FT-2900R Alignment

Introduction

The FT-2900R is carefully aligned at the factory for the specified performance across

the amateur band. Realignment should therefore not be necessary except in the event

of a component failure. Only an authorized Vertex Standard representative should

perform all component replacement and service, or the warranty policy may be void.

The following procedures cover the adjustments that are not normally required once

the transceiver has left the factory. However, if damage occurs and some parts

subsequently are replaced, realignment may be required. If a sudden problem occurs

during normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment should not

be done until after the faulty component has been replaced.

We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Vertex Standard service

technicians who are experienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for repair and

alignment. If a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the transceiver was

purchased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Vertex Standard service

technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks to ensure

compliance with factory 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 procedures in the interest of improved performance, without

notifying owners.

Under no circumstances should any alignment be attempted unless the normal

function and operation of the transceiver are clearly understood, the cause of the

malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty components replaced, and

realignment determined to be absolutely necessary.

Required Test Equipment

The following test equipment (and familiarity with its use) is necessary for complete

realignment. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from use of

improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy. While most steps do

not require all of the equipment listed, the interactions of some adjustments may

require that more complex adjustments be performed afterwards.

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.

RF Signal Generator with calibrated output level at 200 MHz

Deviation Meter (linear detector)

In-line Wattmeter with 5% accuracy at 200 MHz

50-Ohm 100-W RF Dummy Load

8-Ohm AF Dummy Load

Alignment Preparation & Precautions

A 50-Ohm RF load and in-line wattmeter must be connected to the antenna jack in all

procedures that call for transmission; alignment is not possible with an antenna. After

completing one step, read the next step to see if the same test equipment is required. If

not, remove the test equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, if 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 ~ 86 °F (20 °C ~ 30 °C). When the transceiver is brought into the shop from hot or

cold air, it should be allowed some time to come to room temperature before alignment.

Whenever possible, alignments should be made with oscillator 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 procedure are based on 0dBµ =

0.5µV.

Test Setup

Set up the test equipment as shown below for transceiver alignment.

Entering the Alignment Mode

Alignment of the FT-2900R is performed using a front panel software-based procedure.
