No physical tuning is required, as all tuning is done by electronic trimming usually in the form of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The calibration process uses a PC running the calibration software, which is connected to a radio via an RS232 programming cable. RF in/out and audio in/out from the radio are also provided for connection to test equipment. Calibrating the radio To calibrate the radio 1. Connect a radio to your PC and test equipment. For more informa- tion, refer to the section on calibration equipment setup in the TM8100 Service Manual. 2. Read the radio. 3. Select the File > Save menu command to save the radio’s current calibration database to disk. This will enable you to view data (see “Viewing calibration files” on page 11) and re-program with a previous calibration database if necessary. 4. Either: ■ Change deviation or squelch settings (see “Changing maximum deviation and squelch thresholds” on page 15), or ■ Complete some calibration tests (see “Calibration tests” on page 13). 5. View and check the calibration data calculated (optional - see “Viewing calibration test results” on page 11). 6. Program the radio. Note Before performing some tests, the radio must contain at least approximate receiver calibration settings. If the radio being cali- brated has had settings deleted or default data programmed, then program another radio’s calibration database into the radio before starting the tests.
