IS07012 – XR3/XR6 Frequency Change Procedure
INFORMATION SHEET
1 INTRODUCTION
The XR3/XR6 is basically a broadband
amplifier with fixed tuned elements in the
RF drive stage and the RF output filter.
The selection of frequency sensitive
components and adjustment of variable
inductors used in these circuits is normally
performed at the factory at the transmitter’s
assigned carrier frequency. When a
frequency change is required, use the
following procedures to realign the
frequency sensitive components.
1.1 Equipment Affected
This procedure applies to first release
XR3/XR6 transmitters (Nautel Part #
NARA48 and NARA49).
1.2 Responsibility for
Implementation of Procedure
This procedure should be carried out by
qualified station maintenance personnel
who are familiar with the XR3/XR6
transmitter.
1.3 Scheduling
This procedure may be implemented at
the convenience of station maintenance
personnel.
1.4 Manpower Requirements
It is estimated that implementing this
modification will require eight (8) hours to
complete. Note that it is necessary for the
transmitter to be placed in an off-air status
for the duration of this procedure.
1.5 Special Tools/Test Equipment
The following test equipment is required.
Where applicable, items are referenced in
text.
• Spectrum analyzer
• Oscilloscope
• Digital multimeter
• Vector impedance meter (e.g., Tomco
TE1000)
• Function generator (audio to RF)
• Frequency counter
• Modulation monitor
• Audio test set (response and
distortion)
• RF Current Probe(or Delta probe with
meter)
• RMS voltage meter
• Delta RF current probe
• 200 Ω potentiometer
• Notch filter
• Attenuator pad
• Test cable (202-5010)
•
Test load (176-5720-01)
•

1.6 Parts Required
The frequency dependent parts required
to change to the new frequency were
shipped in the same package as this
document. Part contents will vary
depending on the new carrier frequency.
