1. Introduction
The Freedom Communication Technologies R8000 Series Communications System
Analyzer AutoTune™ (hereafter “AutoTune”) provides an automated test and alignment
solution for supported two-way radios.
2. Scope
This document includes information regarding the tests and alignments performed for
supported radios by AutoTune. This document is restricted to radio-specific information
for Harris XL-200 Portable series radios.
Please refer to the R8000 Series Communications System Analyzer Owner’s Manual
(FCT-1365) for an overview and basic operating instructions for AutoTune itself.
3. Conventions
3.1. PPM
“ppm” is “parts per million”. This specification is generally limited to frequency-related
measurements. If the frequency units are in MHz, then the ppm specification is in Hz.
For example, a 169.075 MHz frequency with a ±1.5 ppm specification is allowed to vary
by 1.5 * 169.075 MHz, or about ±254 Hz.
4. Important Notes
4.1. Required firmware
Harris XL-200P series radios must be running XLP R02D01 firmware or later for
AutoTune to successfully run. XLP R03C09 firmware or later is required for AutoTune to
successfully run the RSSI align.
4.2. Conventional channel selection
The radio must have a conventional channel selected before AutoTune servicing
begins. A trunked channel if selected is known to cause radio communication
initialization failures.
4.3. Supported models
The following Harris XL-200 series models are supported by AutoTune:
•XL-200P

5. Harris XL-200 Portable Radio Test Setup
In order to perform the test and alignment procedures, the XL-200 Portable radio must
be connected to the R8000 Communications System Analyzer as shown in the figure
below.
Make certain that the radio under test is configured as described in the
corresponding diagram before attempting to perform the indicated alignment
or test. Failure to do so may result in poor radio performance and/or damage
to the analyzer or radio equipment under test.
5.1. XL-200 Portable Test Setup
Refer to the diagrams below for proper test setup.

6. Harris XL-200 Portable Alignment and Test Descriptions
Note: Throughout this section are references to Test Frequency that are band and
mode specific. A table of the frequencies used by each band may be found in the
respective radio service manual.
6.1. Synthesizer Performance Test
The Synthesizer Performance test checks the lock range of the synthesizer circuits.
6.1.1. Test
The radio is set to the first Rx test frequency at the lower end of the first Rx RF Band.
The user will be asked to check the radio display for an alarm message. If no alarm
message is display, the synthesizer circuit is locked. All ends of the Rx RF Bands are
tested. Next, the radio is set to the first Tx test frequency at the lower end of the first Tx
RF Band. The radio is keyed for 2 seconds. The user will be asked to check the radio
display for an alarm message. If no alarm message is display, the synthesizer circuit is
locked. All ends of the Tx RF Bands are tested.

The radio is placed into Test Mode at the first Rx Test Frequency, and the analyzer is
set to generate as listed in Table 6-2. The radio is queried to tune the TCXO softpot and
returns the new softpot value. The new softpot radio is written to the radio. After
programming the new softpot value, the radio is set to the first Tx Test Frequency and
commanded to transmit. The analyzer is set to measure as listed in Table 6-2. The
frequency error is measured by the analyzer and compared to the test limits. The final
results are written to the log file.

The radio is placed into Test Mode at the first Rx Test Frequency, and the analyzer is
set to generate as listed in Table 6-5. The radio RSSI level is checked without a carrier
signal for interference. If interference is detected, the radio Rx frequency and the
analyzer frequency are changed by 75kHz until there is no interference. The analyzer
RF signal is turned on. The RSSI level is measured by the radio at the RSSI softpot
limits. These RSSI measurements are used to calculate the softpot value which
matches the RSSI level to the output level of the analyzer, and the calculated softpot is
saved to the radio. The RSSI level is measured by the radio and compared to the test
limits. This process is repeated for each Test Frequency. The final results are written to
the log file.

Basic Troubleshooting
Symptom
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Analyzer consistently fails
to communicate with radio
•Radio on a
trunking channel
•Change radio channel to a
conventional channel.
Trunking channel mode can
prevent AutoTune from
placing radio into test mode.
Analyzer consistently fails
to communicate with radio
and radio display softkeys
are blank.
•Current mission
plan corrupted
while setting
mission plan to
test mode.
•Boot radio into “Wifi
programming mode” by
pressing the PTT and Bottom
Side Button and powering up
the radio. Wait 5 seconds.
Connect the radio to RPM and
re-flash or overwrite the radio
personality.
Analyzer occasionally fails
to communicate with radio
•USB hub in use
•USB hubs are known to
occasionally prevent or drop
radio communication. Connect
the radio programming cable
directly to an analyzer USB
port.
Tx Power test power
output levels are lower
than expected.
•Cable Sweep not
enabled
•Enable Settings > System
Settings… > Cable Sweep >
Cable Sweep. Change cable
attenuation values to
correspond with the RF cable
in use. For example, if 0.5 dB
of loss expected at 100 MHz
and 1.5 dB of loss is expected
at 1 GHz, enter “-0.5 dB” as
the 100 MHz loss value and –
“1.5 dB” as the 1 GHz loss
value. Cable losses are
entered as negative values.
