The AUX7 Auxiliary Program Board Model 1536 manual provides instructions for installing and operating the board, which allows programming of up to eight auxiliary 500 kHz frequency ranges for use with TR7 or R7 transceivers. It includes guidance on frequency programming, installation procedures, and troubleshooting tips, such as ensuring range modules and crystals are correctly programmed and seated.
Manual Overview
The AUX7 Auxiliary Program Board, Model 1536, is designed for integration with TR7 or R7 units, allowing users to program up to eight auxiliary 500 kHz frequency ranges. These ranges can be instantly selected from the front panel. For receive-only applications, an RRM7 Range Receive Module is required per band segment, while transceive operations necessitate an RTM7 Range Transceive Module, which requires proof of FCC authorization. Programming involves removing specific pins from the modules as per the provided chart, ensuring correct frequency operation. Incorrect programming can lead to undesired frequencies or damage. Installation involves removing the TR7/R7 cabinet and connecting the AUX7 to the appropriate socket. Ensure all connections are secure and properly aligned. Troubleshooting includes verifying module programming and seating, especially if issues arise in fixed frequency mode. Maintenance checks should confirm correct module programming and crystal installation. For fixed operations, crystals must meet specific frequency and tolerance requirements.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose incorrect frequency operation due to module misprogramming.
- Error codes for pin removal mistakes in RRM7/RTM7 modules.
- Calibration of fixed channel crystals using trimmer capacitors.
Overview
The AUX7 Auxiliary Program Board, Model 1536, is a plug-in unit designed for use with the TR7 or R7, allowing users to program up to 8 auxiliary 500 kHz frequency ranges for instant selection from the front panel. It includes a crystal socket for each range to enable fixed frequency receive and/or transmit operations. Programming for receive-only applications requires one RRM7 Range Receive Module per band segment, while transceive operations require one RTM7 Range Transceive Module per band segment. The manual provides detailed instructions on frequency programming, installation in TR7/R7, and operation, including the use of fixed channel crystals and maintenance tips.

Installation / Setup
The installation of the AUX7 auxiliary program board involves several steps. First, remove all interconnecting cables and the cabinet wraparound by unscrewing and sliding it off. If a DR7 is installed, additional steps include unplugging cable connectors, removing the antenna coax and bandswitch stepping wire, and carefully removing the DR7 using a board puller. The AUX7 is then plugged into the proper connector, ensuring all pins are aligned and the board is fully seated. If the DR7 was removed, it must be reinstalled by aligning the LED readout block and securing it with a hold-down screw and lockwasher. Reconnect the antenna coax and bandswitch wire, ensuring proper routing and connection. Finally, reconnect all cables, check for any issues like broken wires or misalignment, and reinstall the cabinet wraparound.
Operation
Operation of the TR7/R7 with the AUX7 is described in the Operator’s Manual. Programmed ranges are selected by the front panel AUX PROGRAM switch, and fixed operation is selected by the FIXED XMIT and FIXED RCV pushbuttons. Channel crystals may be set on frequency by selecting the proper range and fixed mode and adjusting the corresponding trimmer capacitor with a non-metallic tool. When using an auxiliary range, be sure to set the BAND selector to the proper position, as indicated by the SET BAND light. The light will extinguish when the BAND setting is correct.
