Section III. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

1-14. GENERAL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

a. This section provides a functional description of the R/T. The functional description is based on the level of
maintenance authorized by the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC), Appendix B. Figure 1-2 is a functional
block diagram of the radio set described in the following paragraphs.

b. The radio set provides for operator selection of up to 14 independent preset channels in the 136-to 160-MHz
band. A microprocessor and a nonvolatile programmable memory are used to provide the independent
preset channels capability. The radio set is also equipped with CODE GUARD Tl circuitry that allows one
radio or a group of radios to be selectively called within a system. CODE GUARD TM is a feature used in
commercial versions of the radio set. The CODE GUARD T" function is present in the R/T produced for the
Army. Because CODE GUARD TM is not considered an operational requirement, it is not covered by
warranty. The programming instructions in this manual disable the CODE GUARDTM feature so that it will
not interfere with normal operation.

Figure 1-2. Functional Block Diagram

c. When the radio set is turned on, the unit is in the receive mode. Radio frequency (RF) signals entering the
antenna are converted from RF to intermediate frequency (IF), amplified, and demodulated to audio
frequency (AF). The AF output is filtered and amplified and routed to either the internal or external
speaker/microphone.

1-4
 TM 11-5820-1048-24&P

d. The radio set is placed in the transmit mode when the push-to-talk control on the R/T is pressed.
The internal or external speaker/microphone is used to apply a voice signal to the transmitter.
The AF signal is amplified and used to frequency modulate an RF signal. The modulated RF
signal is then further amplified to provide an RF output signal (2 watts, nominal) to the antenna for
radiation.

e. The transmitter is equipped with a timeout timer to limit the duration of calls and to guard against
locking in the transmit mode and tying up the radio net. The timeout timer inhibits the transmitter
after the selected time has elapsed. Timeout time is selected (0 to 225 seconds) using the
keyboard. Setting the timeout time to 0 second disables the timer so that the user may talk as long
as he wishes. Use of the timeout timer is not considered an operational requirement and is not
covered by warranty, except that when it is disabled in accordance with the instructions contained
in this manual, it must not interfere with the normal operation of the radio set.

f. R/T power 10 Vdc is provided by the battery pack. Both a rechargeable nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd)
battery pack and a nonrechargeable alkaline battery pack are provided.

NOTE

Group 1 and Group 2 each contain five firmware functions which

can be individually enabled or disabled. Some of these functions
pertain to options not purchased by the Army. Some will operate
in the AN/PRC-127 hardware. Others will not. Some of the
nonoperative settings will cause potentially confusing display
indications if they are not set in accordance with the instructions
that follow. While incorrect settings will not damage the
equipment, performance is only warranted while programming
variables are set to their normal values or settings.

A flashing digit indicates that the function is enabled. A steady

digit indicates that the function is disabled. To change the setting
of any digit, press the corresponding number key on the keypad.

NOTE

The steps that follow pertain to setting Group I Functions.

PROG

setting of this function is steady (not flashing). This indicates that the battery saver is
operating.

2-18
 TM 11-5820-1048-24&P

• Functions 2 and 3
These functions pertain to PRIORITY SCAN feature which does not operate in the AN/PRC-
127. Improper settings of these functions can cause confusing display readings. Under
certain conditions, improper settings can cause a PR indicator to show on the display along
with the channel number while the R/T is in the operating mode. Improper settings will not
keep the radio set from operating. Normal setting is with 2 and 3 steady.

• Function 4 (PRI) Key Lockout

This function is part of the PRIORITY SCAN feature which does not operate in the AN/PRC-
127. Improper setting of this function can cause confusing indications. Improper setting of
function 4 will not keep the radio set from operating. The R/T may beep sometimes when
the PRI key is pressed while in the operating mode. When coupled with improper settings of
functions 2 and 3, it can cause a PR indicator to show on the display. Normal setting of
function 4 is flashing.

• Function 5 (ENT) (CLR) Key Lockout

This function is associated with the SCAN feature which does not operate in the AN/PRC-
127. Improper setting of this function can cause confusing indications. Improper setting of
function 5 will not keep the radio set from operating. A SCAN indicator may show on the
display along with the channel number when the R/T is in the operating mode. If SCAN
indicators do show on the display, they can only be removed in the operating mode (not the
programming mode). Normal setting of function 5
is flashing.

• User Code Guard TM Selection This function is a part of the overall CODE GUARDTM
feature. It allows the radio to operate on one channel while using the CODE GUARD TM
values programmed for another channel. Which other channel may be selected from the
keypad while the R/T is in the operating mode. It does operate in the AN/PRC-127.
However, it is not considered part of normal use, and is not covered by warranty.
Disabling this feature does not completely disable CODE GUARD TM. It only disables
the cross matching feature described above. If this feature is set incorrectly at the same
time other programming variables are set incorrectly, it can cause the radio to not
communicate. It can also cause confusing indications on the display while the R/T is in
the operating mode. Normal setting for function 1 is steady.

• Setting Functions 2-5

Functions 2-5 pertain to firmware features that do not operate in the AN/PRC-127.
Enabling or disabling these functions will not affect operation. These functions will not
produce any confusing or extraneous indications. Normal setting for functions 2-5 is
steady.

(6) Blind Programming

NOTE

Certain programming errors can cause the radio set display and
audio output to blank completely. One such error is the
programming of a channel with an invalid receive frequency. If the
radio is turned on with the channel select control set to that
channel, the display will blank and there will be no audio output. If
there is a valid transmit frequency programmed for that channel,
the radio will still transmit but give no indication that it is doing so.
(Lack of a valid transmit frequency will cause the radio to emit a
warning tone when the push-to-talk switch is keyed.) If the display
is blank when the radio is first turned on, first try switching to a
different channel. If this produces a display, then you can enter the
programming mode in the normal manner and correct any errors. If
changing channels will not produce a display (no channels have a
valid receive frequency), the following procedure is used to restore
the radio to the normal operating mode.
