8.5 Tuning the Rx Audio Level Set
The procedure outlined in this section is used to set the receive output audio level from the repeater for a given RF deviation of the received RF signal. Perform this procedure any time the Rx audio level requires adjustment.
Prerequisites: Obtain the following:

• Wattmeter (Communication Analyzer)
• Service monitor or counter
• 20 dB pad
• Standard Type A to Type B USB cable
• Personal computer

Procedure:

1. Connect the repeater receiver antenna port to the Communication Analyzer.

2. Power the repeater from either an AC or DC source.

3. Launch the Tuner application and click Read to read the softpot values.

4. In the tree view, select RX, then select Rx Rated Volume.

5. Set the Communication Analyzer to output a -47 dBm RF signal modulated with a 1 kHz tone at 60% of full deviation on the tuning frequency.
   The tuning frequency is the value displayed on the Tuner GUI under the heading Frequency Points.
   NOTE: The Tuner aligns this parameter in a 12.5 kHz channel spacing, so 60% is 1.5 kHz of deviation. If Radio Management (RM) is set for 25 kHz operation, the repeater automatically scales the deviation by a factor of two when it is outside the Tuner environment.
   Programmed TPL and DPL squelch requirements are automatically disabled for the tuning frequency while in the Tuner environment.

6. Adjust the softpot value until the desired receive audio level is achieved at Pin 7 (in reference to ground) on the Aux connector. The ground connection provided by the Aux connector is Pin 4.
   Figure 22: Auxiliary Connector NOTE: Optimally, load Pin 7 with the application loading used during normal operation of the repeater.
   

7. To save the new tuned softpot value into the repeater codeplug, click Write.

8.6 Tuning the Tx Audio Level Set
This procedure is used to allow adjustment of the transmitter audio level the repeater is expecting at the Aux connector. Adjusting this level set has the same effect as increasing or decreasing RF signal deviation for a given transmit audio level. Perform this procedure any time the transmitter audio level requires adjustment.
Prerequisites: Obtain the following:

   The ground connection provided by the Aux connector is Pin 4.
   NOTE: The Tuner aligns this parameter in a 12.5 kHz channel spacing, so 60% is 1.5 kHz of deviation. If Radio Management (RM) is set for 25 kHz operation, the repeater automatically scales the deviation by a factor of two when it is outside the Tuner application.

9. To de-key the repeater, click PTT Toggle.

10. To save the new tuned softpot value into the repeater codeplug, click Write.

8.7 Modulation Limit Alignment
Modulation is a change or alteration in the signal. Any aspect of the signal can be changed, such as amplitude, frequency, phase, timing or repetition rate of pulses. Aligning the modulation limit sets the RF carrier wave of the frequency bandwidth of the SLR 1000 Repeater.
NOTE: A modulation limit alignment is always required when the repeater is in digital mode. This alignment is not required if the repeater is used in repeat mode.

2. Power the repeater from a DC source.

3. Apply a 1 kHz signal at 1.2 Vrms to Pin 1 of the Aux connector. Signal ground is Pin 4 of the Aux connector.

4. Launch the Tuner application.

5. To read the softpot values, click Read.

6. In the tree view, select TX, then select Modulation Limit.

7. Enter the tuning frequency into the Communication Analyzer (the value displayed on the Tuner application).

8. To key up the repeater, click PTT Toggle.

9. Adjust the softpot value until the maximum deviation is 92% of the rated system deviation (RSD).
   This adjustment is tested in a 12.5 kHz channel spacing, so 92% of 2.5 kHz is 2.3 kHz.

10. Set the modulation limit to 92% so that any additional deviation incurred by the transmitter VCOs over temperature is compensated for.
    Channel Spacing (kHz)| RSD (kHz)| 92% of RSD (kHz)| Tolerance (Hz)
    ---|---|---|---
    12.5| 2.5| 2.3| 0

11. To de-key the repeater, click PTT Toggle.

12.5| 2.5| 2.3| +0/-50
20| 4| 3.68| +0/-80
25| 5| 4.6| +0/-100

NOTE:

• The repeater is factory-tuned in accordance to this procedure and specification.
• Verification is performed outside of the Tuner application, such as in normal mode.

8.8 Tuning a Duplexer Module
The duplexer module is shipped untuned. Before installing the duplexer into the repeater, it must be tuned specifically to the transmit and receive frequency pairs of the repeater.
The duplexer module is composed of three low-pass/high-notch cavities and three high-pass/low-notch cavities. Each set of three cavities provides bandpass filtering for either the transmit RF signal or the receive RF signal. In general, the duplexer must be tuned so that the transmit cavity set passes the
transmit signal and rejects the receive signal. Concurrently, the receive cavity set must be tuned to pass the receive signal and reject the transmit signal.
Tuning is performed by injecting RF signals and making tuning adjustments (using the tuning rods and trimmer screws) while monitoring for maximum or minimum readings on the RF millivoltmeter. Field tuning the duplexer module requires the following general adjustments:

• Tune high-pass/low-notch cavities for maximum pass and reject response
• Tune low-pass/high-notch cavities for maximum pass and reject response
• Check high-pass/low-notch and low-pass/high-notch cavities for insertion loss
• Check high-pass/low-notch and low-pass/high-notch cavities for isolation

NOTE: If the duplexer module is tuned and the specifications are within a large margin of error, the duplexer must be returned to the Motorola Solutions Support Center (SSC) for repair.
Prerequisites: Obtain the following test equipment:

• 2-port network analyzer
• Network analyzer cables
• Open/short/load calibration kit
• Two SMA female to MCX adapters
• N-male to SME female adapter
• Small crescent wrench
• T10 TORX bit and driver

Procedure:

1. Determine the transmit and receive frequencies, as follows:
   The less of the two frequencies is the LOW frequency and the greater of the two is the HIGH frequency. Choose a duplexer that includes both of these frequencies in its tuning range as indicated on the duplexer label.
   a Loosen the tightening nut on the three cavities for each section (six total). See Figure 23: SLR 1000 UHF Repeater Band Reject (Notch) Duplexer on page 71 and Figure 24: SLR 1000 VHF Repeater Band Reject (Notch) Duplexer on page 71
   Figure 23: SLR 1000 UHF Repeater Band Reject (Notch) Duplexer Figure 24: SLR 1000 VHF Repeater Band Reject (Notch) Duplexer a On the network analyzer (or equivalent) set the start frequency to a LOW frequency – 3 MHz, ****and set the stop frequency to a HIGH frequency + 3 MHz.
   b Using the sweep menu, adjust the power out to as high as possible, presumably 10 dBm. c Perform a 2-port calibration.

2. View the s11 log mag return loss, as follows:
   a Connect the LOW port on the duplexer to port 1 on the network analyzer.
   b Connect the ANT port on the duplexer to port 2 on the network analyzer.
   c Connect a 50 ohm load to the HIGH port on the network analyzer.
   d Set marker 1 (M1) as the low frequency and marker 2 (M2) as the high frequency.
   e Using the three T10 tuning screws on the LOW side, tune M1 for best return loss, s11.
   The results should be better than -12 dB. The lower the number is best (such as, -20 dB is preferable than -10 dB). Shorter screws (turned clockwise) are for a lower frequency and longer screws (turned counterclockwise) are for a higher frequency. Keep all three screws for each port at about the same depth when tuning each section. Later in this tuning procedure, you may notice that the three LOW port screws are shorter than the three HIGH port screws.
   f Connect the HIGH port on the duplexer to port 1 on the network analyzer.
   g Connect a 50 ohm load to the LOW side on the duplexer.
   h Tune the three screws on the HIGH side for a best return loss on M2.

3. View the s21 log mag insertion loss and rejection, as follows: The goal is to keep M2 better than -1.7 dB (for example, -1.3 dB) and M1 less than -65 dB (for
   example, -67 dB). See Figure 25: Example for HIGH Port Tuning of the UHF Duplexer on page 72.
   Figure 25: Example for HIGH Port Tuning of the UHF Duplexera Using the three T10 tuning screws on the LOW side, tune M2 for best insertion loss, s21, while keeping the isolation (M1) better than 65 dB.
   The results should be better than -1.7 dB. Shorter screws (turned clockwise) are for a lower frequency and longer screws (turned counterclockwise) are for a higher frequency. Keep all three screws for each port at about the same depth when tuning each section. Later in this tuning process you may notice that the three LOW port screws are shorter than the three HIGH port screws.
   b Connect the LOW side cable of the duplexer to port 1 on the network analyzer.
   c Connect a 50 ohm load to the HIGH side of the duplexer.
   The goal is to keep M1 better than -1.7 dB and M2 better than -65 dB. See Figure 26:
   Example for LOW Port Tuning of the UHF Duplexer on page 73.
   Figure 26: Example for LOW Port Tuning of the UHF Duplexer d Using the three T10 tuning screws on the HIGH side, tune M1 for best insertion loss, s21, while keeping the isolation (M2) better than 65 dB.
   The results should be better than -1.7 dB. Shorter screws (turned clockwise) are for a lower frequency and longer screws (turned counterclockwise) are for a higher frequency. Keep all three screws for each port at about the same depth when tuning each section. Later in this tuning process you may notice that the three HIGH port screws are shorter than the three LOW port screws.

4. View the rejection of each port, as follows:
   a Connect the LOW side of the duplexer to port 1 on the network analyzer.
   b Connect the HIGH side of the duplexer to port 2 on the network analyzer.
   c Connect a 50 ohm load to the ANT port on the duplexer.
   d The results should be similar to Figure 27: Rejection of Each Port for UHF Duplexer on page 74
   Figure 27: Rejection of Each Port for UHF Duplexer

5. Complete the tuning procedure, as follows:
   a If the results are similar to Figure 27: Rejection of Each Port for UHF Duplexer on page 74 with better than -65 dB isolation between the LOW and HIGH ports of the duplexer, carefully tighten the nuts on the six T10 torque screws.
   Tighten them slightly snug, not all the way. Be careful not to accidentally change the tuning of those screws.
   b Observe the tuning so that the two DIPs are deeper than -65 dB. If so, continue to tighten the tuning nuts.
   The duplexer is now tuned.
