Service Manual
EVX-5300 EVX-5400
Introduction
This manual provides technical information necessary for servicing the EVX-5300/-5400 UHF Digital/Analog Mobile Trans-
ceiver.
Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to
service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in some countries.
Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided circuit board in the transceiver. Each side of is referred to by the
type of the majority of components installed on that side (“leaded” or “chip-only”). In most cases one side has only chip com-
ponents, and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs,
etc.), or leaded components only.
As described in the pages to follow, the advanced microprocessor design of the EVX-5300/-5400 allows a complete alignment
of this transceiver to be performed without opening the case of the radio; all adjustments can be performed from the personal
computer, using with the Vertex Standard FIF-12 USB Programming Interface and CE142 Software.
While we believe the technical information in this manual to be correct, Vertex Standard assumes no liability for damage that
may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies
in the technical information would be appreciated.
Important Note
This transceiver is assembled using Pb (lead) free solder, based on the RoHS specification.
Only lead-free solder (Alloy Composition: Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) should be used for repairs performed on this apparatus.
The solder stated above utilizes the alloy composition required for compliance with the lead-free specification, and any
solder with the above alloy composition may be used.

MSK Deviation
This parameter is to align “MSK Deviation” which use for the ANI operation of the MDC1200 System.
1. Press the “MSK” button to open the “MSK Deviation Align-
ment” window.
2. Click the “PTT” button or press the “SPACE” bar of the com-
puter’s keyboard to transmit the radio.
3. Set the value to get desired deviation (Nominal: 3.0 kHz) on
the deviation meter according to the following ways:
l Dragging the slide bar
l Clicking the arrow buttons
l Pressing the left/right arrow key of the computer’s keyboard
l Entering the value (“–20.00” - “20.00”) in the “Currend
Data” box from the computer’s keyboard
ê
4. After getting the desired deviation, click the “PTT” button or
press the “SPACE” bar to stop transmitting.
5. Click the “OK” button to finish the MSK Deviation alignment
and save the data.
