7. Adjust L9 and L13 for maximum indication on TP1. No more than a
turn or two is needed. You will have to go back and forth between these
coils as they interact. You should get a reading of at least 50 mV.
8. Move your meter probe over to TP2 and adjust L5 and L11 for
maximum negative reading. Once again, go back and forth between the
two coils. You should get a reading of at least -90 mV. It is very
important to tune for the best peak as this will ensure proper transmitter
operation.
9. You should now be able to see RF power at the output antenna
jack, J1. Adjust capacitor C12 for maximum RF power output. Connect
your voltmeter to TP 3 and peak for maximum DC voltage.
10. Slightly spread or compress coils L3 and L7 to maximize output
power. Power should be at least 4 watts with a 12 volt power source.
11. Next, power down the unit, remove the jumper from jumper JMP7 to
resistor R14. this will disable the high power mode and enable low power
operation. When power is re-applied to the unit, the transmitter should
be at approximately 1 W RF output.
12. If a frequency counter or service monitor is available, adjust
capacitor C43 for exactly 146.520 MHz. If you do not have such
equipment, use a receiver with a center tune meter.
13. Disconnect the power source from unit to continue with assembly.
See Installation and Programming of the Microcontroller on the following
pages.
This completes the transmitter alignment of your FHT-1. Now it is time to
remove the clip lead or jumper connections from jumper JMP7 to JMP4, the
PTT enable.
