Introduction

This manual provides technical information necessary for servicing the VX-2500U Transceiver.

Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in some countries.

Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided circuit board in the transceiver. Each side of thr board is referred to by the type of the majority of components installed on that side (“leaded” or “chip-only”). In most cases one side has only chip components, and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only.

While we believe the technical information in this manual to be correct, Vertex Standard assumes no liability for dam- age that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies in the technical information would be appreciated.

Circuit Description

1. Overview

The VX-2500U is a UHF FM mobile transceiver designed to operate in the frequency range of 400 to 520 MHz.

2. Circuit Configuration by Frequency

The receiver is a double-conversion superheterodyne with a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 44.25 MHz and a second IF of 450 kHz. Incoming signals from the antenna are mixed with the local signal from PLL to produce the first IF of 44.25 MHz.

This is then mixed with the 43.8 MHz second local oscil- lator (using the 14.6 MHz reference crystal) output to pro- duce the 450 kHz second IF. This is detected to give the demodulated signal.

The transmit signal frequency is generated by PLL VCO, and modulated by the signal from the microphone. It is then amplified and sent to the antenna.

3. Receive Signal Path

Incoming RF signals from the antenna connector are de- livered to the RF Unit, and pass through a low-pass filter (LPF) antenna switching network consisting of coils L1001, L1002, L1003, L1005, and L1007, capacitors C1004, C1009,C1016, C1019, and C1025, and antenna switching diodes D1005 and D1007 (both XB15A709A0HR) for de- livery to the receiver front end.

Signals within the frequency range of the transceiver are then passed through a varactor-tuned bandpass filter con- sisting of L1008, L1009 before RF amplification by Q1011 (2SC4227:Ver. D or 2SC4226:Ver. CS1, DS1).

The amplified RF is then band-pass filtered again by var- actor-tuned resonators L1019, L1023 to ensure pure in- band input to 1st mixer Q1026 (3SK228:Ver. D or SGM2016AM:Ver. CS1, DS1).

Buffered output from the VCO Unit is amplified by Q1021 (2SC5107) and low-pass filtered by L1030/L1032 and C1184/C1188/C1192, to provide a pure 1st local signal between 355.75 and 475.75 MHz to the 1st mixer.

The 44.25 MHz 1st mixer product then passes through dual monolithic crystal filters XF1001 and XF1002, and is amplified by Q1029 (2SC4215Y) and delivered to the in- put of the FM IF subsystem IC Q1028 (TA31136FN).

This IC contains the 2nd mixer, 2nd local oscillator, limit- er amplifier, FM detector, noise amplifier, and squelch gates.

The 2nd LO in the IF-IC is produced from crystal X1001 (14.600 MHz), and the 1st IF is converted to 450 kHz by the 2nd mixer and stripped of unwanted components by ceramic filter CF1001 or CF1002. After passing through a limiter amplifier, the signal is demodulated by the FM detector CD1001 (CDBC450CX24).

Detected audio from Q1029 is applied to Q2016 (AK2345) and audio low-pass filter. After volume adjustment by Q2014 (M62364FP), the audio signal is amplified by the AF power amplifier Q1509 (TDA2003H) and passed to speaker jack.

4. Transmit Signal Path

Voice audio from the microphone is delivered via the MIC (Jack) Unit to the PANEL Unit, after passing through amplifier Q2022(NJM2902V), Mic gain-volume Q2014 (M62364FP) pre-emphasis Q2015 (NJM2902V), and lim- iter Q2016 (IDC instantaneous deviation control), is ad- justed for optimum deviation level and delivered to the next stage.

Voice input from the microphone and CTCSS are FM- modulated to the VCO of the synthesizer, while DCS au- dio is modulated by the reference frequency oscillator of the synthesizer.

Synthesizer output, after passing through diode switch D1022 (1SS321), is amplified by driver Q1022 (2SC5415E), Q1025 (2SC5107:Ver. D or 2SC4226:Ver. CS1, DS1) and power module Q1014 (RA30H4452M:Ver. D, DS1 or RA30H4047M:Ver. CS1) to obtain full RF out- put. The RF energy then passes through antenna switch D1005/D1007 and a low-pass filter circuit and finally to the antenna connector.

RF output power from the final amplifier is sampled by CM coupler and is rectified by D1011, D1012 (both HSM88AS). The resulting DC is fed through Automatic Power Controller Q1003 (M5223AGP), Q1002 (2SC4154E), Q1032 (2SC4254E), and TH1003 to trans- mitter RF amplifier and thus the power output.

Generation of spurious products by the transmitter is min- imized by the fundamental carrier frequency being equal to the final transmitting frequency, modulated directly in the transmit VCO. Additional harmonic suppression is provided by a low-pass filter consisting of L1002, L1003, L1005, C1004, C1009, C1016, C1019, and C1025, resulting in more than 60dB of harmonic suppression prior to de- livery to the RF energy to the antenna.

5. PLL Frequency Synthesizer

PLL frequency synthesizer consists of the VCO Q1013 (2SK508-K52: RX) and Q1015 (2SC4226-R24: TX), VCO buffers Q1018, Q1020, Q1021 (all 2SC5107-0), PLL sub- system IC Q1023 (SA7025DK:Ver. D) or Q1038 (MB15A02PFV1:Ver. CS1, DS1) and 14.6 MHz reference crystal X1001.

The frequency stability is ±2.5ppm within temperature range of –30 to +60 degree. The output of the 14.6 MHz reference is applied to pin 8 (Ver. D) or pin 1 (Ver. CS1, DS1) of the PLL IC.

Circuit Description

While receiving, VCO Q1013 oscillates between 355.75 and

475.75 MHz according to the transceiver version and the programmed receiving frequency. The VCO generates

355.75 to 475.75 MHz for providing to the first local sig- nal. In TX, the VCO generates 400 to 520 MHz.

The output of the VCO is amplified by the Q1020 and routed to the pin 5 (Ver. D) or pin 8 (Ver. CS1, DS1) of the PLL IC. Also the output of the VCO is amplified by the

Q1021 and routed first local/Power Module according to D1022.

PLL data is output from "DCS_E" (pin100), "CLOCK" (pin2) and "PLL_E" (pin98) of the microprocessor Q2013. The data are input to PLL IC when the channel is changed or when transmission is changed to reception and vice versa. A PLL lock condition is always monitored by the pin20 of the Q2013. When the PLL is unlocked, the UL goes low.

Alignment

Introduction

The VX-2500U is carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance across the frequency range speci- fied for each version. Realignment should therefore not be necessary except in the event of a component failure, or altering version type. All component replacement and service should be performed only by an authorized Ver- tex Standard representative,or the warranty policy may be void.

The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments that are not normally required once the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage occurs and some parts subsequently are placed, realign- ment may be required. If a sudden problem occurs dur- ing normal operation, it is likely due to component fail- ure; realignment should not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced.

We recommend that servicing be performed only by au- thorized Vertex Standard service technicians who are ex- perienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for re- pair and alignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, con- tact the dealer from whom the transceiver was purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Vertex Stan- dard service technicians realign all circuits and make com- plete performance checks to ensure compliance with fac- tory specifications after replacing any faulty components.

Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not covered by the warranty policy. Also, Vertex Standard reserves the right to change circuits and alignment proce- dures in the interest of improved performance, without notifying owners.

Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempt- ed unless the normal function and operation of the trans- ceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the malfunc- tion has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty compo- nents replaced, and realignment determined to be abso- lutely necessary.

The following test equipment (and thorough familiarity with its correct use) is necessary for complete realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment result- ing from use of improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps do not re- quire all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may require that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards.

Alignment Preparation & Precautions

A 50Ω RF Dummy Load and in-line wattmeter must be connected to the main antenna jack in all procedures that call for transmission, except where specified otherwise. Correct alignment is not possible with an antenna.

After completing one step, read the following step to de- termine whether the same test equipment will be required. If not, remove the test equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, in connected) before proceeding.

Correct alignment requires that the ambient temperature be the same as that of the transceiver and test equipment, and that this temperature be held constant between 68°F and 86°F (20°C ~ 30°C). When the transceiver is brought into the shop from hot or cold air, it should be allowed time to come to room temperature before alignment.

Whenever possible, alignments should be made with os- cillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in place.

Also, the test equipment must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning.

Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in the alignment pro- cedure are based on 0dBm EMF = 0.5mV.

Do not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order presented.

Alignment

Setup the test equipment as shown below, apply 13.8V DC power to the transceiver.

The transceiver must be programmed for use in the in- tended system before alignment is attempted. The RF pa- rameters are loaded from the file during the alignment process.

Transceiver

Clone

The VX-2500 includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the programming data from one trans- ceiver to be transferred to another VX-2500. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio's data to anoth- er.

Note: Enable the "Clone" function in the [Common 2-Radio advanced setting] menu of the CE52.

1. Turn both transceivers off.

2. Connect the optional CT-4 cloning cable between the Microphone jacks of the two transceivers.

3. Press and hold the A Button and Button while turning the transceiver on.

4. "CLONE" will appear on the displays both trans- ceivers when clone mode is successfully activat- ed in this step.

5. On the Destination transceiver, press the Down] Button. "LOADING" will appear on the LCD.
