SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 


1-1 DESCRIPTION 


The Regency BTH-204 and BTH-204H are all-transistor, four -channel FM 
transceivers designed for use in the VHF (150-174 MHz) Communications Band. 
The BTH-204 operates in the 150-162 MHz segment of the band, while the BTH- 
204H operates in the 162-174 MHz segment. The transmitter and receiver sec-~- 
tions both employ band-pass circuitry for maximum RF power output and receiver 
sensitivity. Receive and transmit frequencies are beth crystal-controlled. 


The transmitter and receiver sections can be pre-tuned to any frequency within 
the specified segment of the band (150-162 MHz or 162-174 MHz). The two sections 
are independently tuned, thus either one can be tuned to a different frequency (with - 
in the proper segment) than the other. However, the maximum frequency spread 
for the transmitter section is 1 MHz, while the receiver frequency spread is 3 
MHz. In other words, the maximum difference between the lowest and highest 
frequency is 1 MHz for transmit frequencies and 3 MHz for receive frequencies. 


The receiver section is a double-conversion, super -heterodyne type receiver. 
Silicon transistors (13) are utilizes for dependability under widely varying ambient 
conditions. Also, two Integrated Circuits are used, providing for compactness and 
circuit reliability. In addition, a ceramic filter is employed in the second I.F. for 
optimizing performance where numerous channels are active within the same area 
of the country. 


The transmitter section also utilizes silicon transistors (13) throughout. Two 
ruggedized RF power transistors (BET or Balanced Emitter transistor type) are 
employed for high power output, which typically is 22 watts. A large, copper heat 
sink ensures that there is virtually no power drop off during lengthy transmissions. 
In addition, an SWR Bridge Limiting Circuit provides the necessary protection to 
the RF power transistors in the event the antenna or its coaxial feedline becomes 
open or shorted. 


The transmitter employs phase modulation for the ultimate in carrier stability. 
Internal controls are provided for adjusting the microphone gain and for setting the 
the amount of deviation. The deviation control is adjusted for a maximum of 5 KHz 
deviation, in conformance with FCC regulations. 


The attenuation of spurious emissions from the transmitter, RF power output, 
frequency stability, performance under highly varying conditions of temperature 
and battery voltage, and other specifications, all exceed the limits required for 
Type Acceptance by the Federal Communications Commission. 


NOTE: The Regency Type BTH-204 Transmitter is Type Accepted under 


Parts 21, 81, 89, 91, and 93 of the Federal Communications Com - 
mission Rules and Regulations. The Regency Type BTH-204H is 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -1- SECTION 1 


Type Accepted under Parts 21, 89, 91, and 93. The receiver sec- 
tion of both units is Certified under Part 15, Subpart C as required 
by the FCC Rules and Regulations.

1-5 INSTALLATION 
Mobile (12 VDC) Installation: 


The BTH-204 or BTH-204H transceiver is designed for installation in any 
vehicle that has a 12 VDC negative ground system. The RED lead, with the 
fuse holder, must be connected to the POSITIVE (+) terminal side of the battery. 
The BLACK lead should be connected to the NEGATIVE terminal side of the bat- 
tery, or to a metal chassis that is grounded to the negative terminal. In the 
event that the battery is remotely located, it may be necessary to install addi- 
tional wires for properly connecting the radio to the battery's terminals. 


THE ANTENNA USED SHOULD BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED FOR THE 50 OHM 
OUTPUT OF THE TRANSMITTER, A HIGH SWR WILL REDUCE THE POWER OUT, 
OR MAY EVEN SHUT OFF THE TRANSMITTER ENTIRELY. 


To reduce the possibility of theft, the Security Bracket should be installed as 
shown in Figure 1-1. The padlock used should be of substantial construction and 
can be either a key of combination operated type. | ( 


An external (or remotely mounted) speaker can be used by first opening the 
link between terminals No. land No. 2. Then, connect one lead of external 
speaker to the terminal No. 4 (chassis ground) and the other lead to terminal 
No. 1. The use of a 3 to 4 ohm speaker is recommended for optimum perfor - 
mance (such as Regency's MA-8).

1-6 OPERATION. 


The OFF-ON switch is an integral part of the VOLUME control. Turning 
this control fully counter -clockwise until a click is heard will turn the unit off. 
Maximum volume, or audio output, occurs when the volume control is turned 
fully clockwise. 


The receiver's audio is squelched off when the SQUELCH control is turned 
COUNTER -CLOCKWISE. Turning this control counter -clockwise until the noise 
just disappears (threshold squelch) permits the receiver to be "quiet" until an 
actual signal is received. With the squelch control set fully counter -clockwise, 
the receiver will still operate properly and will not be locked-out (prevented 
from resporiding to a received signal). 


The transceiver is capable of two-way communications on any one of four 
discrete, crystal-controlled frequencies, or channels. Selection of the de- 
sired channel is accomplished by turning the CHANNEL SELECTOR knob to 


Below each channel designation (F1 for example) is an LED which glows 
whenever that particular channel is selected. These lamps make it easy to 
tell at a glance which channel has been selected and to also verify that the 
radio is turned on. The remaining LED, labeled TRANS, is a Transmit 
Indicator which glows whenever the transmitter is keyed (activated). 


A high impedance ceramic microphone is supplied with the unit. To in- 
stall the microphone on the unit, insert the connector plug into its socket with 
the locating tab toward the bottom of the radio. The connector is then locked 
into place by rotating the locking ring 1/4 turn clockwise. 


To transmit a message, it is only necessary to press the push-to-talk 
button on the microphone and speak into the microphone. The Transmit 
Indicator will come on to signify that the transmitter is activated. Best 
results are obtained by holding the microphone about one inch from the lips 
and inclined at about a 30 degree angle away from the face. Speak clearly 
in a normal tone of voice across the face of the microphone. 


1-7 CRYSTAL SPECIFICATIONS 


Miniature plug-in crystals are utilized by both the receiver and trans - 
mitter sections. Because of the high accuracy (close tolerances) required, 
Regency crystals are recommended. Hither receive or transmit crystals 
must be ordered by specifying the Channel Frequency and Part No. 2311- 
0000-000 for Receive or Part No. 2312-0000-000 for Transmit. Use of 
other manufacturers’ transmit crystals may cause violation of the FCC 
Rules and Regulations. 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H 5- SECTION 1 


If desired, the RECEIVE crystals may be purchased from other manu- 
facturers. The following specifications must be included in the order: 


a. Crystal Frequency, determined as follows: 
Crystal Frequency = Receive Frequency -10.7 MHz 
3 


EXAMPLE: 


Crystal Frequency = 156.300 MHz -10.700 MHz 
3 


Crystal Frequency = 48.533 333 MHz 
b. Frequency Tolerance of .001% @ 25°C; .002% from -10 to +60°C 
c. 3rd Overtone 
d. Series resonance minus 600 Hz 
e. Maximum equivalent series resistance of 35 ohms 
f. Drive level of 2 MW (max.) 
g. Holder: HC-25/U 


1-8 CRYSTAL INSTALLATION 


Prior to installing a crystal, the transceiver's cover will have to be re- 
moved. To remove this cover, unscrew the two large bolts located at the sides 
of the unit. The cover may then be slipped off by sliding it toward the rear of 
the unit. 


Next, the speaker should be removed. Unscrew the two small metal screws 
(one located on each side) holding the speaker mounting brackets in place. Then 
carefully place the speaker assembly along side of the unit. 


See Figures 1-2 and 1-3 for proper Crystal Location and Installation. Insert 
the Receive crystal in the proper channel; be sure the crystal is firmly seated in 
the socket pins. 


Special care must be taken to install the TRANSMIT crystal, correctly. The 
conduction type crystal heater, which is used to heat the crystals ata very low 
ambient temperature, relies on having proper physical contact between the heat - 
er element and the crystal for effective operation. The Crystal Heater Detail 
(Figure 1-2) demonstrates the correct method of crystal installation. The crystal 
must be pressed down into the socket pins far enough for the rim around the bot- 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -6- SECTION 1 


tom of the crystal to clear the heating element and allow good contact between the 
side of the crystal and the element. 


For the TRANSMIT crystal, there is a variable capacitor that is to be used for 
"Netting" (adjusting to the exact frequency) purposes. This netting should be made 
with an accurate frequency counter, such as Regency EC-175. See 3-8 for detailed 
Crystal Netting Procedure. 


NOTE: FCC Regulations require that the TRANSMIT crystal be installed 
and adjusted "on frequency" under the supervision of a technician 
holding either a First or Second Class FCC license. 


After the crystals are installed, and netted, reinstall the speaker assembly. 
Then, carefully reinstall the cover and its hardware.

SECTION 2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS 


2-1 RF - MODULATOR BOARD 


Q201 is an RF amplifier with broad-band tuned circuits in its input and out- 
put circuitry. The output of the RF amplifier is coupled to the input of the mixer, 
Q202, a Field Effect transistor. 


The first L.O. (local oscillator), uses third overtone crystals. (The number 
marked on the crystal is the receive frequency). Oscillator injection to the mixer 
is accomplished by mutual coupling between the windings of T201. 


The 10.7 MHz output frequency from the FET mixer is selected by T202. This 
output is link-coupled to T101, the IF input tuned circuit. 


The Modulator Section of this board is described in 2-4 in conjunction with the 
transmitter board. 


2-2 IF - AUDIO BOARD 


The IF input circuitry consists of T101 and Q101, used as an IF amplifier. 
The output of this amplifier is fed to an Integrated Circuit, IC101, which con- 
tains the second mixer and L.O. circuitry, operating at 10.245 MHz. In some 
locations where a strong secondary Image Signal has been encountered, this os - 
cillator's frequency is moved to 11.155 MHz. (The crystal frequency is stamped 
on the top of the crystal). 


The 455 KHz output of IC101 (terminal 5) is coupled through a tuned circuit to 
the input of the ceramic filter, CF101. CF101 is a narrow-band filter centered 
at 455 KHz. The excellent band-pass characteristics of CF101 provide for very 
good adjacent channel rejection. The output of CF101 is coupled through another 
tuned circuit to the input of Integrated Circuit IC102. 1C102 is a series of ampli- 
fiers providing approximately 60 DB gain at 455 KHz. Also included in IC 102 is 
the limiting circuitry and a quadrature detector circuit. L103, connected be- 
tween terminals 2 and 12 of IC102, is the adjustable quadrature coil. 


The audio output from IC102 (terminal 1) is coupled to the input of the audio 
amplifier circuit and to the input of the noise-operated squelch circuit. 


Transistor Q102 is an amplifier whose frequency response extends from 
approximately 5 KHz to 25 KHz. Q102 amplifies the "noise" occuring in this 
frequency range. The noise is coupled to the base of Q103. Q103 is used as 
a detector which rectifies the amplified noise and produces a DC voltage at 
its collector. When the DC voltage at the collector of Q103 is positive and 
of sufficient value to provide base bias for Q104, Q104 turns on and provides 
essentially a short circuit between the base of Q105 and ground. This action 
turns off Q105 and the audio output from the receiver is squelched (muted), 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -1- SECTION 2 


When a signal (carrier) arrives, the noise input to the detector (Q103) is re- 
duced to the point where the DC voltage at the base of Q104 is no longer suf- 
ficient to cause Q104 to conduct. 


At this time, the audio pre-amplifier (Q105) is allowed to operate nor - 
mally and its audio output is applied through the volume control to the base 
of the audio amplifier, Q106. Q106 supplies a signal to the audio driver 
transistors, Q107 and Q108. The output transistors, Q109 and Q110, form 
a quasi-complementary, transformerless stage capable of delivering 5 watts 
to the speaker. 


2-3 LED DISPLAY BOARD 


Channel Indicator: 


When a particular channel is selected, the cathode of that channel's LED 
indicator (LD401, 402, 403 or 404) is grounded and voltage to the LED is pro- 
vided by the transceiver's supply voltage. 


Transmit Indicator: 


The Transmit Indicator (LD405) functions similarly, except that the cathode 
is already grounded and voltage to the LED is provided by the transmitter sup- 
ply voltage. 


2-4 TRANSMITTER BOARD 


Q308 is in a crystal oscillator circuit operating at approximately 13 MHz. 
Each crystal has a trimmer capacitor in series with it. This trimmer capac- 
itor is used for fine (small) adjustments to the crystal's frequency. 


The crystal heater assembly consists of R334 (or R335) and two spring clips. 
R334 (or R335) is located between two crystals in such a manner that the spring 
clips force the crystals into reliable physical contact with this resistor. Power 
dissipation in the resistor is sufficient to cause conduction heating of the crystals 
to above 0°C when the ambient temperature is -30°C. Control circuitry consisting 
of Q309, Q310 and associated circuitry automatically adjusts the power delivered 
to the crystal heaters. Heater turn-on is nominally between 0°C and -5°C. Both 
heaters will be completely shut off at normal ambient temperatures. Refer to 
Figure 1-2 for detailed drawing. 


The oscillator's frequency is phase-modulated by two varactor diodes, CR302 
and CR303, which are connected across a coil (L306) that is lightly coupled to the 
emitter circuit of the oscillator. L306 is tuned to the crystal frequency. The 
oscillator's phase-modulated output is applied to the base of Q307. Q307 isa 
multiplier whose output frequency is three (3) times the crystal frequency. The 


7 BTH - 204, BTH - 204H “2 SECTION 2 


signal from Q307 is transformer coupled to the base of Q306. Q306 is used as a 


doubler, a stage that multiplies its input signal's frequency by two. Thus, the 
output frequency of Q306 is six (6) times the crystal frequency. This signal is 
then applied to Q303, which is also operating as a doubler. The frequency of 
the output signal from Q303 is twelve (12) times the crystal frequency. This 
frequency is the ultimate transmitter output frequency. 


Q302 is a power amplifier operating "straight through". Q302 provides the 
drive (RF signal) required by the ‘final stage, Q301, to deliver at least 20 
watts of RF power to the antenna through the impedance matching network in 
its collector circuit. Q301, Q302, and Q303 operate in the Class C Mode. 


The transmitter output transistor, Q301 is protected from damage due to 
excessive SWR on the antenna transmission line by the SWR Bridge and Drive 
Limiter circuits. In the event of a load mismatch at the antenna connector, 
the SWR Bridge consisting of T301, R301, R305, and CR301 will detect the 
mismatch and send a signal to the Drive Limiter. The Drive Limiter (Q304 
and Q305) will then bias Q306 in an off condition, preventing possible damage 
to the power amplifier (Q301). Load mismatch is detected by comparing the 
phases of output voltage and current to determine if standing waves exist on 
the feedline to the antenna. 


The modulator section of the transmitter uses a high impedance ceramic 
microphone. The microphone signal is applied to a Field Effect transistor, 
Q205. The output of Q205 is applied through the microphone gain control 
(R217) to Q206. The mike gain control is adjusted to compensate for the 
output differences in the voice levels of various operators and will normally 
be set at about 75% of maximum clockwise rotation. This control sets the 
mike signal to the proper clipping level for the logarithmic clipper diode 
circuitry between stages Q206 and Q207. Suitable pre-emphasis and de- 
emphasis is used preceding and following the diode clippers. The deviation 
control (R228) in the collector circuit of Q207 sets the level of the audio 
signal voltage applied to the Varactor diode modulator circuit. This level 
is adjusted for a maximum of 5 KHz deviation with the clippers driven to 
full clip by a 1 KHz audio signal. 


The push-to-talk (PTT) Switch in the microphone applies a ground to the 
transmit -receive relay coil, which activates the relay. The T-R relay 
switches the supply voltage between the receiver and transmitter and switches 
the antenna between the receiver input and the transmitter output.

SECTION 3 ALIGNMENT AND TUNING PROCEDURES 


3-1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED - RECEIVER ALIGNMENT 


FM Signal Generator 

Oscilloscope 

AC VTVM 

Noise Generator (To Be Used In 3-5 Only) 
Audio Generator -HP 200D or Equivalent 


Frequency Counter - Regency EC-175 or Equivalent 


: During all steps of alignment, the squelch control should be in the 


maximum clockwise position (minimum squelch action). 


All transceivers should be aligned to the channel nearest the center 
of the frequency range over which they will operate. 


Diagrams 4-1 and 4-3 show the location of all coils to be adjusted. 


3-2 QUADRATURE DETECTOR ALIGNMENT 


3-2-1 


3-2-2 


3-2-3 


3-2-4 


Connect the FM Signal Generator to the antenna input jack. Ac- 
curately set frequency to the center of the channel being used for 
alignment. Modulate Signal Generator with 1000 Hz, 3 KHz deviation. 


Connect the oscilloscope to Test Point A, (Junction of C126, C128, 
R113). See Diagram 4-4. 


Adjust output of Signal Generator until all noise in scope pattern 
just disappears. 


Adjust L103 for maximum peak amplitude, while maintaining symmetry 
of the detected signal. 


3-3 IF ALIGNMENT 


3-3-1 


3-3-2 


3-3-3 


3-3-4 


Disconnect RF Signal Generator from antenna input. 

Connect AC voltmeter across speaker terminals. 

Adjust volume control for 0.5 volt noise reading on AC voltmeter. 
Peak T102 (bottom core and top core, in that order) for maximum 
noise (maximum meter reading on AC voltmeter). If circuit is not 


badly misaligned, the correct point should be within two turns of the 
cores’ present position. 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -1- SECTION 3 


NOTE: Coils will have two peaks; adjust core to peak away from the center 
of form. 


3-3-5 Adjust volume control for 1.0 volt noise reading on AC voltmeter. 


3-3-6 Connect the R.F. Signal Generator to the antenna input jack. Turn 
modulation off. Set the generator to the operating crystal frequency. 


3-3-7 Adjust the Signal Generator output until the voltmeter reads 0.2 volts. 


3-3-8 Adjust T101, T202, T201 (bottom core) and T201 (top core), (in that 
order), for maximum quieting (lowest meter reading). Adjust Signal 
Generator to maintain reading on AC voltmeter between 0.1 and 0.2 
volts. If two peaks occur, use the one away from the center of the 
coil form. | 


3-3-9 Set the generator frequency to the secondary image frequency. This 
is 910 KHz BELOW the channel frequency. 


NOTE: If the second oscillator is at 11.155 MHz, the secondary image fre- 
quency is 910 KHz ABOVE the channel frequency. Check the frequency 
marked on top of Y101 (10.245 MHz for BELOW and 11.155 for ABOVE). 


3-3-10 Adjust the Signal Generator output until voltmeter reads 0.2 volts. 

3-3-11 Adjust T102 (bottom core), T102 (top core), T101 and T202 (in that 
order) for maximum quieting degradation (highest meter reading). 
Adjust Signal Generator output to maintain voltmeter reading be- 


tween 0.1 and 0.2 volts. The correct position for the cores should 
be within two turns of the position in Step No. 4 and 8. 


3-4 RF ALIGNMENT (RECEIVER) 


3-4-1 Pre-Set the cores of L201, L202, L203 flush with the tops of the 
coils forms. 


3-4-2 Connect AC voltmeter across the speaker terminals. 


3-4-3 With nothing connected to the antenna input, adjust the volume 
control until AC voltmeter reads 1 volt of noise. 


3-4-4 Connect Signal Generator to antenna input jack. Set generator 
accurately to the center frequency of the channel being used for 


alignment. Turn modulation off. 


3-4-5 Adjust output of Signal Generator until AC voltmeter reads 0.2 
volts. 


BTH -2 : 
04, BTH - 204H -2- SECTION 3 


3-4-6 Adjust L201, L202 and L203, in that order, for maximum quieting 
(lowest meter reading). Adjust Signal Generator output to main- 
tain voltmeter reading between 0.1 and 0.2 volts. Repeat adjust - 
ments until no further improvements can be made. If two peaks 
occur on any core, use the peak with the core nearest the top of 
the coil form. 


NOTE: The following step may be omitted if performed in IF Alignment 
section. | 


3-4-7 Adjust T102 (bottom core) and T201 (top core), in that order, for 
maximum quieting (lowest meter reading). Adjust Signal Generator 
to maintain reading on AC voltmeter between 0.1 and 0.2 volts. If 
two peaks occur, use the one away from center of the coil form. 


3-5 NOISE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT 


NOTE: This adjustment may be required only if excessive "ignition noise" 
is encountered. Usually, the noise problem is caused by improper 
or inadequate noise suppression of the vehicle's ignition system. 

3-5-1 Using a "T" connector, connect the FM Signal Generator and the 

Noise Generator to the antenna input jack. Ifa ‘IT connector is 
not available, connect the FM generator to the antenna jack and 
feed in the noise signal by means of a 3 or 4 turn loop coupled to 
the input coil, L201. 


3-5-2 Connect the oscilloscope to the junction of Q109's emitter and Q110's 
collector, or to the speaker terminals. 


3-5-3 Apply a 3 to 10 microvolt signal, as accurately as can be set to the 
exact channel frequency (carrier only, no modulation), and adjust 
the output of the Noise Generator until spikes are clearly seen in 
the audio output as viewed on the oscilloscope. The noise spikes 
will either mostly’ be positive or negative if an unbalanced con- 
dition exists. 


3-5-4 Tune L103 (Quadrature Detector Coil) until the noise spikes are 
equally positive or negative in their amplitude. The overall am - 
plitude of these spikes should be much less as balance is 
achieved. Usually, only a 1/4 turn, or less, is needed to obtain 
the proper adjustment for best noise balance. Ifa proper balance 
can not be achieved, repeat the IF and RF alignments and then 
try the noise balance adjustment again. 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -3- SECTION 3 


3-6 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED - TRANSMITTER ALIGNMENT 


3-6-1 RF wattmeter (or equivalent device which provides a 50 ohm load 
at the appropriate power range). 


3-6-2 Frequency Counter - 170 MHz preferred; 50 MHz acceptable. 


3-6-3 FM Modulation Meter - Lampkin 205A or equivalent peak reading 
deviation meter, 


3-6-4 Audio generator - HP 200D or equivalent. 
3-6-5 VIVM 
3-6-6 Oscilloscope 

3-7 TRANSMITTER TUNING PROCEDURE 


NOTE: The encircled numbers on diagram 4-9 correspond to the LAST 
digit in the following procedure steps. The unit must be con- 
nected to a suitable 50 ohm load for proper alignment of the final 
transmitter stage. 


3-7-1 Install crystals. For full bandwidth alignment, a center tune -up 
crystal must be used. Alignment is done on the center tune-up 
frequency and then the bandwidth is checked using the high and 
low crystals, The total maximum bandwidth for Transmitter op- 
eration is 1.0 MHz (500 KHz above and 500 KHz below the tune-up 
frequency). 


3-7-2 Tighten trimmer capacitor C303. 


3-7-3 Set the Netting" capacitors (4 trimmers; see diagram 4-10) to 
mid-range. 


3-7-4 With the transmitter keyed and the tune-up frequency crystal op- 
erating, voltage at this point should be 2.5 to 3.0 volts as read on 
a VIVM. 


3-7-5 Move the VITVM's probe to this point and adjust L306 for a maximum 
reading (1.8 to 2.0 volts). 


3-7-6 Move the VTVM's probe to this point. Alternately peak the upper and 
lower cores of T305 for a maximum reading (normally 1.5 to 2.0 volts; 
however, if T304 is completely detuned, this voltage can be as high as 

_ 4.0 volts). Check this reading at the lowest and highest crystal fre - 
quencies installed for proper bandpass alignment. 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H 4- SECTION 3 


Repeat steps 3-7-5 and 3-7-6 until no further improvement can be 
made. After these adjustments have been made, L306 and the pri- 
mary (bottom core) of T305 should not be changed during the re- 
mainder of the alignment procedure. 


NOTE: The frequency of the oscillator will change slightly whenever L306 

| and [305 are adjusted. Therefore, if the adjustment of these parts 
is ever changed, it is important to perform the Crystal Netting Pro- 
cedure, 3-8. 


3-7-7 Set the top core (secondary) of T304 flush with the top of the coil form. 

With the VIVM probe on T.P.6, adjust the lower core (primary) of 
T304 for a minimum voltage. This dip will be fairly sharp and will 
reduce the voltage at T.P.6 to approximately 1.5 volts. Move the 
VTIVM probe to T.P.7. Adjust the top core of T304 downward until 
the voltage on T.P.7 increases to 0.5 to 0.6 volts. If a peak in RF 
power output is reached before this voltage is 0.6 volts, leave the 

top core tuned to the power peak. Under no circumstances should 

the top core of T304 be tuned further down in the coil form than the 
point where T.P. 7 is 0.6 volts. 


3-7-8 With VI'VM probe on T.P.8, adjust the lower core (primary) of 
T303 for a minimum voltage. Adjust the top core (secondary) of 
T303 for maximum power output on the wattmeter. During Power 
Amplifier alignment, the secondary of T303 is retouched for max- 
imum power. At that time, the voltage at T.P.7 should be re- 
checked and the top core of T304 readjusted, if necessary, as in 
3-7-7 above. 


NOTE: If the Power Amplifier Stage (Q301) is detuned to the extent that no 
power indication can be obtained, the following procedure can be 
used to set the top core of T303 near its correct position: move 
the VITVM's probe to Test Point 8. Adjust the top core of T303 
for a MINIMUM voltage at this point. Now procede with 3-7-9 
and the rest of the Tuning Procedure. With the transmitter de- 
livering rated output power, the voltage drop across R329 will 
normally be 0.9 to 1.2 VDC. 


3-7-9 Set the core of T302 to the center of the coil winding. 

3-7-10 Power Amplifier Alignment 

NOTE: It is desirable, during Power Amplifier Alignment, to place the 
unit, especially the transmitter section, on a sheet of steel to 
simulate the presence of the unit's cover. This sheet should be 


large enough so that it completely covers the bottom of the trans - 
mitter board and protrudes beyond the chassis on both sides. Do 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -5- SECTION 3 


not permit this sheet to touch any part protruding below the trans - 
mitter board. 


a. Set C303 almost tight. 
b. The following adjustments are peaked in the order listed for 
maximum power output as indicated on the R.F. wattmeter. 


1.) Peak C303 

2.) Peak C308 

3.) Repeat the above two steps until 
no further improvement is noted 

4,) Repeak the top core of T303 (secondary) 
as in 3-7-8 above. 


Check bandwidth with low and high frequency crystals. Adjust T1303 
for best output compromise between high and low crystals. Adjusting 
the core of T302 will sometimes help widen the bandwidth or increase 
power outpuf. C308 is the final adjustment for best compromise over 
the frequency range. 


3-8 CRYSTAL NETTING PROCEDURE 


NOTE: The following procedures should be performed with the unit at a 
temperature of 70 to 80°F. The frequency of each channel must 
be set to within +.0001% of the assigned channel frequency. The 
crystal heater should not be in operation at this ambient temper - 
ature. Check to make certain that it is turned off before proceeding 
further with crystal netting. The voltage drop across R334 (or R335) 
is zero volts when the crystal heater is off. A useful operational 
check (after the crystals are netted) is to spray R'T-301 with a 
"cold" spray, lowering its temperature below the heater's turn on _. 
point of approximately 30°F, When this is done, the crystal heaters 
should turn on, as evidenced by Q310 being saturated (low collector 
voltage). 


3-8-1 Use the following procedure if a 170 MHz Counter is available: 


a. Connect the unit to the RF wattmeter or dummy load. 

b. Turn transmitter on (key the mike's PTT switch or ground pin 
No. 2 of J2). 

c. Place an RF pick-up loop consisting of 3 or 4 turns near the final 
transistor's output circuit (near L301: see diagram 4-7). 

d. Read the frequency on the counter. 

e. Adjust the appropriate netting capacitor (C335, C337, C339, C341; 
see diagram 4-7 for their location) until the frequency being read 
on the counter is ''ON"' channel. 


BTH - 204, BTH - 204H -6- SECTION 3 


3-8-2 Use the following procedure if only a 50 MHz Counter is available: 


a. Connect the unit to the RF wattmeter or dummy load. 
b. Turn transmitter on. 
c. Place an RF pick-up loop near the top of coil T305. 


NOTE: Due to a possible slight,"\pulling"” of the crystal's frequency, couple 
the pick-up loop as lightly as possible to the top coil of T305. Coupling 
to the bottom coil will prevent a proper crystal netting adjustment from 
being made. FCC Regulations may be violated if an improper netting 
adjustment is made. Use the maximum sensitivity available at the 
counter 's input. 


d. Multiply the frequency read on the counter by four (4) to find the 
ultimate frequency being transmitted. 


EXAMPLE: Frequency read = 39.20000 MHz 
Ultimate Frequency = 4 x 39.20000 = 156.800 MHz 


e. Adjust the appropriate netting capacitor until the frequency being 
read is within the required tolerance at one-fourth (1/4) of the 
ultimate transmitted frequency. 


EXAMPLE: Ultimate Frequency = 156.800 MHz 
Counter Reading = 156.800 MHz = 39.20000 MHz +.0001% 
& 


3-9 DEVIATION AND MIC GAIN ADJUSTMENT 


3-9-1 Use the following procedure for proper adjustment of the Mike Gain 
(R217) and Deviation (R228) controls (see diagram 4-10 for their 
locations): 


a. Connect the unit to the RF wattmeter or dummy load. 

b. Connect the scope probe to the junction of C225 and CR201. See 
4-1 for location. It may be more convenient to connect the probe 
to the cathode lead of CR202. 

c. Key the transmitter and talk into the microphone with a normal 
voice level. Observe the waveform on the scope and adjust R217 
(Mike Gain) until approximately 10% of the voice peaks are clipped. 

d. Connect the audio generator to the mike input terminals. Set the 

_ audio voltage level to 0.5 - 1.0 volts RMS at 1000 Hz. 

e. Couple the FM Modulation Meter's RF pick-up to the transmitter. 

f. Key the transmitter and adjust R228 (Deviation Control) so that the 
maximum deviation is no greater than +5 KHz. 

g. Reduce the audio input level to 0.25 volts RMS. The deviation 
should not be greater than +5 KHz.
