EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW
4 Series 3000DV2 radios can operate in the VHF 100 to 163 MHz and/or UHF 225 to 339.975 MHz
frequency bands, with 25 kHz channel spacing. 8.33 kHz channel spacing is also available in the VHF
band between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz. Standard operating modes are amplitude modulation
(AM) or frequency modulation (FM) with both clear voice and data (16 kBit cypher) modes selectable.
When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically defaults to AM, clear voice mode.
5 The radios are suitable for use in voice encryption systems and Link 11 applications. All UHF sets
can be equipped with an internal ECCM module to provide Have Quick II frequency hopping operation
(for Have Quick operating instructions refer to document PAE 31B33060SUP).
6 The equipment’s operating frequency is selected using the front panel’s numeric data keys. Up to
99 pre-set channels can be stored in the equipment’s memory. Each stored channel contains frequency
and operating mode information. Pre-set channels can be recalled for operational use, or recalled for
display without altering the operational frequency.
7 The transceiver and transmitter equipments produce a maximum output of 40 watts in AM mode
and 60 watts in FM mode. The output power can be reduced by using a front panel control. If a PAE
3640 power amplifier is used in conjunction with a 3000DV2 transmitter or transceiver, the radio’s FM
output is automatically reduced to 40 watts to produce a 100 watt output from the power amplifier.
Power Supplies
8 The radios can be operated from standard ac input supplies, or from a low voltage dc supply (refer
to section 2, specification). Both ac and dc input supplies can be simultaneously connected to the
equipment.
Section 1 3000DV2 Radios
Page 2
9 When both ac and dc supplies are connected, operation from the ac supply takes priority; automatic
change-over to the dc supply will occur if the ac supply fails. On restoration of the ac supply, the
equipment reverts to ac operation.
Built-in Test Facility
10 A built-in test (BIT) facility monitors essential parameters within the equipment, and displays an
error message if a fault is found. The BIT functions in three different ways:
❏It allows certain equipment parameters to be displayed only when selected by the user.
❏It continuously performs certain test routines while the equipment is operating.
❏It provides a complete check of the equipment when selected to do so by the user. During this
operation, normal operation of the equipment is suspended.
11 Full details of BIT operation and the resultant error messages are given in section 4.
TYPES OF INSTALLATION
12 The series 3000DV2 radios can be installed in one of four ways:
❏Mounted on fixed runners within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.
❏Fitted on telescopic slides within a standard 483 mm (19 inch) equipment rack.
❏As a free-standing desktop equipment using the PAE free-standing accessory kit.
❏In mobile applications using the PAE free-standing accessory kit plus an anti-vibration mount
kit.
Control of Equipment
13 The radios can be controlled in local, or remote modes. In local mode, control of the equipment is by
using the front panel controls and indicators as detailed in section 4. In addition to the front panel
controls, a number of inputs, outputs and control facilities can be configured through the rear panel
facilities socket. A full list of the facilities can be found in section 3.
14 As an alternative to local control, a PAE series 3000V2 Remote Control Unit (RCU) can be used; the
RCU replicates many of the radio’s front panel controls and indicators. The radio’s remote control
module can be configured for operation through dc or ac (tone) circuits. When configured for dc
operation, the RCU can be located (using suitable land lines) up to 1 km (1043 yards) from the
equipment. When configured for ac operation, no dc path is required between the equipment and the
RCU; this enables the control circuits to be routed, for example, through a microwave link.
15 For remote management of the equipment, and when part of a communication system, the PAE
Multi-Access Remote Control (MARC) system can be used.

62 Before any setting-up procedures are carried out, users must ensure that the installation
instructions, as detailed in Section 3 of this handbook, have been successfully completed. Setting-up
the equipment requires the following procedures to be carried out:
❏Switching on the ac and dc supplies as applicable to the installation.
❏Frequency selection. This procedure is used to select an operating frequency without
programming the frequency and an appropriate channel number into the radio’s memory.
❏Programming channel and frequency information into the radio’s memory.
❏Channel recall. This procedure recalls a previously stored channel, setting the equipment to
operate on the frequency appropriate to that channel number.
❏Channel verification. This procedure allows an operator to check the frequency allocated to
any stored channel number.
❏Screen blanking (if this facility is required).
❏System reset and auto-calibrate (if necessary).
❏Guard receiver operation. This procedure is appropriate only to equipment which have the
guard receiver option fitted. The guard receiver provides constant monitoring of the
international distress frequency.
SWITCHING ON
63 The equipment can be operated from an ac or a dc supply. If both ac and dc supplies are
connected, the equipment will normally operate from the ac supply; if the ac supply fails, operation will
automatically transfer (without interruption) to the dc supply. When the ac supply is restored, the
equipment reverts to ac operation. Switching on is carried out as follows:
(a) At the equipment’s front panel, ensure the AC and DC SUPPLY switches are in the off
position (down).
(b) Apply ac, and/or, dc supplies to the equipment.
(c) If an ac supply is connected to the equipment, set the AC SUPPLY to the on position (up).
Check that the AC indicator is lit.
(d) If a dc supply is connected to the equipment, set the DC SUPPLY switch to the on position
(up). Check that the DC indicator is lit.
(e) Once power is established the radio then carries out a power-on self-test (see paragraph 111
on page 30).

8.33 kHz CHANNEL OPERATION
69 The 3000DV2 VHF, or V/UHF, radios can operate between 118.000 MHz and 136.975 MHz using
8.33 kHz channel spacing. When setting a radio’s operating frequency to operate with 8.33 kHz channel
spacing, a special frequency designation should be entered from the front panel, not the actual
frequency.
70 Table 4-1 shows the special frequency pattern over the frequency range 118.0000 MHz to
118.1916 MHz. These channel designations have been defined by ICAO and are detailed in
ICAO Annex 10, Volume v, Chapter 4. The frequency designation pattern is repeated over the available
8.33 kHz frequency range (that is, up to 136.975 MHz). Examples for entering frequencies are given on
the next pages.
71 When 8.33 kHz channel spacing is used, the radio automatically selects AM and narrow-band
working. Other modes are not available with this channel spacing.

SYSTEM RESET
75 The system reset command resets the radio resulting in all options, channel and synthesiser
calibration information being lost. Before further use, and following this command, an auto-calibrate
procedure must be carried out (see paragraph 77).
76 The system reset key sequence 91, (SHIFT s), RESET resets the radio and returns it to a known
state. After a system reset (plus auto-calibrate) frequency and channel settings must be re-entered.
AUTO-CALIBRATE
77 The auto-calibrate routine recalibrates the synthesiser lock times, and needs to be initiated after a
system reset. (A system reset clears the equipment of all stored data). To initiate the auto-calibrate
routine, use the following procedure:
(a) Ensure the step auto-calibrate size is 25 kHz (0.025 MHz). The key sequence is
0.0 2 5, (SHIFT s), FREQ
(b) Initiate auto-calibrate. The key sequence for this is: 91, AUX C
(c) Set the radio to the lowest available frequency, 100 MHz (VHF or VHF/UHF radio) or
225 MHz (UHF only radio).
(d) The equipment will then go through the calibration routine which takes approximately
10 minutes. During this time, the frequency display shows Calib, the channel display shows
ON and the monitor display increments from 1 to 100 to give a progress indication.
(e) When the equipment has stepped through all UHF and VHF channel frequencies (all
channels have been calibrated when the frequency display returns to the original frequency
display), stop the routine by switching off the radio. Auto-calibration can be stopped by
entering 91, AUX C.
(f) Re-enter any required channel frequencies. The radio is now ready for operational use.
GUARD RECEIVER OPERATION
78 The GUARD mode function is only available when the guard receiver option is fitted. Selection of
the guard receiver is achieved by selecting the guard ON key to the on position (shown by the adjacent
indicator being lit).
79 The guard receiver will continuously monitor the international VHF distress frequency of 121.5 MHz
when the main receiver is set to a VHF frequency or the UHF distress frequency of 243 MHz when the
main receiver is set to a UHF frequency. When a signal is detected on the guard frequency the indicator
adjacent to the guard MUTE key will light and the audio will be heard in the loudspeaker, headset, or
through the guard receiver’s audio output that is available on the facilities 2 connector.
80 When a distress broadcast is received through the guard receiver, the operator can select the
distress frequency as the equipment’s operating frequency by using the channel recall procedure, or the
frequency selection procedure.

MARITIME BAND - ADDITIONAL OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL
100 Radios incorporating the maritime band option (Option 10) are user selectable between the
following operational modes:
❏Normal (non-maritime band operation)
❏Ship (maritime band operation)
❏Shore (maritime band operation).
NORMAL MODE
101 The normal (or non-maritime mode) will perform identically to a radio without maritime capability.
The only exception is an additional key sequence that is required to switch into one or other of the
maritime modes (see paragraph 109).
SHIP/SHORE MODES
102 In maritime mode, the channels 1 to 28, 60 to 74 and 77 to 88 (see Table 4-4) are overlaid with
international maritime VHF frequencies. These particular channels cannot be altered by the operator
although the remaining channels still have this capability.
103 As the actual frequency of transmission and reception are pre-set for maritime channels, the 6-digit
display will either indicate ‘SH IP.’ or ShorE.’. The display will also include one of the following suffix
characters:
‘I’ - denotes International selection (i.e. SH IP.I or ShorE.I)
‘A’ - denotes American selection (i.e. SH IP.A or ShorE. A)
104 The format in use may be toggled by a key sequence (see paragraph 109).
Ship/Shore View Modes
105 In the ship/shore view modes the current operating frequency is displayed at all times. During
reception, the receive frequency is displayed. the display will then indicate the transmit frequency during
subsequent transmissions (this allows test engineers to check that the radios are transmitting and
receiving on the correct frequency).
Section 4 3000DV2 Radios
Page 26
Channel Change
106 Changing maritime channels follows the same format as with normal channel changes. As digits
are entered, they are displayed on the frequency display. Once a valid selection has been made, the
new channel is selected. If this is within the maritime range, the display will return to maritime mode, i.e.
displaying ‘SH IP.A’ (SH IP.I) or ‘ShorE.A’ (ShorE.I) unless in view mode.
Frequency Change
107 Maritime frequencies cannot be changed as they are internationally set. If a frequency is entered,
the frequency display will show ‘Error’ and the channel display will show the error number 10.
Note ...
The channels not covered by the maritime standards may be re-programmed as normal. These
channels are duplicates of those in non-maritime mode and as such, any changes made will remain
when maritime mode is de-selected.
External RF Filter
108 The external RF filters normally used with 3000DV2 series equipment require a few seconds to
retune to a new frequency and cannot be used for filtering both transmission and reception signals on a
Two Frequency Simplex channel. If a filter is fitted when one of these channels is recalled, an error
message will be displayed (see Table 4-5).

malfunction occurs. The BIT functions in three different ways:
❏Power-On Self-Test (POST)
❏Continuously monitored functions
❏Interruptive self-test routines.
POWER-ON SELF-TEST
111 A power-on self-test (POST) is performed to check the basic functionality of the radio.
112 If no problems are revealed PASS is shown in the monitor display; see following example:
113 If a problem exists with the synthesiser, the frequency window shows the following message (this
message indicates the set is inoperative and cannot be used):
114 Any other post-initialisation problems are indicated by having the BIT display window show ‘POSt’
as shown in the following example:

115 On error the MEM key can be used to view each problem in turn, so that each POST problem can be
noted. For example, if the internal Have Quick module (anti-jam) option is enabled and the Have Quick
module has failed, the MEM key should be pressed a number of times and the following display will be
shown:
116 Pressing the MEM key a number of times will cause each POST problem in turn to be shown,
returning to the original display when all POST codes have been shown. The post-initialisation test can
only be cleared by switching the set off, fixing the problem concerned and switching the set back on
again. Analysing faults is outside the scope of this handbook. Reference should be made to the
appropriate technical handbook for further information.
CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED FUNCTIONS
117 The BIT automatically performs test routines that monitor the equipment’s test point voltages at
least once every two seconds. If a test point voltage is found to be outside the pre-set limit, the module
and test point numbers are stored in the fault memory. The error message ‘bit’ will be shown on the
monitor display. If the fault is only temporary, the bit error message will disappear.
118 If the fault is caused by an external influence and the set is still operating correctly at reduced power,
one of the following messages will be displayed:
❏If a high temperature within the equipment is sensed, the error message °C will be shown on
the monitor display.
❏If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the VHF antenna connection, ANT 1 will be shown on
the monitor display.
❏If the fault is caused by a high VSWR at the UHF antenna connection, ANT 2 will be shown on
the monitor display.
❏If the fault is caused by a low supply voltage AC or DC (as selected), PS will be shown in the
monitor display.
❏If the fault is with an external power amplifier, 3640, Ebit will be shown in the monitor display.
Under this condition the set will be operating correctly at full power, however the 3640 will be in
bypass condition (non-amplifying). When the 3640 fault is cleared, the following key sequence
must be entered at the radio to clear the bypass condition and restore normal working:
SHIFTs, RESET

INTERRUPTIVE SELF-TEST ROUTINE
119 This test is initiated by pressing the TEST key. During the self-test routine, normal operation of the
equipment is suspended, and the TEST indicator is on.
120 At the start of the test, the fault memory is cleared and the MEM indicator is turned off. If a fault is
found, the module and test point number is stored in the fault memory, and the MEM indicator turned on.
The test routine then proceeds to the next module.
121 On completion, one of the following status messages is shown on the MONITOR display:
❏PASS - indicating system is fully operational.
❏bit - indicating one or more out of limit conditions exist.
❏tCAr - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s carrier output power
is below specification, i.e. less than 4 watts (not applicable to receivers).
❏tAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The transmitter’s depth of modulation
is below specification, i.e., less than 50% (not applicable to receivers).
❏rSEn - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s sensitivity is below
specification (not applicable to transmitters).
❏rAUd - indicating the interruptive test has been aborted. The receiver’s audio is below
specification (not applicable to transmitters).
❏ANT 1 - indicating high VSWR present at the VHF antenna connection.
❏ANT 2 - indicating high VSWR present at the UHF antenna connection.
❏°C - indicating equipment above normal operating temperature.
❏PS - indicating low supply voltage AC or DC as selected.
❏EbIt - indicating an external error has occurred. When an external power amplifier type 3640 is
connected to the radio and this message is received, the 3640 is switched to the bypass
condition (non-amplifying). When the fault is cleared in the 3640, the following key sequence
must be entered at the radio to clear the 3640 bypass condition and restore normal working of
the 3640:
SHIFT s, RESET
Note ...
During antenna testing it is not possible for the equipment to indicate a fault on both VHF and UHF
antenna systems simultaneously. Should this situation occur, the first detected fault will be
displayed on the monitor. It is therefore advisable to check both antenna systems independently in
the event of a failure indication.

FAULT MEMORY
122 The fault memory contains one location for each module. The contents of the memory can be
viewed by pressing the memory (MEM) key. Successive MEM key presses display any other stored
faults in rotation.
123 Internal faults are displayed on the monitor display as module number and test point number.
External faults are displayed as ANT 1, ANT 2, °C, PS, and EbIt indicating VHF transmitter VSWR, UHF
transmitter VSWR, temperature, supply voltage, and an external equipment fault respectively.
124 The fault memory is cleared by pressing SHIFT s, RESET.

USER MAINTENANCE
FILTER CLEANING
125 The air filters, fitted to the equipment’s rear panel, should be cleaned every six months (or more
regularly in high dust conditions). The filter is cleaned as follows:
(a) Ensure that the equipment has been isolated from the input ac and dc supplies.
(b) At the rear of the unit, locate and remove the two screws that secure the fan filter housing to
the rear panel (see Fig. 4).
(c) Remove the filter housing, fan EMC screen and filters. Clean the filters either by using a low
pressure air supply or washing in warm water and leaving to dry. If necessary replace with a
new filter (PAE Part No. 51-00507867).
(d) Refit the filters, fan EMC screen and filter housing.
LAMP TEST
126 The lamp test allows all the front panel LEDs and lamps to be illuminated simultaneously allowing
the operator to check for unserviceable lamps/LEDs. To carry out the test, press the SHIFT(s) followed
by the 0 (zero) key. The test is cancelled by pressing the CE key. Note that this test does not check the
AC and DC supply lamps.
FREQUENCY ACCURACY CHECK
127 The ac accuracy of the transceiver’s and transmitters's frequency can be checked if a suitable
frequency counter and 30 dB attenuator are available. It is recommended the frequency check be
completed every six months as follows:
(a) Connect a digital frequency counter, through a 30 dB attenuator, to the VHF (or UHF)
antenna connector.
(b) At the front panel, select a frequency of 155 MHz (VHF transmitter) or 399 MHz (UHF
transmitter and VHF/UHF transceiver) and key the transmitter. Check that the frequency
indicated on the frequency counter is between 154.999 and 155.001 MHz (VHF) or 398.999
and 399.001 MHz (UHF).
(c) If the specification in step (b) is not met, reference should be made to PAE.
