from terminals 3 and 4 of TB2 and measure the
voltage at the pc board terminals.
b. If the voltage is still low replace the processor pc
board, reconnect the wires and recheck the voltage.
c. If the voltage is normal with the leads disconnected
check the interconnecting wires for shorts using
procedures in paragraph 7-6.
NOTE
All transceivers preamplifier outputs are connected
in parallel. Therefore a continuity meter connected
to the leads removed from terminals 3 and 4 of
TB2 should read an open circuit for one polarity
and finite impedance for the opposite
polarity. A low resistance observed for both
polarities indicate a short in the system requiring
sequential disconnection of the transceivers to
isolate the problem.
d. If poor sensitivity still exists at all transceivers
perform the procedure in step 1, procedure b

to 1 and advance the RANGE control on each
unit one at a time to its normal setting.
