation of signaling schemes that have very-low-frequency components (for example, DPL) and could result in distorted waveforms if improperly adjusted.
Compensation values are adjusted at the different test frequencies to achieve a flat VCO modulation sensitivity with respect to the RF frequency and with respect to the low frequency response of the synthesizer.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Series Modulation Analyzer. The R-2670 analyzer is recommended.
1. Initial set up using the R-2670 Communication Analyzer:
- Connect a BNC cable between the “DEMOD OUT” port and the “VERT/SINAD DIST/DMM
COUNTER IN” port on the R-2670.
-Press the SPF key on the R-2670 to display the “SPECIAL FUNCTIONS MENU.” Move the
cursor to “High Pass,”and select 5 Hz via the soft key menu. Select 20 kHz for the “Low Pass” setting.
- In the “RF Control” section of the R-2670, enter the frequency displayed on the RSS screen
(choose a test frequency from the list of frequencies displayed under Transmit Deviation Balance [Compensation] in RSS). Move the cursor to the “B/W” setting and select “WIDE +/- 100 kHz” via the soft key menu.
- Place the R-2670 cursor in the “Display” zone. Select “AC VOLTS” on the soft key menu.
Move the cursor to the “Range” setting and select “AUTO.”
2. Initial set up using the 8901_ Series Modulation Analyzer:
- Press the FM MEASUREMENT button. (The “Error 03-in put lev el too low” indication is
normal until an input signal is applied.)

6.2.8 Bit Error Rate (BER) Performance Check
This check tests the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the radio’s receiver at a desired frequency. Required equipment and software: R-2670 system analyzer, with P25 option; IBM PC-compatible
computer, RSS In Generate mode, the R-2670 system analyzer modulates the RF carrier with a 1011Hz tone test
pattern to test the Unit Under Test (UUT) receiver. The test pattern received by the UUT is compared in the UUT with a stored version of the test pattern to compute a BER.
1. Connect the RF Input port of the UUT to the RF IN/OUT port of the analyzer.
2. Set up the R-2670 as follows:
- Place the cursor in the RF Zone, and configure the analyzer as follows: RF control: Generate Preset: B/W: NB Freq: Desired test frequency; for example, 851.0625MHz Output Level: -50.0 dBm Gen RF Out: RF I/O
- Place the cursor on the Mode field in the Display Zone.
- Select PROJECT 25 STD.
- Set the METER field to RF DISPLAY.
- Place the cursor on the CODE field in the Audio Zone.
- Select the 1011 Hz PAT softkey. This generates a 1011Hz tone test pattern. If this pattern is received correctly by the UUT, the measured BER should be zero.
- Set the deviation in the Audio Zone as PROJ25Dev: 2.83 kHz ~.
3. Using the RSS, configure the UUT as follows:
- In the RSS Main Menu, press F2 to select SERVICE: Alignment.
-Press F5 to select Performance Testing.
-Press F2 to select Bit Error Rate.
- Enter the desired test frequency in the Rx Frequency (MHz) field; for example,
851.0625MHz.
- Set the Modulation Type to 12.5 kHz/C4FM.
- Set the BER Integration Time (sec) to not less than 7.200.
-Press F6 (Start/Stop) to begin the test.
4. Monitor the radio’s received BER (%) results on the computer.
5. Reduce the analyzer output level to achieve a standard Bit Error Rate of 5%. The analyzer RF output level should be within the SINAD specification of the UUT.
6.3 ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus Tuner Software
A personal computer (PC) and Tuner Software are required to align the radio. Please refer to the CPS Programming Installation Guide (Motorola part number 6881095C44) for installation and setup procedures for the software. To perform the alignment procedures, the radio must be connected to the computer and to a universal test set, as shown in the following figure.

Oscillator screen instructs the radio’s microcomputer to increase the voltage across a varactor in
the reference oscillator, which increases the frequency. In ALL cases, the softpot value is just a relative number corresponding to a digital-to-analog (D/A)
generated voltage in the radio.
Digital Spectra only: Each Digital Spectra tuning screen contains a Program button. Pressing the Program button sets only the softpot value associated with the currently selected frequency, so it is necessary to press the Program button after tuning each softpot at each and every frequency.
Digital Spectra Plus only: Each Digital Spectra tuning screen contains a Program All button.
Pressing th e Program All button sets all softpot values shown on the screen at the same time, which makes it possible to first adjust all the softpot values and then press the Program All button to set the values before leaving a screen. Pressing the Program All button more than once has no adverse effect on the new values.
Perform the following procedures in the sequence indicated. NOTE: Some of the following screens may vary depending on the radio under test and the version of

6.3.3 Transmit Power Alignment
Transmit Power alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the transceiver board.
This alignment procedure adjusts the transmit power of the radio and must be performed for two different power levels, at multiple frequencies for each power level, to allow for proper alignment across the entire RF band. The RF band is divided into frequency zones with a calibration point (value) in each zone.
Notes
• The same softpot attenuation value will result in DIFFERENT radio output power levels at
different frequencies.
• All power measurements are to be made at the antenna port.
1. Select the TX Power (High, Mid, or Low) alignment screen. The screen will indicate the transmit frequencies to be used. See
Figure 6-14.

6.3.4 Transmit Current Limit Alignment
This procedure is required for mobile radios only. Transmit Current Limit adjustment is required after replacing (or servicing) the RF Board.
This alignment procedure limits the transmitter current drain of the radio.
1. Click on the PTT Toggle button to make the radio transmit.
2. While transmitting, measure the current drain at each of the test frequencies.
3. Re-select the frequency which had the highest current reading (This only needs to be done on a single frequency since all other frequencies will be adjusted automatically).
4. Adjust the softpot value by manipulating the slider bar, incrementing the New Softpot Value spin box, or directly entering the desired value into the New Softpot Value spin box. Using a service monitor to measure transmit power, decrease the softpot value from its maximum until the measured transmit power begins to drop.
5. Increase the softpot value by one unit.
6. Press the Program (Digita l Spectra) or Pr ogram All (Digital Spectra Plus) button to save the tuned value in the radio.

6.3.5 Transmit Deviation Balance (Compensation) Alignment
This alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the VOCON board or the transceiver board.
This alignment procedure balances the modulation contributions of the low- and high-frequency portions of a baseband signal. Proper alignment is critical to the operation of signaling schemes that have very low frequency components (for example, DPL) and could result in distorted waveforms if improperly adjusted.
Page 93
6881076C20-E February 3, 2003
Radio Alignment Procedure: ASTRO Digital Spectra and Digital Spectra Plus Tuner Software 6-19
This procedure needs to be performed at multiple frequencies to allow for proper alignment across the entire RF band. The RF band is divided into frequency zones with a calibration point (value) in each zone.
Proper alignment requires a modulation analyzer or meter with a frequency response to less than 10Hz modulating frequency. The modulation analyzer settings during this test should be set for average deviation, a 15 kHz low-pass filter, no de-emphasis, and no high-pass filter, if these settings are supported.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Series Modulation Analyzer. The method of choice is the R-2670 analyzer.

6.3.7 Bit Error Rate (BER) Test
This screen is used to test the Bit Error Rate (BER) of the radio’s receiver at a desired frequency and contains the following fields:
• Rx Frequency:
This field selects the Receive Frequency directly in MHz.
• Test Pattern:
This field selects the Digital test pattern — TIA. Choices are: Standard Tone Test Pattern (framed 1011) and Standard Interface Test Pattern (CCITT V.52).
• Modulation Type:
This field represents the digital modulation type of the incoming signal on which BER is to be calculated.
• Continuous Operation:
This field allows the user to make the BER test repeat indefinitely. A selection of Yes will cause the radio to calculate BER on a continuous basis and update the results on this screen after each integration time. A selection of No will cause the BER test to execute for only one sample of the integration time and then update the display.
NOTE:When Continuous Operation = Yes, all fields will be grayed out while test is in
progress. They will be enabled when the test is complete, or if the STOP button is pressed.
When Continuous Operation = No, a wait cursor will be displayed while the test is in progress and return to normal when the test is done.
•Audio:
This field allows the user to select the audio output during a test. Selecting Internal will cause the radio's built-in speaker to unmute to any signals at the desired frequency that are present during the test. Selecting External will route the same signal to the radio’s accessory connector audio output. Selecting Mute will disable the audio output.
• Integration Time:
This field represents the amount of time over which the Bit Error Rate is to be calculated. The range is from 0.360 to 91.8 seconds in increments of 0.360 seconds.

7-2 Encryption: Load an Encryption Key
• The secure status annunciator not lit (OFF) indicates that the transmitted signal is non­encrypted.
Whether the current personality is strapped for secure or clear, the secure status annunciator correctly displays the transmit operation as being either secure (encrypted) or clear (non-encrypted).
NOTE: You cannot change from secure to clear while the PTT button is pressed. The radio will
generate an illegal tone and the transmission will be terminated.
Secure-equipped radios automatically determine whether a secure or clear voice message is being received. This allows you to receive either type of message without having to reset the programmable secure button.
7.1.4 Secure Emergency Operation
Clear or secure emergency-call operation is determined by the programming of the selected mode (or talkgroup) or the default emergency mode, if set up. Otherwise, transmit operation is controlled by the setting of the secure, programmable button. You will not be able to change from secure to clear, or from clear to secure, operation during an emergency call.
7.2 Load an Encryption Key
7.2.1 Model W3
To load an encryption key into a Model W3 radio:
1. Ensure that an encryption module is installed in the radio.
2. Load an encryption key into the radio’s memory from a key­variable loader (KVL) using the correct loader for the radio’s encryption type.
To load the key, attach the keyloader cable to the front of the radio. (Refer to the KVL instruction manual for loading.)
3.
KEYLOADING is
displayed on your radio while the key transfer is in progress.
For single-key radios, a short tone sounds when a key is successfully loaded.
For multikey radios, an alternating tone sounds for a few seconds after keys are successfully loaded.
NOTE:An invalid encryption key aborts a secure
transmission.
KEYFAIL is displayed and a keyfail tone
(consecutive medium-pitched beeps) sounds until you release the PTT button.
4. If a mode is not programmed for either secure or clear-only operation, use the secure programmable button to select secure or clear transmission.
NOTE:You cannot change from secure to clear, or from clear
to secure, while pressing the PTT button.
