OPERATING FREQUENCY
6 The receivers operating frequency is determined by the synthesiser circuit in the Rx RF module and
can be changed by the user through the front panel, through the VFP or through an associated MARC
system (or compatible control and data system). Details of how to change the operating frequency are
contained in the T6R Receiver User Guide, Section 4 of this handbook (VFP) and the MARC User Guide
(MARC).
INPUT SUPPLIES
7 The receiver can be operated from standard ac input supplies, or from a low voltage dc supply (refer
to the User Guide for specification). Both ac and dc input supplies can be connected to the equipment.
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.

INTRODUCTION
1 This section describes the modules and assemblies that comprise the T6R receiver and details the
equipments connectors. Designed for rack mounting in a standard 19 inch rack the unit operates from
standard 120/240 V ac supplies with automatic changeover to 28 V dc in the event of mains failure. The
majority of user connections are made through rear mounted connectors.
2 A front panel connector is used for the connection of a headset for local operation or for the
connection of a PC for Virtual Front Panel (VFP) control. Operational settings are configured at the front
panel, through the VFP, or through an associated MARC system (or compatible control and data
system). At the receiver, operational settings are selected and displayed using the front panel
Scroll/Select switch and the LCD.
3 The receiver is housed in a sheet metal chassis with top and bottom lids. Two compartments (top
and bottom) contain most modules and assemblies with front and rear panels straddling the
compartments.
DSP module
Rx RF module
PSU module
6 A brief functional description for each module and assembly is given in the following paragraphs.
Reference should be made to Fig. 2 when reading these descriptions.
DSP MODULE
7 The DSP module provides the receiver user interfaces and performs message formatting,
demodulation and control functions for the receiver. Mounted on the module are the 'rear panel' Facilities
connector CN5, MARC connector CN6 and Computer port CN7 (see Fig. 3 for pin-out detail). The
module comprises the following functional entities:
Central Processor
8 Core control of the equipment is provided by a Hitachi Super H 16-bit RISC processor with both
internal and external ROM and RAM. The internal ROM is factory programmed with a basic boot loader
application; the main application code is held in external FLASH EPROM. This arrangement allows new
application software to be downloaded via a serial port. Configuration and calibration data is held in
external serial EEPROM. A supply voltage supervisor provides a reliable power up/power down reset
signal.
Section 2
Page 2
31-160000RX
Speech Coding/Decoding
11 The A/D and D/A functions required to interface the digital processing to the analogue lines are
provided by an A Law speech CODEC. Audio output is used to drive a front panel connected headset or
loudspeaker. Audio is also routed out via the Facilities port.
Computer Interface
12 Two RS422 full duplex synchronous serial ports, using HDLC protocol, provide the interface to an
external computer for use in digital modulation modes. A set of four input lines and four output lines,
operating at RS232 voltage levels, are also provided to allow a receiver to be linked to a transmitter to
form a base station.
Facilities Port
14 A number of inputs and outputs are provided via the Facilities port. These include the balanced
audio, tape output, unregulated supply and 0 V connections. The inputs and outputs are shown in
Table 1 (see also Table 5 on Page 10 for full pin-out of Facilities connector CN5).

RX RF MODULE
19 This module combines a synthesiser, an RF converter and an IF filter/converter onto one PCB.
RF Converter
20 The RF Converter section converts the RF input signal down to the IF frequency. Two digitally tuned
filters are integrated into the PCB. These filters are controlled by 5 data lines from the DSP module.
21 The RF input is initially passed through an RF AGC attenuator controlled by an analogue signal
(RF AGC) from the DSP module.
IF Filter/Converter
22 The input to the IF filter/converter is provided from the RF Converter section of this module. The IF
filter/converter circuits provide filtering of the 1st IF signal (21.4 MHz) which is then converted to a 2nd IF
signal (450 kHz). The 2nd IF signal is then demodulated by the DSP module.
23 The main channel selectivity is provided by the crystal filter on the IF filter/converter. Separate
crystal filters are used for 8.33 kHz channel spacing and 25 kHz channel spacing. These are
automatically switched in accordance with the channel spacing selected using the narrow/wide control
line.
24 In addition to the filter/converter circuits this section of the module also has IF AGC amplifiers
controlled by an analogue signal (IF AGC) from the DSP module.
Synthesiser
25 This section provides the mixing frequencies required for the RF and IF conversion stages.
26 The synthesiser essentially consists of a 20.95 MHz reference frequency oscillator, a single loop
filter, a VCO and a frequency divider. The 20.95 MHz reference is used in the IF stage and the VCO
output in the RF stage. The frequency divider is controlled by 3 serial lines from the DSP module. An
analogue input (Frequency Trim) from the DSP module allows the reference oscillator to be trimmed.
31-160000RX
Section 2
Page 5
27 A BIT output signal (BIT Synth Lock) is provided when the synthesiser is in lock.
BIT
28 The Rx RF module is able to provide a module interruptive BIT to determine if it is at fault. This is
done by injecting a noise signal, controlled by the DSP module via the BIT Control line, into the front end
of the RF conversion stage, after the RF AGC. The RF AGC is held low during this test to prevent
antenna radiation. The noise source is a broadband VHF oscillator on the Rx RF module. The noise
signal should pass through the RF and IF conversion stages to be demodulated by the DSP module as
would a real signal.
LCD Module
30 A 16 character by 4 lines liquid crystal display module with backlight displays the radio menu
system. It is controlled by an 8-bit data bus from the DSP module accompanied by 3 control lines (a
separate control line is used to switch the backlight on and off).
Indicators
32 Four LED indicators, RECEIVE, ALARM, READY and STANDBY, are provided.
individually controlled by 4 lines from the DSP module.

Loudspeaker Amplifier
33 An audio amplifier is provided which accepts an input signal from the DSP module and provides
output to drive a loudspeaker.

checking and adjusting the reference frequency are given in Section 3.
Headset/Diagnostics Connector
41 The headset/diagnostics connector is a dual purpose connector that allows either a headset or a PC
to be connected to the receiver. The connector is a 7-pin self locking DIN socket.
42 A headset can be fitted to this connector to enable the receiver to be operated in AM local mode. The
connections are detailed in Table 3. A personal computer (PC) can also be connected to allow the VFP
to be displayed. Using the VFP is detailed in Section 4 of this handbook. The connections at the receiver
are shown in Table 4.

INTRODUCTION
1 This chapter describes the facilities available when using the Virtual Front Panel (VFP) software
with radios configured for AM-voice operation. The VFP software is located on the CD-ROM supplied
with this handbook.
2 The T6R's operating frequency and settings can be selected at the receiver's front panel using the
multi-function Scroll/Select switch and LCD (see Fig. 1). Procedures for setting the receiver from the
front panel are given in the T6R Receiver User Guide.
3 VFP software, which runs on an IBM compatible PC, can also be used to set up the receiver.
Using the VFP offers several advantages over setting up from a receiver's front panel. These are:
o
When set up using the VFP, a profile of the receiver's operational settings can be created. The
profile can then be used to automatically set up other radios within a system, or to reset a radio
should the DSP module ever be replaced.
After setting up from the VFP, the receiver's front panel can be locked. This means that a
receiver's settings cannot inadvertently be changed by tampering with the front panel controls.
A print-out of a receiver's profile (all the operational settings) can be made from the VFP.
31-160000RX
Section 4 Chapter 1
Page 1
The receiver's original operating software can be reloaded from the VFP should the DSP
module ever be replaced (this facility is not available from the receiver's front panel).
New operating software for the receiver can be downloaded through the VFP (this facility is not
available from the receiver's front panel).
The VFP software is supplied by PAE on CD-ROM. To install the software onto a PC:
(a) Ensure that your PC is running Windows 95 or Windows NT and that no applications are
running in the background.
(b) Insert the CD-ROM containing the PAE software into the PCs CD-ROM drive.
(c) From the Start menu select RUN.
(d) In the RUN dialogue box, key in, #:\SETUP.EXE and click on OK (where # is the drive letter of
the CD-ROM drive).
(e) The Set-up procedure then begins. Follow the on-screen instructions.
(f) When completed, the set-up programme returns the PC to the Desktop and displays the
following icon:
