2. Open the radio chassis, locate the TX cable, and disconnect the
cable from vertical interface board.
3. Using an adapter, connect the RF power meter to the SMA connec-
tor on the vertical interface board, key the radio and measure the RF
power.
If the power registers +39 dBm, the radio board is functioning
correctly.
If the power registers less than +39 dBm, proceed with Step 4.
4. Use the front panel to switch to the alternate transmitter and again
measure the RF power output.
If the alternate transmitter registers +39 dBm, the antenna switch
probably requires replacement.
5. Before replacing the antenna switch, make sure that +14 Vdc is
present on Pin 2 of J14 and Pin 1 is less than 1 Vdc on the PCB
interface.
