Circuit Description
3. Transmitter System
3-1. Mic Amplifier
The AF signal from microphone jack J4001 (VX-4100 series)
or J5001 (VX-4200 series) is amplified with microphone am-
plifier Q1066 (NJM12902V), is amplified with 2nd microphone
amplifier Q1088 (NJM12902V) after microphone selection
switch Q1016 (NJU4053BV), and passes microphone gain con-
troller Q1029 (M62364FP). The AF signal which was controlled
in the correct gain passes compandor Q1021 (LA8630M). When
does not using a compandor, with the control from the CPU, it
passes in the compandor circuit inside of Q1021 (LA8630M)
and it is output and it passes a pre-emphasis circuit. Q1063
(BU4066BCFV) becomes "OFF" when an optional unit is at-
tached and the AF signal from Q1037 (AK2345) goes via the
optional unit. When an optional unit isn't attached, Q1063
(BU4066BCFV) becomes "ON," the signal passes Q1063
(BU4066BCFV) and is input to Q1037 (AK2345). The signal
passed limiter and splatter filter of Q1037 (AK2345), then ad-
just the maximum deviation by the microphone gain controller
Q1029 (M62364FP). The adjusted low frequency signal ingre-
dient is amplified by Q1074 (NJM12902V), added modulation
terminal of TCXO (X1003), the FM modulation is made by ref-
erence oscillator. The high frequency signal ingredient is ampli-
fied Q1074 (NJM12902V), and adjusted the level by volume
Q1029 (M62364FP) to make frequency balance between low
frequency. After that, it is made FM modulation to transmit car-
rier by the modulator D1030 (HVC383B) of VCO.
3-2. Drive and Final amplifier
The modulated signal from the VCO Q1054 (2SK508) is buff-
ered by Q1049 (2SC5226) and amplified by Q1038 and Q1094
(both 2SC5226). The low-level transmit signal is then applied
to the Power Module Q1028 (RA45H4452M) for final ampli-
fication up to 45 watts output power. The transmit signal then
passes through the antenna switch D1005 and 1006 (Both
UM9957F) and is low-pass filtered to suppress away harmonic
spurious radiation before delivery to the antenna.
3-3. Automatic Transmit Power Control
The output power of Power Module is detected by CM coupler,
it is detected by D1013 and D1014 (both HSM88AS) and is
input to comparator Q1095 (NJM12902V). The comparetor
compares two different voltages and makes output power stable
by controlling the bias voltage of Power Module. There are 3
levels of output power (Hi, Mid, and Lo), it is switched by the
voltage of Q1029-1 (M62364FP).
3-4. PLL Frequency Synthesizer
The frequency synthesizer consists of PLL IC Q1085
(SA7025DK), RX VCO Q1054 (2SK508), TCXO (X1003),
and buffer amplifier. The output frequency from TCXO is 16.8
MHz and the tolerance is ±2.5 ppm (in the temperature range -
30 to +60 degrees).

3-4-1. VCO
While the radio is receiving, the RX oscillator Q1054 (2SK508)
in VCO generates a programmed frequency between 399.15 and
461.15 MHz as 1st local signal. While the radio is transmitting,
the TX oscillator Q1058 (2SC3356) in VCO generates a fre-
quency between 450 and 512 MHz. The output from oscillator
is amplified by buffer amplifier Q1049 (2SC5226) and becomes
output of VCO. The output from VCO is divided, one is ampli-
fied by Q1057 (2SC5226) and feed back to pin 5 of the PLL IC
Q1085 (SA7025DK). The other is amplified in Q1038
(2SC5226) and in case of the reception, it is put into the mixer
as the 1st local signal through D1022 (DA221), in transmis-
sion, it is amplified in Q1038 (2SC5226), and more amplified
in Q1094 (2SC3357) through D1022 (DA221) and it is put the
input terminal of the Power Module Q1028 (RA45H4452M).
3-4-2. VCV CNTL
Tuning voltage (VCV) of VCO is expanding the lock range of
VCO by controlling the anode of varactor diode at the negative
voltage and the control voltage from PLL IC Q1085
(SA7025DK). The negative voltage is added to the varactor
diode after converted to negative by Q1035 (SPM5001), which
is output voltage of D/A converter Q1029 (M62364FP).
3-4-3. PLL
The PLL IC Q1085 (SA7025DK) consists of reference divider,
main divider, phase detector, charge pumps and fractional accu-
mulator. The reference frequency from TCXO is inputted to pin
8 of PLL IC Q1085 (SA7025DK) and is divided by reference
divider. This IC is decimal point dividing PLL IC Q1085
(SA7025DK) and the dividing ratio becomes 1/8 of usual PLL
frequency step. Therefore, the output of reference divider is 8
times of frequencies of the channel step. For example, when the
channel stepping is 5 kHz, the output of reference divider be-
comes 40 kHz. The other hand, inputted feed back signal to pin
5 of PLL IC Q1085 (SK7025DK) from VCO is divided with
the dividing ratio which becomes same frequency as the output
of reference divider. These two signals are compared by phase
detector, the phase difference pulse is generated. The phase dif-
ference pulse and the pulse from fractional accumulator pass
through the charge pumps and LPF. It becomes the DC voltage
(VCV) to control the VCO. The oscillation frequency of VCO
is locked by the control of this DC voltage. The PLL serial data
from CPU Q1083 (LC87F74C8A) is sent with three lines of
SDO (pin 2), SCK (pin 1) and PSTB (pin 3). The lock condition
of PLL is output from the UL (pin 18) terminal and UL becomes
"H" at the time of the lock condition and becomes "L" at the
time of the unlocked condition. The CPU Q1083
(LC87F74C8A) always watches over the UL condition, and
when it becomes "L" unlocked condition, the CPU Q1083
(LC87F74C8A) prohibits transmitting and receiving.
