Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Standards: To minimise exposure to RF fields during
equipment service and repair, the antenna terminal of the SRM9000 radio should be connected
to a suitable non-radiating RF load when the transmitter is in use.
WARNING
SRM9000 radio equipment is to be connected only to 12-volt negative earth systems. In vehicles
with a 24-volt supply, an approved 24V/12V converter must be used. The supply must not be
taken from a 12V tap on the battery.
WARNING
To avoid RF injury, do not touch the Antenna when the Transmitter is in use.
WARNING
Double-fused 12V Supply Leads, Antenna cables and Speaker wiring is to be routed as far
away as possible from gas or fuel lines or any electronic control device. The radio transceiver
and antenna are to be mounted as far away as possible from these devices and their cabling.
Equipment is to be installed, by a competent person, in accordance with the requirements of
local radio communications authorities and/or Health and Safety regulations.
Post installation checks should be performed to ensure that there is no effect on the operation
of the vehicle’s electronics.
WARNING
Do not operate your radio, without a handsfree kit, whilst driving a vehicle.
WARNING
Do not operate your radio in an explosive atmosphere. Obey the “Turn Off Two-way Radios”
signs where these are posted, e.g. on a petrol station forecourt.
Caution
During disassembly and assembly, refer to Torque Settings in Section 1.7
Caution
Customer configuration files should be saved prior to any alignment adjustments.
Preparing the radio for alignment will erase from the radio all customer PMR and Trunking
configuration data (channel, signalling information etc). The only data retained by the
Alignment Tool is the factory alignment data for the radio (DAC settings for Tx power, front-end
tuning etc).

INTRODUCTION
1.1
GENERAL
The SRM9000 series of FM mobile radio transceivers is designed for PMR and Trunked operation in VHF
and UHF radio systems.
The system is available in a number of functional variants. Each variant uses the standard SRM9000
mobile transceiver, which is software configured for different control ancillaries. The software configuration
together with the type of controller (Basic or Enhanced microphone, Handset, or Alphanumeric Control
Head) determines the radio features for the different variants as follows.
PMR/Trunked
Basic Telemetry Transceiver No Display or Control Head.
SRM9005
Low Range Version with Basic Fist Microphone.
SRM9010
Mid Range Version with Enhanced Alphanumeric Fist Microphone.
SRM9020
High-end Version with Graphics Display Handset.
SRM9022
High-end Version with Alpha Display Handset.
SRM9025
System Level Remote Control Head with Alpha capability and Handset /
Fist Microphone / Desk Microphone options.
SRM9030
1.2
SCOPE
This manual provides technical specifications, description and servicing details for the SRM9000 series of
mobile radio transceivers together with the related microphones and control heads.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, the text and illustrations refer to all versions in the series.
1.3
DESCRIPTION
The design concept utilises wide band analogue techniques for RF transmit and receive circuitry with digital
signal processing of analogue or digital modulation and demodulation. Electronic tuning is used throughout
the mobile to eliminate manual tuning and level adjustment.
A Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and a Programmable Gate Array (PLA) are used with other dedicated
devices in the SRM9000 to perform the following functions under software control:
•
Frequency Synthesis of all operating frequencies.
•
Modulation and demodulation of 10/12.5/20/25kHz FM signals on a per channel basis.
•
Modem functionality for specified data modulation schemes.
•
Filtering, pre-emphasis, de-emphasis, limiting, compression, muting, CTCSS, Selcall or any other
frequency or level dependent signal modification.
•
Serial communications with the Control Ancillaries and Alignment Tool.
•
Tuning Control data for Tx and Rx.
The SRM9000 Transceiver comprises a rugged extruded aluminium sleeve, which houses a single printed
circuit board assembly and provides all heatsink requirements. The sleeve housing is closed at each end
by high-impact plastic end caps; all cable ports and mechanical interfaces are sealed against moisture and
dust ingress.
The PCB assembly comprises a single, multi-layer PCB containing all the RF and control circuitry. The
PCB seats on an extruded aluminium tray that slides into the outer aluminium sleeve where it is secured
with screws accessed from the outside of the case. Provision is made under the main PCB tray assembly
for additional hardware options as well as optional accessories plugged directly into the main PCB.
There are two installation methods available for the SRM9000. The outer aluminium extrusion has side
flanges that allow the mobile to be bolted directly to any flat surface in the vehicle. A quick release cradle is
also available.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS AND NAMING
There are various associated items of Software (SW) required for the SRM9000 radio and programmer to
operate. This section simply defines the naming rules of the SW files to allow identification and conformity.
This allows different versions of SW to be distributed and co-exist without confusion.
The SRM9000 Transceiver has three items of SW for digital and analogue PMR, Trunking and Alignment.
The 9022/9025 Controller Mic/Handsets have one SW file for their PIC’s and 9030 Control Head has two
SW files for its Flash and EEPROM.
Filename Structure
1.5.1
Basically the Filename Structure is defined as follows:
•
2 character Application code
•
2 or 3 character SW Type code
•
3 character version number
•
File Extension as required.
eg.
99tm533.bin
99p_533.bin
99s_533.bin
99cf101.hex
99ce101.hex
Application Code
1.5.2
This identifies the application the SW was initially designed for:

1.5.4
Version Number
This is a 3-digit number allocated by Engineering to identify the SW version.
e.g.
1.5.5
103
Version 1.03
Exclusions
The Programmer SW does not follow the above rules as it is a PC based Program and its version number
can be easily identified by starting the SW. Later releases of SW will be backward compatible, unless
deliberately not so, in which case a different directory structure/path may be implemented.
1.5.6
Displaying Software Versions
Each Transceiver SW code file (e.g. 99tm533.bin, etc.) contains version information about itself and
possibly compatible Programming SW.
For Radio SW saved on Disk, this information can be displayed via the Programmer function:
Options : Upgrade_Software : Get_File
For Software loaded in the radio, information can be read from the Transceiver and displayed via the
Programmer function:
Options : Radio_Information

radio is switched on. This is only implemented in CH V1.06 SW (Oct/2000) and later.
SRM9025 Handset SW has a similar method of Version identification.
SRM9020 Microphone SW has a similar method of Version identification.
SRM9022 Handset SW can be displayed by pressing the top side button when the radio is switched on.
SRM9010 Microphone does not have any method of determining loaded SW. There is only one version of
this SW in the field.
1.5.7
Automatic Version Upgrade Prompting
When a configuration is downloaded to the Transceiver, the Programmer performs a brief check on the SW
currently installed in the radio. If a later version of SW exists (on PC hard-disk) then the Programmer will
prompt the user with the following message:
NOTE. As early versions of FPP cannot recognise a more recent revision of the radio, it is important that
the latest FPP version is downloaded from http://www.tmcradio.com.
If YES is selected, the Transceiver Radio code is updated before the new configuration is downloaded.
If NO is selected, only the configuration is downloaded.
This process also updates the Startup code to ensure it is compatible with the loaded PMR or Trunk code.
Note : If the …\SRM9000\FPP\RadioSW folder contains no files, then the above check will not be
performed.

Transceiver SW Description, Start-up and Backup-Software
1.5.8
The SRM9000 Transceiver software is split into the following separate modules:
•
Bootloader and Backup Software
•
Start-Up Software
•
PLA and PLA-Backup Software
•
Mainline PMR Software
•
Mainline Trunk Software
When the Transceiver starts, it basically performs the following steps:
•
Initial execution starts with the Bootloader code, which attempts to load the Start-Up Software (if
Start-Up checksum is bad, then the Backup Software is loaded.)
•
Start-Up Software then downloads the PLA code (or PLA-Backup code if PLA checksum is bad)
to the PLA device. If both PLA and PLA-Backup checksums are bad then the radio is not
operational and serial communication is not possible.
•
Start-Up Software then reads the On/Off switch plus Ignition-Sense lines and compares these
with saved parameters to determine if the radio should be continue to power-up or switch itself off
again.
•
Start-Up software then attempts to load either PMR or Trunk Mainline Software (dependent on
saved parameter) and switches execution to complete the power-up process and start normal
operation.
If the Mainline Software cannot be loaded, or a Job file configuration has not been loaded (e.g. nonexistent or checksum fail) then execution switches to Backup Software until the error is corrected (e.g. by
FPPing the radio).
There are three states that the radio can configure after switch-on:
1.5.9
•
Mainline Trunk Software or Mainline PMR Software (normal power-up)
If the radio does not have a valid Job file configuration loaded, then it will display a “No PMR Cfg”
or “No TMR Cfg” message.
•
Start-Up Software (characterised by “Alignment Mode” shown on the display). This is also the
code that is running when the radio is being aligned using the Alignment Tool.
•
Backup Software (via various paths from above.)
Wailing Siren (Boot-up Software Corrupted)
A “WAILING SIREN” sound is emitted from the Loudspeaker while the radio is running in Boot Backup
Software. In this mode the FPP can be used to re-load a Jobfile, or re-load Start-Up or Mainline Operating
Software.
Simply writing a Jobfile to the radio should allow the FPP to determine and update the offending software –
however there may be instances where the FPP cannot determine this and the Start-Up and Mainline
Software should be updated manually. This can be done using the FPP : Upgrade_Software : Get_File …
then Download. Both Start-Up Software (filename = 99s_xxx.bin) and Mainline PMR (99p_xxx.bin) or
Trunk (99txxxx.bin) should be loaded if the FPP cannot automatically fix the problem. The wailing siren
should stop once the problem is fixed.
Note:
1.6
Should these steps fail to restore the set and the Wailing Siren cease, the radio will need to be
returned to a Level 3 Service Centre for FLASH replacement.
ADJUSTMENT AND ALIGNMENT
There are no manual internal adjustments in the SRM9000. Re-programming and alignment is done using
software tools with the PCB installed in its chassis. For servicing, the radio PCB can be operated as a
stand alone unit provided a temporary heatsink is fitted under the transmitter PA module for transmitter

servicing and that the receiver audio output be kept below 100mW for receiver servicing. Radio
performance is not adversely affected by operating without the outer sleeve but there will be some change
to performance when the metal cans are removed from the RF sections of the board.
On re-assembly, the PA module should be checked for a thin layer of heat-conducting paste. If this is
missing or dried-out, it should be replaced prior to re-assembly.
1.7
CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
Important - Take Note!
1.7.1
Torque Settings
Assembly of 'Chassis' (Inner Extrusion) to 'Outer Extrusion' 1.4 Nm (PA x 2), 1.25Nm (Others x 3)
Assembly of 'Front' and 'Rear' end-caps to 'Outer Extrusion' 1.4 Nm.
1.7.2
Thermal Compound Application
For radios using a PA tray without full bottom surface with no cut-out, no thermal compound is necessary.
However, on later radios that have a tray containing a cut-out section in the bottom, just enough thermal
compound should be applied to provide good thermal contact with the chassis.
Note. If thermal compound is old and difficult to spread, it should be discarded.
1.7.3
Assembly
The Inner extrusion should initially be fitted to the PCB and the assembly then slid into place within the
chassis.
Then by holding the inner extrusion upwards by hand, it is then important to insert all screws by hand and
ensure they have been fully inserted through the PCB, thereby locating the assembly correctly.
Still holding the inner extrusion upwards to ensure the assembly does not twist, lightly torque up the centre
screw of the row of three followed by the PA module mounting screw towards the middle of the chassis.
The remaining screws can then be screwed up to full torque followed by re-torque of the first two screws
again.

3.1
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
RECEIVER
Refer to Figure 3-1.
3.1.1
Front End Filters and RF Amplifier
The receiver input signal from the antenna passes through the harmonic filter and antenna switch. With the
mobile in receive mode, diodes D580, D540a and D541a in the antenna switch are reverse biased allowing
the receiver input signal to be coupled through to the receiver front-end with minimal loss. The overall
insertion loss of the harmonic filter and switch is approximately 0.8dB.
A noise blanker is also fitted to E0 band radios. The noise blanker samples the received signal and gates
the 45MHz signal in the IF stage in the event that high level noise transients are received. Due to inherent
time delays in the bandpass filters prior to the blanking gate, gating synchronisation occurs before the
transients can adversely affect the following stages.
Varactor-tuned bandpass filters at the input and output of the RF amplifier provide receiver front-end
selectivity. Varactor tuning voltages are derived from the alignment data stored in the radio. The DSP
processes this data to optimise front end tuning relative to the programmed channel frequencies, which may
be changed at any time without re-aligning the radio.
To achieve the required varactor tuning range an arrangement of positive and negative bias power supplies
is used to provide a total bias across the varactors of up to 14.0VDC. A fixed 2.5V positive bias derived
from the 5.0V supply and voltage divider R425/R426 is applied to the cathodes of the varactor diodes. The
negative bias supply originates at the DSP/PLA as a PWM signal (FE TUNE) for the four front-end tuning
voltages TUNE1 to 4, for the particular channel frequency selected. The PWM signal is dependent on
channel frequency and tuning and passes through level shifting transistors Q404 to Q411 where it is
converted to a negative voltage in the range -0.5V to -11.5V. The -12.0V rail of the level translators is
generated by U904E/F with D903 to D906 providing the required voltage multiplication.
The RF amplifier stage comprises a low noise transistor amplifier Q400 that is compensated to maintain
good linearity and low noise matching. This provides excellent intermodulation and blocking performance
across the full operating range. The overall gain of the front-end is typically 14dB for all bands.
3.1.2
First Mixer and IF Section
The output of the last front-end bandpass filter is coupled into single balanced mixer T400/D413 which
converts the RF signal to an IF frequency of 45MHz. The local oscillator injection level is typically +8dBm at
T400 pin 1 with low side injection used for UHF bands and high side for VHF bands.
Following the mixer is IF amplifier Q401 that provides approximately 15dB of gain and in association with
its output circuitry, presents the required load conditions to the 4 pole 45MHz crystal filters Z401A/Z401B.
The crystal filters provide part the required selectivity for adjacent channel operation with the remaining
selectivity provided by a DSP bandpass filter algorithm.
3.1.3
Quadrature Demodulator
Additional IF gain of approximately 44dB occurs in U401, which is a dedicated IF AGC amplifier/Quadrature
Demodulator. The AGC voltage for U401 is derived from the RSSI function of the DSP. The onset of AGC
operation occurs when RF input signal level at the antenna connector exceeds -90dBm and can reduce the
gain by approximately 100dB for strong signals.
Conversion of the 45MHz IF signal to I and Q baseband signals is carried out by the demodulator section of
U401. The 90MHz local oscillator signal is generated by VCO Q402 which is phase locked by the auxiliary
PLL output of U701 via feedback signal AUX_LO2.

3.1.4
Receiver Audio Processing
The base band audio from the IQ Demodulator is applied to a differential amplifier that cancels out DC
offsets and converts the balanced demodulator I/Q output signals to unbalanced inputs for the CODEC
U800.
All receiver audio processing and filtering functions are performed by the CODEC under the control of the
DSP. The receiver I and Q analogue baseband signals are converted to digital signals by the CODEC ADC
before being applied to a series of digital filters which provide the final stage of adjacent channel filtering,
high pass and low pass filtering, mute noise processing and volume control for narrow and wideband
operation. The fully processed signal is then converted to an analogue audio signal by the CODEC DAC
and then applied to conventional audio amplifiers U803A/B and the speaker amplifier U805.
In addition, Discriminator Audio is derived from the other CODEC output channel and then amplified by
U802A after which it is applied to one of the radio I/O connectors for option purposes. Discriminator Audio is
a preset level set by the FPP and is independent of squelch operation.
There are two speaker options available. A half bridged configuration using a speaker across balanced
output SPKR OUT1 and 2, which provides an audio output level of up to 4 watts into 4 ohms. The other
option is a full bridge configuration using a high power speaker across SPKR OUT1 and 2 and providing an
audio output level of up to 10 watts into 8 ohms. The carrier and signalling mute functions are performed
by Q810/811/813 under DSP control. De-emphasis to the audio PA U805 is performed by R861 and
capacitors C866 to C871. Flat audio is provided to S1-6 via amplifier U803A.

TRANSMITTER
Refer to Figure 3-2.
3.2.1
Drivers and PA Stages
The RF output level from the VCO T/R switch D611a is typically +5dBm (UHF) and +8dBm (VHF). Tx
buffers Q606/Q612 increase this level to provide approximately 10dBm of drive power to the Tx driver
Q571. The Tx driver stage provides a maximum of 17dBm of drive to the PA module and provides part of
the power control function in conjunction with the first stage of the PA module. The buffer/driver circuits in
conjunction with their attenuator circuits also provide a high degree of VCO isolation from the Tx output.
The gains of PA driver Q571 and PA module are controlled by the power control loop to ensure that
transmitter output power remains within defined limits.
PA module U500 utilises three MOSFET stages (UHF) and two MOSFET stages (VHF) to achieve the
required maximum RF output power level of +44dBm (25 watts).
Note. Care should be taken during servicing since if for any reason the drive power is lost, while the power
control voltage is high, the current into the PA may exceed its specification. Therefore, the power supply
current should be monitored at all times and preset to as low as required. The radio has additional inbuilt
safeguards, but these should not be relied on.
Power output settings are derived from alignment data stored in flash memory during the initial factory
alignment. The DSP processes this data to optimise the power output level relative to the programmed
channel frequencies that may be changed at any time without retuning the radio.
PA current is monitored via comparator U520B, the output of which is passed via a temperature
compensation network R541 to R543 to ADC U301C. U301C samples the applied voltage after which it is
passed to the PLA and then processed by the DSP.
3.2.2
Power Control
Output power is stabilised by a power control feedback loop. A printed circuit transmission line, L580, R580,
D510 and associated components comprise the power detector. Comparator U520A and associated
components provide the power setting and control functions. Forward and reverse power is sampled by the
power detector and applied as a DC voltage to the inverting input of the comparator. The TX_PWR set
voltage is a DC voltage proportional to the programmed Tx power setting and is applied to the non-inverting
input of the comparator.
The TX_PWR voltage originates from the PLA as a PWM signal and is integrated for application to the
comparator.
PA module output level changes due to supply voltage, load or temperature variations are detected and
applied to the comparator that proportionally adjusts the PA module bias supply and the PA driver (Q571)
supply, and therefore the PA drive level. High temperature protection is provided by thermistor R552 that
progressively reduces the power level if the PA module temperature becomes excessive.
3.2.3
Antenna Changeover and Harmonic Filter
The antenna changeover circuit consisting of pin diodes D580/D540a/D541a, is switched by
Q541/Q542/Q543 and associated circuitry allowing the transmitter output to be coupled to the antenna while
providing isolation for the receiver input. With the transmitter switched on, the diodes are forward biased
allowing power to be coupled through to the antenna and isolating the receiver by grounding its input at
C588. The short circuit at the receiver input is transformed to an effective open circuit at D580 by L583,
which minimises transmitter loading. With the transmitter switched off the diodes are reverse biased
allowing the receiver input signal to reach the receiver front end with minimal loss. The harmonic rejection
low pass filter comprises L582/L584/L585 and associated capacitors.
3.2.4
Transmitter Audio Processing
The microphone audio input signal is applied to the microphone input (AUDIO_IN1) and is derived from an
external microphone unit with an applied nominal level of 40mV RMS. U801A is a control gate that switches
between AUDIO_IN1 and OPTION_AUDIO1 to provide external audio options and data input.

FREQUENCY SYNTHESISER
General
Refer to Figure 3-3.
© TMC Radio 2006
page 26
TNM-U-E-0002 Issue 1
SRM9000 SERIES SERVICE MANUAL
The frequency synthesiser consists of one transmitter and two receiver voltage controlled oscillators, loop
filters, varactor negative bias generator, reference oscillator and an integrated dual phase locked loop
device U701.
3.3.2
PLL
The PLL device contains two prescalers, programmable dividers and phase comparators to provide a main
and auxiliary PLL. The main PLL of U701 controls the frequency of the Tx/Rx VCOs via Control Voltage
outputs at pins 2 and 3 and VCO feedback to pin 6. The auxiliary PLL is used to control the receiver 90MHz
second local oscillator via the Control Voltage output at pin 17 and VCO feedback to pin 15. The PLL
operation involves the division of the 14.4MHz reference oscillator frequency to 225kHz (VHF) or 450kHz
(UHF) by divider U710. It is then divided by the internal divider of U701 down to a low frequency that
corresponds to a sub-multiple of the radio channel spacing, ie. 6.25kHz for 12.5/25kHz channel spacing,
5kHz for 10/20kHz channel spacing or 7.5kHz if required. The VCO frequency is sampled and divided down
to the same frequency after which it is phase compared to the reference. Any error produces an offset to the
Control Voltage output that is used to correct the VCO frequency. A valid lock detect output is derived from
pin 20 and is sampled by the PLA. During transmit, if an unlocked signal is detected the radio will switch
back to receive mode. An unlocked signal in receive mode will cause the radio to beep.
3.3.3
VCO’s
The transmitter and receiver VCO’s use low noise JFET transistors Q600 (Rx), Q602 (Tx) and associated
parts to generate the signals for the required band coverage. Electronic tuning is provided by varactor
diodes D600 to D608 with their control voltages derived from the Loop Filter, PLL and Negative Bias
Generator. VCO selection and timing is controlled by the DSP/PLA via the Rx and Tx power supplies and
applied through switches Q601 (Rx) and Q603 (Tx). VCO buffer Q604/Q605 isolates the VCO from load
variations in following circuits and active power supply filter Q615 minimises supply related noise. A PLL
feedback signal is sampled from the VCO buffer output via buffer Q607.
The 90MHz receiver VCO comprises Q402 and associated parts. Automatic tuning is achieved by applying
a control voltage to D414/D415 via Loop Filter R445, R446, R701, C486, C701 and C702.
3.3.4
Negative Bias Generator and Loop Filter
A positive and negative varactor bias supply similar to the front-end varactor arrangement has been used to
achieve the required broadband tuning range of the VCO’s. PLL device U701 is programmed to deliver a
nominal +2.5V output from phase detector/charge pump CPPF or CPP regardless of the channel frequency
selected. This voltage is filtered to remove synthesiser noise and reference products by the Loop Filter
comprising C671 to C681 and R653/R654/R655. The resulting low noise voltage is applied to the cathode
side of the VCO varactor tuning diodes as a positive bias voltage. The negative bias supply originates as a
positive DC voltage (0.1V to 3.0V) at the DAC output of U701 (DOUT) with a level relative to the
programmed state of the radio (eg. channel frequency and Tx/Rx state). The voltage is translated to a
negative voltage between 0V and –16V by the circuit comprising Q700 to Q703. The -16V rail of this supply
is generated by U904E/F with D903 to D906 providing the voltage multiplying effect needed to achieve 16V. The output of the negative supply is applied directly to the VCO varactor anodes as the negative
tuning voltage VCAP BIAS.
3.3.5
Phase Modulator
The modulation path for audio, data and higher frequency CTCSS signals is via varactor D609 and its
associated components in the Tx VCO. The reference input to the PLL (REF) provides the low frequency
modulation path via the Phase Modulator.
The phase modulator comprises the following sections:
- Integrator U711A is a low pass filter providing 6dB per octave attenuation to frequencies above
approximately 10Hz.
- Divider U710 divides the 14.4MHz reference frequency down to 225kHz (VHF) or 450kHz (UHF).
- Ramp generator Q711/Q712 provides a saw tooth output, the slope of which is adjustable
via the MOD_BAL line. This adjustment is set via a DAC output controlled from the Alignment
Tool. Adjustment of the ramp slope effectively changes the Phase Modulator gain by
modification of the Schmitt Trigger switching points after modulation from the Integrator is
combined to the saw tooth ramp.
© TMC Radio 2006
page 27
TNM-U-E-0002 Issue 1
SRM9000 SERIES SERVICE MANUAL
The divided reference signal is differentiated and discharges C744 via Q711 after which Q711 is turned
off allowing C744 to recharge via constant current source Q712/Q713.
Schmitt Trigger comprising Q714 to Q716 converts the modulation combined with the saw tooth ramp
to a square wave output, the duty cycle of which is controlled by the ramp slope and modulation.
Modulation balance adjustment is carried out using a CODEC generated 100Hz square wave applied to
the TX_MOD input and set to give an optimum demodulated square wave output.
3.3.6
Reference Oscillator
TCXO U700 determines the overall frequency stability and frequency setting of the radio. The frequency
setting is achieved by adjusting its ADJ voltage with the Alignment Tool. In addition, the ADJ input is used in a
frequency control loop with the receiver I and Q signals to provide receiver AFC. U700 operates at 14.4MHz
and is specified at ±2.0ppm frequency stability over the temperature range -30° to +75°C.

DSP Clock Oscillator
The DSP is clocked by a 15.360MHz oscillator that consists of crystal X200 and an internal DSP oscillator.
Q200 forms a crystal switching circuit with C205 which, when activated by a command from the PLA, steers
the oscillator away from potential interfering frequencies.
3.4.3
PLA PWM
The PLA must supply several analogue signals to control radio tuning. It does this with several Pulse Width
Modulated (PWM) outputs.
The front-end tune signals (TUNE1-TUNE4) originate from the PLA in the form of PWM signals. The
values for these signals are stored in flash memory from radio alignment and selected depending on the
channel that the radio is currently tuned to. These signals are integrated by RC networks to provide the
analogue tuning voltages that are then applied to the tuning varicap diodes.
Other analogue PWM derived signals used are transmitter power (TX_PWR), receiver AGC voltage (AGC),
LED’s (RED/GREEN) and modulation balance (MOD_BAL).
Analogue inputs are monitored by four comparators comprising U301A-D and a ramp generator, the ramp
being derived from a PWM signal from the PLA.
Analogue voltages to be monitored such as PLL Loop Voltage (LOOP_VOLTS), key detect (KEY_DET),
battery voltage (BAT SENSE), transmitter current (TX_CURRENT), volume level (VOLUME) and external
sense (EXT_SENSE) are connected to the inverting inputs. The analogue voltages are compared with the
ramp voltage as they increase and the comparator switches at the point where the input voltage exceeds
the ramp. The PLA compares the time that this occurs with the PWM signal and converts it to a binary
value.
3.5
MEMORY
Memory consists of the internal DSP memory and an external 8MB non-volatile Flash Memory U202. When
power is off, all program SW and data are retained in Flash Memory. At power-on, a boot program
downloads the DSP and PLA SW from Flash Memory to their internal RAM’s for faster program execution
and access to data. PLA SW is loaded by the factory into the Flash Memory and can be updated via the

POWER SUPPLIES
Power On Function
3.6.1
The unregulated 13.8V DC input (13V8_UNSW_F) is routed directly to all high current devices and is then
switched via FET Q900 to provide BAT_SW supply for all other circuits. The output from Q900 feeds three
low dropout series regulators and switched battery voltage These regulated supplies power auxiliary
supplies as well as the negative voltage generator. The radio ON/OFF function is achieved through Q902,
Q908 and Q909. A low voltage pulse from the control unit or microphone handset PWR ON or PWR OFF
momentarily turns on Q900/Q908 for approximately 1 sec. In this time, the radio DSP samples the
PWR_SENSE line and determines the state of the on-off switch. If the on-off switch is on, the DSP raises
the PWR_OFF line and latches the main FET on, which then maintains power to the radio circuitry.
The Power-off operation requires the On-Off switch to be turned off for more than 2 seconds. If the On-Off
switch is sensed going low by the DSP via the PWR_SENSE line, the DSP will save radio settings and then
lower the PWR_OFF line, thereby turning Q900 off.

ALIGNMENT (LEVEL 3 SERVICE ONLY)
This procedure is applicable to all versions of SRM9000 mobile transceivers.
Caution
Preparing the radio for alignment will erase from the radio all customer PMR and Trunking
configuration data (channel, signalling information etc). The only data retained by the
Alignment Tool is the factory alignment data for the radio (DAC settings for Tx power, front-end
tuning, etc).
Using the Alignment Tool will allow changes to the original factory alignment and will invalidate
all warranties and guarantees unless performed by an authorised level 3 service centre.
If the radio contains customer configuration data that must be retained, you must first use the SRM/SRP
Personality Programmer (FPP) software to read all radio configuration files and save them on to alternative
media before commencing the alignment procedure.
When the Alignment is completed, use the FPP software to retrieve this stored data and write it back to the
radio.
It is preferred that the radio remain installed in its aluminium extruded case throughout this alignment
procedure. If the radio is to be aligned when removed from the case, a temporary heat sink must be fitted
under the Transmitter PA module and the receiver output must be kept below 100mW.
Note. Final Tx power adjustments must be performed with the radio board installed in the chassis.

Feature whereby the transmit power is automatically set to a level determined by
the level of the received signal. This is used to extend the battery life and/or
reduce radiated emissions.
Automatic Volume
Feature whereby the background audio level is monitored and if this is found to be
noisy then the volume level is increased to compensate, allowing the user to hear
better.
Background Hunting
The searching for an alternative and 'better' control channel whilst already on a
valid control channel.
BCAST
MPT1327 broadcast message. Used to transmit information about the trunked
radio system to radio units.
Busy
The state of a channel such that:
•
For a non-signalling channel - if Busy this means that the carrier is above squelch.
•
For a channel with CTCSS/DCS - if Busy this means a signal is being received
with either no CTCSS tone / DCS code or the correct CTCSS tone /DCS code.
•
For a channel with Selcall - if Busy this means a closed channel where the signal
is above squelch.
A feature that equates to 'Do Not Disturb' such that the radio will reject all nonemergency calls. This feature can be activated using the Busy key (if assigned) or
from a menu; it is reset to disabled at switch on.

Call Back
A request, sent by the dispatcher, to a unit requesting that the unit calls the
dispatcher back.
CCSC
Control Channel System Codeword.
Channel Spacing
The distance (in Hz) between the defined frequency channels.
CHEKKER
System Interface Specification for Trunked Networks in Germany.
CLIM
Call Limit Time; time limit on calls made. Normally this is defined by the Call Time
Limit parameter but can by overridden by the TSC depending upon the setting of
TSCLIM.
CLIME
Emergency Call Limit Timer.
Clipboard
A temporary storage area in Windows used to store data in cut, copy and paste
operations.
Closed
A state where transmit and receive are not allowed until a Selcall message to
open the channel has been received. A Closed Channel is one which defaults
(when selected or after timed reset) to its closed state. Contrast with Open.
Normally a Closed channel would have Selcall Mute and PTT Inhibit would be
enabled.
CODEC
COde (Analogue to Digital Converter) / DECode (Digital to Analogue Converter).
Community Repeater
A communications set-up whereby different groups of radios can operate by using
only one base station. This is achieved by the use of CTCSS tone signalling such
that each group has a different CTCSS tone (encode and decode) and radios can
only communicate with other radios in their group. Only one group of radios can
use the base station at any one time.
Continuous
A continuous control channel is one that is only used by one site. There are no
breaks in the transmission of signalling. Emergency Call Time Limit
Control Channel
A channel used for the transmission of messages that enables the TSC to control
radios. Control channels may either Continuous or Timed Shared.
Control Channel Burst A feature that enables control channel burst transmissions on systems using timeshared control channels. It is unavailable if the control channel acquisition type is
not 'Time Shared'. To make available: go to Control Channel Acquisition Type and
set to Time-shared.
CRU
Central Repair Unit
CTCSS
CTCSS stands for Continuous Tone Controlled Signalling System. A continuous
tone (lower than the audio range of the receiver) is modulated onto the carrier as
well as other signalling or voice traffic. Compare with DCS. Only receivers that
have been instructed to recognise the same CTCSS tone are able to receive the
transmissions, since the squelch of receivers looking for different CTCSS tones
prevents the audio from being heard. This provides a simple method of sending
messages to selected receivers only and allows several different networks to use
the same frequencies. CTCSS is also known as Tone Lock or Tone Squelch.
DAC
Digital to Analogue Converter.
Dash (-) digits
Digits known as 'No Tone' digits used in Selcall Identities.
DCS
Digital Coded Squelch system is based on sending a continuous stream of binary
code words using, low deviation, direct frequency shift keying. Only receivers
which have been instructed to recognise the same DCS sequence are able to
open their squelch and receive the associated speech transmissions. This

provides a simple method of sending messages to selected receivers only and
allows several different networks to use the same frequencies.
Decode
Reception of signalling. Either Selcall where encoded tone frequencies are
decoded and identified as specific tones digits or CTCSS/DCS where tones are
analysed to see if the channel should be opened.
Demanded
Demanded Registration; a procedure in which the TSC forces a single radio unit to
attempt registration immediately (providing the radio is not already attempting to
register).

signal above squelch. Typically applications are checking an emergency channel
whilst on another channel.
Dynamic User Groups These groups use a temporary user Ident to group a number of units together who
would not normally make up a group. These groups are formed by the TSC
(contrast with User Defined Groups) sending a special message to units instructing
them to add a new group Ident to their list of groups. Up to 8 groups can be
defined. These temporary groups are lost at switch off unless 'Save Groups at
Switch Off' is enabled.
Economiser
A process by which the Receiver is powered down whilst there is no received
signal. Periodically the receiver is powered up to check for such a signal. This is
used to extend the battery life.
Enabled
The 'True' state of a parameter. That indicates this parameter is active. Typically
this state is represented by a mark (either a tick or a cross) in a check box.
Compare with Disabled.
Encode
Transmission of signalling. Either Selcall where Selcall tone digits are encoded
into tone frequencies or CTCSS/DCS where tones modulated onto the channel's
carrier.
ETS
European Technical Standard.
External Alert
A facility for switching on various ancillary devices to meet customer's individual
requirements (e.g. car horn, flashing lamp etc.) when 'called'.

Hash (#) digits
These digits are used for two purposes:
• For Selcall identities (encode and decode) - known as User Id digits. These digits
are replaced by the user id entered at switch on (if enabled)
• Use in DTMF dialled strings - their use is network dependent to access special
services.

See Valid Selcall Digits.
Idle State
The state of the radio when it is not in a call.
Inaccessible
A state of a channel such that it is unavailable to the user through normal methods
of channel selection. Therefore inaccessible channels will not appear on the
channel menu.
Include Calls
these types of calls are used to allow a 3rd party to join into an existing call.
Link Establishment
Time
A delay incorporated into the start of every selective call or DTMF transmission
which allows for the finite delay of the radio equipment in responding to any radio
signal. This includes both the commencement time of the originating transmitter
and the response time of the receiver.
Locked
A state of a channel whereby it is not possible to change channels using the
normal up/down keys on the channel menu until the OK key is pressed. See Auto
Channel Selection Lock.
MEP
Miniaturisation Extent Parameter. Used in systems that use ANN numbering.
Modifier
Part of a dialled string that modifies the nature of the call made to a number (e.g.
dialling "*9" before the number that is to be dialled will modify the call to be an
emergency call).
MPT1327
A signalling standard for Trunked Private Land Mobile Radio Systems. Defined for
systems in the UK but also used outside the UK. Issued January 1988.
MPT1343
A System Interface Specification for commercial Trunking networks. Defined for
systems in the UK but also used outside the UK. Issued January 1988.
Noise Blanker
A circuit designed to reduce automotive ignition interference.
NDD
Network Dependent Data. This is a field within the CCSC codeword that is used by
the trunking system to identify information about the trunking network and, in
particular, information specific to the site that is radiating the control channel. It is
used by the radio when it is acquiring a control channel to identify valid channels.
Null Id
A Selcall identity that is not defined and whose tones' field is displayed as a blank.

Password
An optional password system available on the radio. This feature is only available
if the radio does has a display and a keypad. To make available: go to Hardware
Components, Terminal Settings and set Product Type to one which has a display
and a keypad.
PFIX
The 7 most significant bits of an MPT1327 address number. Normally same fleet
units have same prefix. Relates to individual and group address numbers.
PLL
Phased Locked Loop.
PMR
Private Mobile Radio (not normally trunked).
Priority Channel
A channel in a search group that is scanned between every other channel.

commence transmitting a message.
PTT Inhibit
A state whereby transmission using the PTT is not allowed. Also know as Tx
Lockout.
PWM
Pulse Width Modulation.
Queuing
The storing of an Selcall Identity for later transmission.
If inhibited from transmitting a selcall sequence because the channel is busy then
the radio can queue the Send 1 / Send 2 sequence for later transmission. When a
radio unit is in Queuing mode all incoming calls are stored automatically in a
queue for later examination. The caller is given an indication that the call has
been queued by the called party. The queue will contain the identity of the caller
and the status value received (if a status call). Up to 20 calls may be queued. The
Queuing mode may be selected using the Modes Menu.
Note: Connecting a MAP27 device to a radio that is in queuing mode will disable
queuing. All incoming calls will then be routed both to the radio user interface and
to the MAP27 device connected to the radio. Also known as Logging Mode
Reference Frequency
Normally this is generated from a high stability crystal oscillator reference and is
divided digitally in a frequency synthesiser for comparison with other frequency
sources, e.g. a VCO.
Registration
Registration is a technique used to ensure that the trunking system knows the
location of radio units that are using the system. This allows the system to setup
calls quickly without having to search the whole system for the called radio.
Repeat Tone
A selcall tone that is used to replace repeated tones. Fixed at tone E.
Example: An identity entered as '12333' would be sent by the radio as '123E3'.
Reset
Resetting is caused by Three Tone Reset, a Remote Reset, an Individual reset or
a Group reset (Call Types in Decode Identity). When a radio is reset the effect on
the radio will be as follows:
• Any Call Alerts will be stopped
• The Call LED flashing will stop
• If the channel is in Open mode then the channel is closed
• The PTT is optionally inhibited see PTT Inhibit After Reset Sequence.
• In searching - if paused on a selcall channel then searching resumes

SRM9000 SERIES SERVICE MANUAL
• If the Acknowledge property of a Decode Identity is set to 'Auto Interrogate' or
'Transpond & Auto Interrogate' then the Auto Interrogate encode identity is
transmitted.
Roaming
This is a process that allows changing between regional trunking systems which
have different Operator Identities (OPID 's). Not allowed on MPT1343 Systems.
RSSI
Received Signal Strength Indicator.
Scanning
Process of switching between the channels in the nominated search group in
cyclic sequence, stopping when the search condition (which may be to look for
either a free or a busy channel) is satisfied.
SDM
Short Data Message.
Search Group
A group of channels that are either scanned for a signal above the search
threshold or are compared and voted for the strongest signal
Selcall
Selective Calling - a system of signalling which allows 'dialling up' of specific
mobiles, portables and controllers. Such a system may be used to pass messages
as a data message to a specific user or group of users. It can be used to provide
remote switching facilities and to provide access control into community repeaters
or similar devices.
Selcall Mute
A state of the audio gate whereby the loudspeaker is muted (closed).
Selcall System
Selective Calling, uses a tone sequence at the start, and end, of a call to control
which members of a fleet react to the transmission.
SFM
Short Form Memory.
Sidetone
Sidetone is the audio which can be (optionally) heard when Selcall, DTMF and
toneburst transmissions are made.
Simplex
Mode of operation whereby the radio operates as a conventional fixed channel
radio outside the Trunking network.
Squelch
System used to prevent weak, unintelligible signals and random noise from being
heard by a radio operator while still allowing intelligible signals to be received
normally. This is accomplished by the use of a threshold below which any
received signals are ignored. Only signals whose signal-to-noise ratio is above the
squelch level cause the audio circuits of the radio to be enabled, with the result
that only satisfactory signals are received. The squelch level is specified in
SINAD.
Star (*) digits
Digits known as Status or Message digits. These digits are used for three
purposes:
• Status Digits for Selcall Identities
• Wildcard digits in Status strings
• Use in DTMF dialled strings - their use is network dependent to access special
services.
Status
A feature whereby a radio's status (or usually the status of the radio's user) can be
transmitted and a status message from other radios can be displayed. This
operates through status digits in Selcall identities. Either in Encode Identities or
Decode Identities as follows:
Encode Identities: Status digits within the identity are used to transmit the current
situation of the radio's user (e.g. "Out To Lunch").
Decode Identities: Status digits are looked up in a table (Status Menu) for possible
messages to display.

SW
Software.
SYS
System Identity Code part of the CCSC.
TCXO
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator.
Temporary
Temporary Registration; a process carried out by the Dispatcher due to some
system failure that prevents it from carrying out normal registration. The radios will
recognise this temporary registration mode but will otherwise use the network in
the same way as if they were registered. They may be required to re-register when
normal registration mode is resumed.
Three Tone Reset
This is a system whereby a call to a user automatically reset all other users in a
group.
Example: a call to user '12345' would call 12345 and reset all other users on this
channel with an identity 123nn where n can be any digit 0-9, A-F.
Timed Reset
Facility that causes the Radio, after a certain period of time, to restore current
channel to it's initial condition e.g. if it was previously searching it will resume
searching.
Time Shared
A time-shared control channel is one that is used by more than one site. This
allows a wide coverage area to be obtained using only one frequency.
The forward channel from the TSC to the radio is divided into timeslots. Each site
using the channel is allocated one timeslot in which to transmit and send
signalling.
Therefore, when on a timeshared channel. the radio may be able to receive bursts
of signalling from different sites at different signal strengths and may receive
periods when no signalling is received.
Depending on the type of system, the radio may be able to perform transactions
with any site it can receive from or only with a specific site.
TMR
Trunked Mobile Radio.
Tone Burst
An audio tone is transmitted at the start of transmission to inform a relay
(repeater) station to switch itself on to relay the transmission.

channel is Busy.
UMP
User Memory Plug. A special device that contains the customisation data for the
radio. If this is removed then this can cause the radio to behave in a number of
ways.
User Defined Groups
These groups are set up by the user (contrast with Dynamic User Groups) when
the user desires to be included, temporarily, in an existing group. Up to 8 groups
may be defined (in addition to the Network group Idents defined by Network Group
Numbers). This feature is only available if User Defined Groups parameter is
enabled. These temporary groups are lost at switch off unless 'Save Groups at
Switch Off' is enabled.
