) eee ace lat GENERAL 
P SAFETY 
INFORMATION 


Proper use of this radio requires that the following precautions be taken: 


DO NOT operate the transmitter of a mobile radio when someone outside the vehicle is within 


0.6 metres (two feet) of the antenna. 


DO NOT operate the transmitter of a fixed radio (base station, microwave and rural telephone rf 
equipment) or marine radio when someone is within 0.6 metres (two feet) of the antenna. 


DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and any open 


connectors are properly terminated. 


In addition, 


< DO NOT operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. 
All equipment must be properly grounded according to Motorola installation instructions for safe 
operation. 


All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician. 


WARNING 
ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEMS 


For vehicles equipped with electronic anti-skid braking systems, see “ANTI-SKID 
BRAKING PRECAUTIONS?” Publication, Motorola Number 68P81109E34. 


WARNING 


VEHICLES FUELED BY LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS 


It is mandatory that radio installations in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum 
gas conform to the standards of the country in which the radio is operated. 


il 


WARNING 
RESTRICTED USE OF GLASS-MOUNT ANTENNAS 


Non-Metallic Vehicles - DO NOT install any glass-mount antenna on fiberglass 
or other non-metallic vehicles in mobile systems with transmit output power in 
excess of seven (7) watts because such installations may result in the exposure 
of the vehicle occupants to excessive radio frequency energy levels. 


Metal Body Vehicles - In metal body vehicles, it is mandatory that the Motorola 
supplied glass-mount antenna installation instructions covering location of the 
antenna at the top of the front or rear window and cable routing be followed 
exactly as described to ensure that vehicle occupants are not exposed to 
excessive radio frequency energy levels. 


If installations of this type have already taken place, notify your local Motorola 
Service Representative immediately so that appropriate corrective action can be 
taken. 


WARNING 


UNSAFE USE OF CONVERTED MOBILE 
EQUIPMENT FOR PORTABLE APPLICATIONS 


Motorola two-way radio products which have been designed for mobile operation 
should not be used as battery operated portable units. In such use there is the 
danger that the user or other persons will be exposed to excessive radio frequency 
energy levels. This warning applies to all two-way radio equipment radiating in 
excess of seven (7) watts rf power. Motorola strongly recommends that any 
product which converts high power equipment for portable operation not be 
used. 


NOTE 


In mobile installations, consider the occupants’ safety when choosing a location 
for the radio. Do not mount the radio overhead or on a sidewall unless special 
precautions are taken. Otherwise the radio could become unfastened in an 
automobile accident and injure the occupants. 


Refer to the appropriate sections of this product service manual for additional 
pertinent safety information. 


SERVICE

SECTION 2. 
INSTALLATION 
AND OPERATION 
OF THE RADIO 


2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE RADIO 


2.1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 


The MCX1000 is a multiple frequency, 
multiple zone capable, synthesized FM mobile 
radio. It is a 30/40 watt radio, available in the VHF 
frequency range of 136 to 174 MHz and in the UHF 
frequency range of 403 to 430 MHz. and 440 to 470 
MHz. MCX1000 is available in front mount (Figure 
1), remote mount (Figure 2) or base station (Figure 
3) configurations. 


“The radio has an eight character vacuum 
fluorescent alpha-numeric display. Modes*, zones*, 
codes and tones can be named with such titles as 
“FIRE”, “POLICE”, etc., or whatever best 
communicates to you the meaning of that mode. 


The MCX1000 uses an EEPROM (Electrically 
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory 
Device). This enables the personality of the radio to 
be changed in the field. For example, mode names 
may be redefined, frequencies added, deleted or 
changed, or other radio characteristics altered. 


* In any discussion involving the MCX1000 
Radio, the terms “mode” and “zone” are often used. 
Their definitions follow. 


MODE- A mode consists of a Transmit or Receive 
frequency plus a collection of personality 
parameters; i.e. PL/DPL codes, slaved singletone, 
busy mode lockout, alphanumeric mode name. The 
word “channel” is often used synonymously with 
the word “mode” though the correct definition of 
“channel” is only a transmit and receive frequency 
that does not carry personality parameters. 


ZONE- A zone is a collection of modes often used for 
geographical grouping. 


2.1.2 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS 


The MCX1000 radio has excellent transmitter 
and receiver performance specifications and a 
sophisticated channel scan monitoring system. 
Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) of radio sets in the 
design stage helps to ensure reliability. 


The MCX1000 incorporates the latest in 
advanced surface mount microprocessor technology. 
The radio is capable of combining Private-Line, 
Digital Private-Line and Carrier Squelch modes all 
in one radio model. Digital capable models of the 
MCX1000 are available to provide a radio capable 
of handling Securenet voice encryption. The design 
of the radio is flexible enough to allow changes to its 
option package as your communication needs grow 
and evolve. Finally, the Digital MCX1000 is able 
to handle high speed data transmissions. 


2.1.3 MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS 


The radio has a die cast metal chassis. Top 
and bottom covers are constructed from aluminum. 
The control head is made of a polycarbonate 
compound able to withstand the toughest 
environments as well as temperature extremes. 
The radio has the ability to survive MIL Std 810C 
and 810D for shock and vibration. 


The modular construction of the MCX1000, 
the simple mechanical design of its parts, and the 
ease with which the radio can be assembled 
translates into reduced down time and reduced 
servicing costs.

2.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
2.2.1 STANDARD MCX1000 CONTROLS 


Figure 2-4 illustrates the controls that are 
standard on every MCX1000 Radio. A brief 
description of each of the standard controls is 
included below. 


Alpha-Numeric Display Area 


The alpha-numeric display is capable of 
displaying up to 8 characters, and will show all 26 
letters (upper case only) and numbers (0-9 
inclusive). 


SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE RADIO 


Busy Light Indicator 


This indicator is lit whenever there is a carrier 
present on the selected mode. 


Transmit Indicator 


This indicator is lit whenever the transmitter 
is keyed. 


Zone Select Buttons 


The Zone Buttons are used to move radio 
operation from one zone to another. Initially the 
factory programs the radio so that the zone names 
displayed are ZONE A, ZONE B etc. The first time 
either of the zone buttons is pressed, the radio 
display changes from showing the name of the 
“mode” it is operating on to the name of the “zone” it 
is currently operating in. Pressing the Zone Up 
Button a second time within three seconds causes 
the radio to advance one zone and display the new 
zone name. (If the Zone Up Button is pressed and 
held, the radio and its display advance through 
zones at a rate of three zones per second.) The Zone 
Down Button works in the opposite manner. An 
audio tone will be heard as the radio changes from 
one zone to another. The zone name being displayed 
will revert back to the mode name in 3 seconds, or 
will revert immediately when the mode selector 
switch is rotated. 


Monitor Button 


Pushing the Monitor Button will cause the 
radio to show the status of the PL or DPL operation 
in the display. If PL or DPL is enabled, the display 
will show “MON OFF”. If PL or DPL is disabled to 
monitor the channel activity, the display will show 
“MONITOR”. Pressing the Monitor Button a 
second time within three seconds will change the 
PL or DPL status. In addition, an audio tone will be 
heard to acknowledge the change in PL or DPL 
status. 


Squelch Defeat Button 


If the radio is squelched, pushing the squelch 
button will cause the radio to become unsquelched. 
The radio audio will remain unsquelched until the 
squelch button is again pushed. This is useful for 
setting speaker volume. 


2-6 


Off/On Volume Rotary Control 


This control is used to turn the radio on and off 
and to set the volume. Fully counter-clockwise is 
off; the volume is increased with clockwise rotation. 
Information which has been programmed from the 
front panel will be retained in the radio memory 
when the radio is turned off. 


Mode Selector Rotary Control 


Turning the Mode Selector Switch will cause 
the mode and the mode name in the radio display to 
change. Initially the factory programs the radio so 
that the mode names displayed are MODE 1, 
MODE 2 etc. The selector has no end stop, and an 
audio tone is heard when the last mode is passed 
and the rotary sequence is repeated. 


Program Button 


This button is used to place the radio in the 
program mode of operation; ie., when the radio is to 
be reconfigured from the front panel. The Program 
button is used to initiate the assignment of modes to 
zones and the configuring of scan lists within zones. 
(See Section 2.3 for further information.) It is also 
used to temporarily delete a mode from the scan list 
while the radio is scanning. 


If the Omit User Programming From the Front 
Panel option is ordered, the Program button cannot 
be used as described above. Alternatively, Service 
Programming may limit the use of this button to 
either initiate the assignment of modes to zones or 
configure the scan lists within zones. 


Program Indicator 


This LED is lit whenever the radio is in the 
programming mode of operation. 


Dim Button 


This button is used to alter the light intensity 
of the display. Consecutive pushes of the DIM 
Button will step the display panel through three 
light intensities : BRIGHT, DIM and DIMMEST. 
The addition of a fourth light intensity (OFF 
position) is an option on the MCX1000. This OFF 
position turns off the display panel as well as the 
backlighting of all buttons on the radio. 


@ 


SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE RADIO 


The Disable Lighting option may be useful when 
the radio is being used in a surveillance application. 


2.2.2 TO TURN THE RADIO ON 


Turn the off-on/volume control clockwise 
until a click is heard. Depending on the 
installation, you may also be required to turn on the 
ignition switch of your vehicle. 


2.2.3 TO RECEIVE 


Use the following sequence to set the volume 
control of your radio to a comfortable listening 
level. 


Turn the radio on. 

If no audio is heard, press the squelch button. 

Adjust the volume control to the desired level. 

Press the squelch button again to again mute 
* the audible background noise.

Encryption: If the incoming message is encrypted 
with a key that is different from the radio key, noise 
will be heard from the speaker. In radios equipped 
with the Proper Code option, the noise will not be 
heard unless the microphone is off-hook or the 
Monitor function enabled. 


2.2.4 TO TRANSMIT 
NOTE 


For mobiles equipped with the 
“Ignition Switch Transmitter 
Control” option, the transmitter 
cannot be operated unless the 
vehicle ignition switch is turned on.

Also, the Clear/Coded Indicator lights when coded 
operation is selected. On models with the Dual 
Code option, select the desired code for transmitting 
by pressing the Code Select Button (1\2). The word 
“CODE 1” or “CODE 2” appears on the display for 
one second. The Code Select Indicator lights when 
you have selected code 2. 


2. Before starting transmission, monitor all traffic 
on the selected mode to ensure that it is not in use. 
Remove the mobile microphone from its hangup clip 
or depress the Monitor bar on the base station 
microphone. If the mode is clear, you may transmit 
your message. 


3. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches 
from your mouth, depress and hold the push-to-talk 
(PTT) pushbutton (or Transmit bar on base 
stations) and speak into the microphone. The 
Transmit Indicator lights. On dual code radios, the 
selected code, “CODE 1” or “CODE 2”, is displayed 
for one second when the transmitter is keyed. The 
transmitted audio is either encrypted or non- 
encrypted, depending upon the selected operation. 
If the transmitted audio of an encryption capable 
radio is non-encrypted, a short tone or beep is heard 
immediately after the microphone is keyed. After 
finishing your message, release the PTT 
pushbutton to receive a reply.

place the microphone in the microphone hangup 
clip. 


2.2.5 TO TURN RADIO SET OFF 


Turn the off-on/volume control completely 
counterclockwise until a click is heard. (In mobile 
installations in which the green wire is connected to 
the accessory side of the ignition switch, the radio 
may also be turned off by turning off the vehicle 
ignition switch).

seconds of the end of the call. If the microphone is 
not lifted off-hook within this time period, the radio 
resumes scanning. 


3. With the microphone off-hook, converse in the 
normal manner. At the end of the conversation, 
place the microphone on-hook. The radio will 
resume scanning. 


4, It is possible to temporarily delete a mode from 
the scan sequence because of annoying heavy 
traffic. While the scanner is on and stopped on the 
mode to be deleted (microphone on-hook), press the 
PROG (program) button . The scanner will now 
skip that mode until the scanner is turned off or the 
microphone is taken off-hook. Other modes may be 
deleted as required until there is only one mode 
remaining. 


If you are not already in the zone you wish to scan: 


Using the Zone Up or Zone Down buttons, 
move to the zone you wish to scan as indicated by 
the alpha-numeric display. The zone name will 
remain on the display for 3 seconds, and then the 
display will change to the last selected mode in the 
zone. Then perform steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 just discussed 
above. 


TWO LEVEL PRIORITY SCAN (See Figure 2-6) 


If your radio is equipped with priority scan and 
the scanner is turned on, a call on the first level 
priority mode overrides any other call that you are 
listening to, and a call on a second level priority 
mode overrides any call except a first level priority

call. When this occurs, the Priority indicator lights, 
the radio display shows the name of the priority 
mode, and an alert tone is heard in the speaker, 
followed by the verbal priority message. NOTE: 
The Priority indicator will flash if the message 
received is on the first level priority mode. If the 
message received is on the second level priority 
mode, the Priority LED will light continuously. 


With priority scan (unless MBB316 “Omit 
Spontaneous Priority“ has been ordered), the last 


mode transmitted on is temporarily assigned to the 


second level priority status. The reassignment lasts 
for a period of 60 seconds after the microphone is 
placed on hook. The reassignment period assures 
that the operator hears any follow-up messages. 


Your radio can be routed to its first level 
priority mode within a zone quickly and easily 
when you are not scanning or when the microphone 
is “Off Hook”. To access your first level priority 
mode, push the PRIORITY button. The radio and 
its display immediately moves to the first level 
priority mode and a tone is heard. If there is no first 
level priority mode, the radio moves to the second 
level priority mode, and a tone is heard. 


2.2.7 SELECTABLE PL/DPL 


Up to 16 (56 mode, 8 zone models) or 32 (128 
mode, 24 zone models) PL/DPL codes may be 
selected on the MCX1000. To change the PL/DPL 
code of an MCX1000 radio, the shaded arrow 
buttons on the radio front panel are employed. (See 
Figure 2-17. Note that these button locations 
change when radios have the encryption option.) 
Use these buttons to call up the desired PL/DPL 
code. Codes will be shown on the alpha-numeric 
display of the radio. When at the desired code, 
simply wait 3 seconds for the radio display to revert 
back to showing the mode name. This 3 second wait 
can be avoided by turning the Mode Selector switch 
one notch in either direction so as to call up the 
mode name immediately. The radio now carries the 
new PL/DPL code. 


2.2.8 SINGLETONE SIGNALLING 


Singletone to Follow Mode Selector Switch 
(See Figure 2-14) 


A single one second encode tone is 
transmitted from the radio when the Singletone 


button (marked with a musical note) on the radio 
front panel is pushed. Holding the Singletone 
button depressed beyond the one second timed 
interval causes the radio to transmit the singletone 
for as long as the button is depressed. 


Selectable singletone 
(See Figure 2-15) 


Up to 10 (56 mode, 8 zone models) or 32 (128, 
24 zone models) encode tones may be selected for 
transmission on the MCX1000. A singletone is 
selected through a sequence of button pushes 
involving the Program button (see Selectable 
Singletone Programming instructions in this 
section). By depressing the Singletone button 
(marked with a musical note) on the radio front 
panel, the selected tone is transmitted. The 
standard transmission time is one second. Holding 
the Singletone button depressed beyond the one 
second timed interval causes the radio to transmit 
the singletone for as long as the button is depressed. 


Dual Singletone (See Figure 2-16) 


An MCX1000 Radio having the Dual 
Singletone option is capable of transmitting two 
independent encode tones by means of the “1” or “2” 
buttons on the radio front panel. To send a 
Singletone transmission, the desired tone button is 
pressed. The standard transmission time is one 
second. Holding a Dual Singletone button 
depressed beyond the 1 second timed interval 
causes the radio to transmit the Singletone for as 
long as the button is depressed. 


2.2.9 MDC SIGNALLING 


MDC1200 and MDC600 Signalling - Unit 
Identification 


Each time the Push-to-talk button on the 
microphone is depressed, a specific pre-programmed 
burst of data is transmitted to the base station, 
identifying the radio unit. 


MDC Signalling - Emergency Alert Activated 
by a Pushbutton on the Control Head 
(See Figure 2-18) 

Pressing the unlabeled “Emergency” button 


on the radio front panel sends a silent data burst

SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE RADIO 


to the base station informing it of the identity and 
emergency status of the radio. The red emergency 
indicator and the PTT indicator are both 
illuminated to indicate that the message is being 
transmitted. 


MDC Signalling - Emergency Alert Activated 
by a Hidden Pushbutton 


Activating a hidden pushbutton sends a 
silent data burst to the base station informing it of 
the identity of the radio and emergency status. So 
that attention is not drawn to the radio, with this 
option the red emergency indicator and the PTT 
indicator are not illuminated while the emergency 
data signal is being transmitted. 


MDC Signalling - Emergency Alert Activated 
by a Hidden Footswitch 


Activating a hidden footswitch sends a silent 
data burst to the base station informing it of the 
identity of the radio and emergency status. So that 
attention is not drawn to the radio, with this option 
the red emergency indicator and the PTT indicator 
are not illuminated while the emergency data 
signal is being transmitted. 


2.3 PROGRAMMING THE RADIO 
FROM THE FRONT PANEL 


Programming the MCX1000 radio is initiated 
by pressing the “PROG” button on the radio front 
panel. (See Figure 2-4) In response, the PROG 
indicator will light. The next step involves pushing 
the function button you wish to program i.e., 
“Zone”, “Scan” or “Singletone”. The programming 
of each of these functions is described individually 
on the following pages. 


NOTES 


1. IF THE RADIO IS EQUIPPED 
WITH ENCRYPTION, ENSURE 
THAT IT IS NOT IN CODED 
MODE BEFORE PROCEEDING 
WITH FRONT PANEL PRO- 
GRAMMING. 


2. While being programmed, the radio 
will transmit or receive messages on 


the currently selected mode. 


3. Whenin the normal mode of oper-

Field Retrofit Kits 


Field retrofit kits are available from Motorola 
that allow digital versions of the MCX1000 Radio to 
be converted to voice encryption operation. For 
more information on the available encryption 
options, see Section 2.7 in this manual. 


2.6 DESCRIPTION OF RADIO 
OPTIONS 


2.6.1 GENERAL OPTIONS 


MBB978 Omit User Programming From the 
Radio Front Panel 


This option makes programming of the radio 
by its user from the radio front panel impossible. 
The user would be unable to change the modes 
included in a zone and the modes that are scanned. 
Should this option be ordered, a field programmer 
would be required to reprogram the radio. If 
selectable singletone is included in the radio, the 
program button can be used only to select 
singletone. 


MBB460 2 PPM Stability 


The MCX1000 comes standard with 5 ppm 
stability. This option changes radio hardware to 
improve the frequency accuracy of the radio, an 
option especially important when the radio is used 
as part of a data transmission system. 


MBB462 Fast-Lok Synthesizer 


The lock time of the standard synthesizer is 110 
milliseconds. With this option, a new fast-lok 
synthesizer reduces lock time to less than 3 
milliseconds. The faster lock speed is required for 
units with the Priority Scan option -MBB424 (and is 
included as part of MBB424) and is strongly 
recommended for systems where many channels are 
being scanned. It is also recommended for large 
mobile data systems where vehicles are polled and 


rapid receiver and transmitter turn on response is 
required. 


MBB310 Lower Range VHF Option 


The VHF MCX1000 Radio is available for 
operation in Range I (136-162 MHz) or Range II 
(146-174 MHz) bands. When all transmit and 
receive frequencies are in the same sub-band 
overlap area (146-162 MHz), Range II (146-174 
MHz) boards will be supplied as standard. 


This option (MBB310) should be used when all 
present frequencies are in the overlap area but 
future user applications require Range I (136-162 
MHz) capability. 


MBB75 Omit Time-Out-Timer 


Deletes the 60 second timer that is standard on 
the radio. 


MBB287 Non-Standard Time-Out-Timer 


This option alters the time period from the 
standard 60 seconds to one of the following choices: 
30, 90, 120, 150, 180, or 210 seconds. 


MBB289 Omit Alert Tone 


This option removes all the alert tones that are 
heard when zones are selected and when the mode 
selector is rotated past the last mode. Alert tones 
will still be heard while programming from the 
front panel. 


MBB366 Disable Lighting 


This option adds an OFF position to the DIM 
button function. The OFF position will turn off all 
lighting on the front panel of the control head 
including the backlighting of all buttons. There is 
no visible indication that the radio is operating 
when the dimmer is in the off position. 


MBB20 DTMF Microphone (See Figure 2-13) 


Deletes the regular mobile microphone and 
replaces it with a TOUCH-CODE encode 
microphone. The DTMF microphone allows the 
transmission of standard dual tone multi-frequency 


2-19 


SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE RADIO 


(DTMF) signals, which are used for remote 
signalling applications and mobile telephone 
operations. 


2.6.2 SCAN OPTIONS 


MBB423 Operator Selectable Scan 


This option provides the SCAN button on the 
radio front panel and the ability of the radio to 
perform the scan function within each of its zones. 
NOTE: Upon receipt of his radio, the user will have 
to select and program the modes to be scanned

This feature permits the user to manually select 
the desired first level priority mode by rotating the 
mode selector switch to the desired mode and then 
switching on the scanner. 


MBB316 Omit Spontaneous Priority 


Spontaneous Priority is standard on the 
MCX1000 radio. With Spontaneous Priority, the 
last mode transmitted on is assigned secondary 
priority status for 60 seconds once the microphone is 
placed on hook. This feature ensures that a delayed 
continuation of a conversation will be monitored 
and not missed. If another mode has previously 
been programmed with secondary priority status in 
the scan sequence, the radio will scan with two 
secondary priority modes for 60 seconds after the 
microphone is placed on hook. MBB316 “Omit 
Spontaneous Priority” deletes this feature. 


2.6.3 SINGLETONE SIGNALLING OPTIONS 


MBB312 Singletone to Follow Mode Selector

with a musical note) on the radio front panel is 
pushed. Holding the Singletone pushbutton 
depressed beyond the 1 second timed interval 
causes the radio to transmit the singletone for as 
long as the button is depressed. The Singletone 
frequency is determined by the selected mode (the 
frequency having been previously programmed for 
the particular mode). 


MBB313 Selectable Singletone (See Figure 2-15) 


Up to 10 (56 mode, 8 zone models) or 32 (128

LINE OPTIONS 


MBB463 Selectable PL/DPL (See Figure 2-17) 
(PL/DPL button positions change with encrypted 
radios) 


Changing the radio PL/DPL code involves the 
use of the shaded arrow buttons on the front panel 
of the radio. Use the up or down buttons to call up 
the desired code. (Codes will be shown on the radio 
display). When you reach the code you desire, wait 
3 seconds for the radio display to revert back to its 
mode name (this wait may be eliminated by turning 
the mode selector switch 1 click in either direction). 
The radio now carries the PL/DPL code you have 
just assigned. NOTE: This option may be desired if 
the radio is used on a shared community repeater. 


MBB334 Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode 


This option prevents the radio transmitter from 
keying on an active mode when the wrong PL code 
is present on the carrier. When the mode is busy 
with the proper PL code, the Busy Indicator will 
light steadily. When the mode is busy with the 
wrong PL code, the Busy Indicator will flash, and if 
the transmitter PTT is operated, a tone will be 
heard indicating that the transmitter is inhibited at 
that time. 


The monitor button is disabled with this option so 
that the receiver audio can be heard only when the 
proper PL code is present. The squelch button will 
produce an audible tone when pressed so that the 
volume level may be adjusted. 


This option eliminates interference possible when 
radio users share the same repeater.

3.1 RADIO DESCRIPTION 


3.1.1 GENERAL 


The MCX1000 VHF Radio operates in the range 
of 136-162 or 146-174 MHz and has transmit 
capabilities of 30/40 Watts rf output. It is available 
in a dash mount, remote mount or base station 
configuration. The MCX1000 Radio receives all 
control signals from its own microcomputer board. 


The radio chassis is constructed of rugged cast 
metal with separate top and bottom covers.The back 
of the chassis contains the connectors for external 
power, antenna, external option connections, and a 
heat sink for power transistor cooling. 


The radio control head contains all controls and 
indicators as well as the microphone connector. 


Compartments inside the chassis isolate the

ASSEMBLY 


3.5.1 GENERAL 


CAUTION 
The hybrid assemblies are not field 
repairable. Attempts to repair a 
hybrid module will void the 
warranty. 


The MCX1000 Exploded View and Mechanical 
Parts Lists (Figure 3-12) , MCX1000 Radio-Bottom 
View (Figure 3-1) and MCX1000 Radio-Top View 
(Figure 3-2) may be used as reference. 


Many of the assemblies may be removed / 
replaced by carefully disconnecting / connecting the 
cables and removing / securing the attaching 
hardware. Refer to the following paragraphs for 
procedures applicable to specific assemblies 
involving special precautions and steps that may 
not be obvious. 


The power interconnect board and the power 
amplifier interconnect board cannot be removed. 
Replacement of components on these boards, if 
necessary, should be done from the exposed side of 
the board. The leads of the replacement part must 
be properly trimmed prior to insertion to avoid 
short-circuits to the chassis. It is recommended that 
a spacer be placed between the board and chassis, if 
possible, to prevent solder from flowing below the 
board and touching the chassis. 


During reassembly of the radio, it is very 
important to tighten all screws to the correct 
torque. Correct torque is essential for reliable 
electrical and mechanical performance. Too little 
torque may result in intermittent ground 
connections, microphonics, or insufficient heat 
sinking. Too much torque may cause stripping of 
the threads in the chassis. Recommended screw 
torque specifications for all fasteners in the 
MCX1000 radio are listed in Figure 3-5. 


Before a screw is reinserted, check the threads 
for foreign material. If the threads are damaged or 
if foreign material is present which cannot be 
removed, the screw should be discarded and a new 
one inserted. Damaged or clogged threads ona

Select any transmit mode. Key the radio and 
adjust R245 (power adjust potentiometer) for a 
power level of 40 Watts (in Canada set power 
level at 31 Watts) at a voltage of 13.6 volts. 


Switch through all the transmit modes and 
record the mode which gives the minimum 
power level. 


Switch through all the transmit modes while 
observing the de voltage indication at TP27 
(P351-2). Record the voltage level and mode 
for the mode that gives the highest voltage 
level. If this voltage level is greater than 10 V 
dc, proceed to Step 8; do not perform Steps 5,6 
and 7. 


On the mode with the highest voltage level 
found in Step 4, turn R245 clockwise until the 
de voltage level increases approximately 3 
volts, but do not exceed 12 volts. 


NOTE 

A 3 volt increase may not be 
possible on some models. In this 
case , reduce the radio power supply 
voltage (not lower than 10.8 Vdc) 
while monitoring TP27, until a 
voltage level approximately 3 volts 
higher than the voltage recorded in 
Step 4 is obtained. 


Adjust R236 for a dc voltage level that is 2 
volts higher than the level recorded in Step 4. 


Reset power supply voltage to 13.6 volts (if

3.7 RECEIVER ALIGNMENT 


Receiver alignment should be performed after 
transmitter alignment is complete. 


Several different RF front ends are available for the 
MCX1000 Radio, depending on the frequency of the 
radio and the type of front end used in the radio 
(dual front end or single front end). Section 3.7.1 
describes the dual front end alignment procedures 
while Sections 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 describe the single 
front end alignment procedures. 


3.7.1 WIDESPACE DUAL FRONT END 
ALIGNMENT 


In the following procedure, radios in the 136 to 
162 MHz frequency range are referred to as Range 1 
radio sets, and radios in the 146-to 174 MHz range 
are referred to as Range 2 radio sets. The terms 
high and low range refer to the ranges of the 
switched filters within the rf deck, the actual 
frequency ranges are determined by the 
requirements of the particular radio. 


NOTE 
The rf input coils (L701, L702, L703) 
are covered with a strip of tape 
(refer to figure 3-8.). These coils are 
set at the factory during assembly 
and MUST NOT BE FIELD 
ADJUSTED. If a replace-ment rf 
. deck is purchased from Motorola,

Adjust the volume control until a comfortable 
noise level is reached. If a 2-ohm load is used, 
adjust the volume control for an indication of 
approximately 1 volt across the load. 


Adjust L5 (quad coil) (Figure 3-6) until a 
maximum noise level is obtained from the 
speaker, or the highest reading is obtained on 
the voltmeter. 


To tune the high filter: Set the rf generator to 
the high range tune-up frequency at an rf level 
of -20 dBm, and set the mode selector of the 
radio to the highest receive operating 
frequency. 


Press the tuning probe adapter (Motorola # 
MBTRN4778) onto the probe of the rf 
voltmeter as shown in Figure 3-9. 


Place the radio into the position shown in 
Figure 3-10. and insert the test probe adapter 
tip through the hole in the main board and 
into the tuning hole of the first cavity (L707) of 
the high range switched filter. 


Hold the probe in position and turn L707 in

dip in the voltmeter reading is obtained. 


Hold the probe in position and turn L709 in 
the same direction (turned in Step 11) until a 
peak in the voltmeter reading is obtained. The 
high range switched filter is now tuned. 


To tune the low filter: Set the signal generator 
to the low range tune-up frequency at an rf 
level of -20 dBm, and the mode selector switch 
to the lowest receive operating frequency.

Both switched filters are now tuned. Continue 
with the Receiver Adjustment in Section 3.7.4. 


3.7.2 SINGLE FRONT END ALIGNMENT 


This procedure is to be used when maximum receive 
frequency separation does not exceed 4 MHz. (See 
Section 3.7.3 for alternate tuning procedures.) 


Ls 


Preset the tuning slugs of coils RF1, RF2, RF3, 
RF4 and RF5 clockwise until they reach the 
top of the coil forms. (See Figure 3-12 for coil 
positions.) 


Carefully turn the slugs of coils L01, LO2 and 
L03 clockwise until they touch the injection 
shield cover; then turn these slugs five full 
turns in a counterclockwise direction. 


Determine the tuneup frequency as follows: 
-for single mode radios; Ftune = Freceive 

-for multi-mode radios; determine Fig by 
using the formula Fyig = (Fmax' + Fmin)/2- 


NOTE 


If there are receive frequencies within 
plus or minus 0.5 MHz of Fyia, the 
tuneup should be performed on the 
receive frequency closest to Fig. If the 
two nearest frequencies are 
symetrically located above and below 
Fmia, use the lower frequency. If there 
are no frequencies within plus or 
minus 0.5 MHz of Fmiag, check the 
frequency separation. If separation 
does not exceed 2 MHz, Ftune is the 
closest frequency above Fyig. If 
separation exceeds 2 MHz, the 
alternate tuneup procedure described 
in Section 3.7.3 must be used.

to the INJ METER point (see Figure 3-12 for 
location) and set it to a low DC voltage range. 
Adjust coils L02, LO1 and LO3 (in this order) 
until a maximum DC voltage level (typically 
between 2.1 and 3.5 VDC) is obtained. Repeat 
the step until no further increase in DC 
voltage level can be obtained. 


Connect a signal generator to the antenna 
connector of the receiver and adjust the 
generator so that it will provide an on 
frequency, unmodulated signal that is 
sufficiently strong to quiet the receiver. 
Connect a DC voltmeter to the RISE MTR 
point (see Figure 3-12) and set it to a low DC 
voltage range. Adjust coils RF1, RF2, RF3, 
RF4 and RF5 (in this order) until a maximum 
DC voltage indication is obtained. Adjust the 
signal generator, as required, to maintain the 
DC voltage below saturation level of the rise 
meter during tuneup (typical 2.5 - 3.5 V). 
Repeat the step until no further increase in DC 
voltage level can be obtained.

Communications Division 


SECTION 5. 
CONTROL HEAD 


5.1 CONTROL HEAD 


The Control Head contains two boards; the 
Control Head Display Board and the Control Head 
Microcomputer Board. 


The main functional blocks of the Control 
Head are highlighted in Figure 5-1. 


Schematics which support the discussion 
below are inserted at the end of this section. 


5.2 CONTROL HEAD DISPLAY 
BOARD 
(Figures 5-2, 5-3 and 5-4) 


The Display Board contains the following 
major blocks; 

e@ LED indicators 

@ Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) 

®@ Keypad 


Voltage requirements for the display board are 
+5V, +8V and +42V. These three voltages are 
obtained from the Control Head Microcomputer 
Board. 


The microphone connector (J4200) contains all 
needed microphone connections as well as serial bus 
lines BUS+ , BUS- and the BUSY line from the 
control head microcomputer. These latter lines 
allow the radio EEPROM to be reprogrammed 
without opening the radio. In addition, the control 
head and / or radio can be system tested with an 
external serial bus controller. 


5.2.1 LED Indicators 


Indicator LED’s DS4201 to DS4209 and 


DS4216 are controlled by commands on the serial 
bus from the radio microcomputer. The LED’s are 
not controlled directly by the keys beside them on 
the control panel. Dimming is accomplished by 
software pulse width modulation of the LED driver 
transistors. Four dimming levels are selectable by 
using the dim key : full on, dim 1, dim 2, full off. 


5.2.2 VFD 


The 8 character VFD (vacuum florescent 
display) is multiplexed such that only one character 
is selected at any given time. The characters are 
refreshed at 250 Hz. The display driver IC’s U4200 
and U4201 are simple serial to parallel converters 
with a high voltage output stage. This high voltage 
(42 volts) comes from the high voltage switching 
generator residing on the control head 
microcomputer board. 


A typical display cycle for the VFD is: 


1. The control head microcomputer disables the 
VFD driver by making W4200-20 (strobe) 
high, thus turning off the display. 


2. The microcomputer loads serial data into the 
display drivers (U4200, U4201) utilizing 
W 4200-22 (clock ) and W4200-21 (data ). 


3. The microcomputer then enables the new data 
to be displayed by making W4200-20 (strobe) 
low. Dimming is accomplished by software 
pulse width modulation of the W4200-20 
(strobe) line. 


Backlight LED’s DS4210 to DS4215 provide 
illumination for the keys in dim light. The 
backlights are not dimmed but are on at all times 
except at the full off dimming level. 


5-1 


SECTION 5. CONTROL HEAD 


5.2.3 Keypad 


The control head keys each send a signal to the 
control head microcomputer by grounding two 
unique lines of the six available (W4200-27 to 32). 
The microcomputer debounces and decodes a 
keypush and sends this information to the radio via 
the serial bus. 


5.3 CONTROL HEAD 
MICROCOMPUTER BOARD 
(REMOTE MOUNT VERSION) 
(Figures 5-8 to 5-10) 


The Dash Mount and the Remote Mount 
Control Head Microcomputer Boards are similar. 
They contain the following major circuits: 


® Volume control 

® On-off switch 

® Mode (channel) selector switch 
® Microcomputer 

® Bus interface 

© Watchdog timer 

® High voltage supply 


5.3.1 On-Off, Volume 


The on-off volume switch controls a power 
transistor in the main radio chassis which provides 
power to the radio. The radio then generates the 
+8 volts required by the control head. The volume 
control pot supplies a 0 - 5 volt DC signal to pin 4 of 
plug P4700 which is then digitized by the radio and 
used to operate a digital volume control IC. 


5.3.2 Mode Selector Switch 


The rotary mode selector switch is connected 
to the control head microcomputer via pins 19, 20 
and 21 on U4700. The microcomputer determines 
the rotation direction (up or down) and sends this 
information to the radio via the serial bus. 


The +5 volt source is provided by U4701 pin 1, 
SOIC 5 V regulator. 
5.3.3 High Voltage Supply 


The 42 volts required by the VFD is generated 
by the high voltage switching generator. The 555 


timer (U4704) along with transistors Q4712 and 
Q4713 form a chopper which feeds step-up 
transformer T4700. The diode bridge consisting of 
CR4704 to CR4707, rectifies the output and 
provides approximately + 42 V. This generator also 
produces a filament voltage of 2.3 Vac biased at 5.6 
V by zener VR4710. To light a particular segment, 
the anode and grid of the VFD are made 36 volts 
higher (42 V - 5.6 V) than the filament. 


5.3.4 Watchdog Timer 


The power up/watchdog reset circuit comprises 
comparator U4702A, SCR Q4701 and associated 
circuitry. Upon power up the output of the 
comparator goes low and then high, thereby 
resetting the microcomputer (U4700). Thereafter, 
under normal circumstances, this circuit must be 
constantly “tickled” by the microcomputer to keep 
the comparator output high so that the 
microcomputer is not reset again. 


5.3.5 Bus Interface 


The Bus+ and Bus- lines comprise the serial 
bus. These two lines along with the BUSY line 
control all comunication between the control head, 
the radio and any other microprocessor controlled 
option which might be added. The Bus+ and Bus- 
lines form a differential pair with 5 volts between 
them (when one is high the other is low). These two 
lines form a bidirectional data path between the 
control head, radio and other options. The BUSY 
line is idle (U4700 pins 39 and 41 are high) when 
the control head is not sending a message. When a 
message is to be sent, the microcomputer causes 
BUSY to go high (U4700 pin 25 pulls low). 


When trouble shooting a microcomputer board 
for a suspected serial bus fault, BUS+,BUS- and 
BUSY may be easily tested. Directions for this test 
are located on the schematic diagram of the Control 
Head Microcomputer Board. (both the dash and 
remote mount versions) 


5.3.6 Other Information 


The Microphone PTT and HANGUP lines are 
read, the information encoded and sent as a serial 
bus message to the radio. 


5.4 CONTROL HEAD MICRO- 
COMPUTER BOARD (DASH 
MOUNT VERSION) 

(Figures 5-5 to 5-7) 


The Dash Mount Control Head Microcomputer 
Board is similar to the Remote Mount Control Head 
Microcomputer Board. The differences are 
described below. 


1. The bus interface circuit for the Dash Mount 
Control Head Microcomputer Board becomes 


SECTION 5. CONTROL HEAD 


Rx DATA and Tx DATA instead of BUS+ and 
BUS-. 


2. The Dash Mount Control Head Microcomputer 
Board does not contain a 5 V regulator. 


3. The Dash Mount Control Head Microcomputer 
Board does contain an 8 V regulator (U4405). 


The 8 V regulator for the Remote Mount 


Control Head Microcomputer Board resides on the 
Remote Interface Board.
