The 9.3 V and the A+ voltage are the main DC power for the RF section. The 9.1 V (referred to as
"keyed 9.1 V") is controlled by the VOCON board through P501, pin 45. This DC voltage enables the
transmitter's RF power amplifier when the VOCON board senses a lock detect from the synthesizer.

3.10 Receiver Front-End

This section provides a detailed circuit description of receiver front-end (RXFE). When reading the
Theory of Operation, refer to your appropriate schematic and component location diagrams located
in "Chapter 7. Schematics, Component Location Diagrams, and Parts
operation will help isolate the problem to a particular component.
3.10.1 VHF (136–174 MHz) Band
The receiver circuits primary duties are to detect, filter, amplify, and demodulate RF signals in the
presence of strong interfering noise and unintended signals. The receiver is broken down into the
following blocks
• Front-end, which includes:
- 15 dB step attenuator
- PIN diode switches
- Three discrete filters
- Two low-noise amplifiers
- Mixer
• Back-end, which includes:
- Two crystal filters
