REMINDER: It is Illegal to transmit out of Frequency with out MARS/CAP PERMIT
 

The DJ-195 does not require a serviceperson to manipulate the components on the prined-circuit board, except the ttimmer when adjusting reference frequency and deviation. Most of the ajuustments for the transceiver are made by using thekeys on it while the unit is in the adjustment mode. Because the adjustment mode temporarily uses the channels, frequency must be set on each channe before adjustments can be made.
For instrucitons on how to program the channels, see the "DJ-195 INSTRUCTION MANUAL" which came with the product. ln consideration of the radio environment, the frequency on each channel must be near the value (+/-1 MHz) listed in the table below. To enter the adjustment mode. set key lock and input 490217, Decimal point at 700MHz and 10MHz appears ln LCD. (To release the mode; set key-lock and input 490217.)

3. Press the F Key. The transceiver beeps indicating the new setting has been stored successfully.

S-meter (Full)

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 8 by rotating the main tuning dial.
   The S-meter will show all six circles
2. Enter "+20" dBu (EMF) with the transceiver tester (SSG)
3. Press the F key. The transceiver beeps indicating the new setting has been stored successfully.

Deviation

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 9 by rotating the main tuning dial.
2. Input a 50mVrms, 1Khz signal with your transceiver tester though the external microphone jack.
3. With the tester, put the transceiver in the trabsmission mode.
4. Rotate the VR1 on the printed-curcuit board of the transceiver until the deviation is set to 4.5 KHz.

DTMF (1) Test

This function is only for checking the DTMF code, not adjusting it.
 

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 10 by rotating the main tuning dial.
2. Press the PTT key. DTMF code "1" is automatically sent and you will hear the monitoring tone from the speaker.
3. Check the deviation with the transceiver tester.

DTMF (D) Test

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 11 by rotating the main tuning dial.
2. Press the PTT key. DTMF code "D" is automatically sent and you will hear the monitoring tone from the speaker.
3. Check the deviation with the transceiver tester.

Tone 67Hz Test

This function is only for checking the tone encoder, not adjusting it.
 

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 12 by rotating the main tuning dial.
2. Press the PTT key. A 67Hz tone is automatically sent.
3. Check the deviation with the transceiver tester.

Tone 88.5Hz Test

3. Check the deviation with the transceiver tester.

Aging

Perform this aging test only when necessary.
 

1. In the adjustment mode, select channel 17 by rotating the main tuning dial.
   The transceiver automatically repeaters transmission for a minute and reception for another minute.

Note on Adjusting Sensitivity

Sensitivity is adjusted by applying the optimum viltage from the CPU to the varicap of the tuning circuit.
 

1. Program any frequency within 145 MHZ +/- 1 MHz on memory channel 5.
2. To enter the adjustment mode, set key lock and input 490217. Decimal point at 100MHz and 10MHz appears in LCD. (To release the mode, set key lock and input 490217).
3. Select channel 5 by rotating the main tuning dial.
4. Press the F key and, while the F appears, rotate the main tuning dial.
   Set the adjustment data to "**" for maximizing the sensitivity ("**" appears in the channel number area on the LCD).
5. Press the F key.
6. In the key lock mode, input 490217. Decimal point at 100MHz and 10MHz disappear.
   Turn the power OFF. The transceiver is in the normal status.

Here's how to modify the DJ-195 Alkaline AA battery pack to accept Ni-CD/Ni-MH batteries and charge them using the built in charging circuit and an ac adapter/13.8v input.

Simply remove the cover from the battery pack (remove the 2 screws) and locate the diode underneath the battery terminal on the bottom on the battery pack. Desolder the diode and solder the wire directly to the battery terminal instead.

Now you have a fully functional rechargeable battery pack without having to buy Alinco's special Ni-Cd pack.
