using tuner to tweak

[oakvilledude]

hello there,


I was wondering if there was a trick when using tuner? Years ago I would use this software to
tweak radios, but I did it buy ear using a constant data channel. Now, when i use it I don't hear
any sound,. I have tried checking mute, internal and external under the sound with no difference.

I find it more difficult to tweak using the RSSi value when it fluctuates for 1 to 12 etc.

thanks in advance,

Which tuner? Global? APX? TRBO? Astro 25? Astro?

I wouldn't touch the soft-pots without a service monitor.

tweaking with TUNER

hello there.


I use Tuner for Astro Saber and I have the same issue using xts2500 or xts5000


I am not sure how to hear the audio of the conventional channel I am tunning in.

tweaking xts2500/5000s with tuner

I always take a photo pic of the values first just in case things get messed up.,

i would prefer to do the tuning by ear instead of fluctuating RSSI values. I use CPS astro tuner.

cheers

You need a service monitor to do this correctly. Without a digital service monitor how can you 'tweak' the softpots and verify BER? Have your radio aligned by a competent technician and be done with it.

The RSSI values don't jump around when you have a service monitor injecting the signal.

Had to re-read this on several times since most digital radios can be aligned with an analog monitor...just can't see the data streams and BER. I.E. my mind processed it as a digital monitor is required to align the radio...

Unless one is trying to do it...wireless.

The alignment isn't 'complete' until you have set the idle current, done the full alignments and verified the BER is within tolerance. Otherwise, just you a Baofeng as a signal generator.....
