CDM-1550 Tune up procedure ?

Post by kato56 »

Looking for a tune up procedure for my CDM 1550. Did not see it in the service manual. I'm trying to find out if I can adjust the xmit steering voltage and the CPS isn't that user friendly for me to understand.

Thanks

What radios do you own?: CDM's, CP's, CM's, and more

Which manual? Basic or Detailed?

CPS has nothing to do with what you are asking about. You'll likely need the Global Tuner Software for that.

Sorry, I meant Global Tuner. I am not familiar with the effects of K&M Tuning, VCO Attenuation, etc. so that's why I was looking for information for tuning the transmitter. I did not see steps on tuning the xmtr or rcvr in both the basic and detailed service manual, so that's why I thought there might be a service procedure out there.

Have you looked at the Global Tuner help menu?

As far as K & M tuning goes you basically key the radio on different frequencies and enter the wattage you read on a service monitor/meter. Once you do that, the values you enter in CPS for high and low power should coincide pretty closely with the actual output wattage.
