SECTION 1 PRECAUTION This service manual does not describe PRECAUTION. SECTION 2 SPECIFIC SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 2.1.1 Frequency Configuration The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is 49.95MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The first Local oscillator is supplied from the PLL circuit.
Page 5
2.1.2.3 IF Amplifier Circuit The first IF signal is passed through a four-pole monolithic crystal filter (XF400) to remove the adjacent channel signal. The filtered first IF signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier (Q403) and is then applied to the IF system IC (IC400). The IF system IC provides a second mixer, AGC+BPF, PLL FM detector, noise squelch and RSSI circuit.
Page 6
2.1.3.3 APC Circuit The APC circuit always monitors the current flowing through the drive amplifier (Q206) and RF power amplifier (Q208), and keeps it constant. The voltage drop at R230, R231 and R233 is caused by the current flowing through the RF final amplifier. This voltage is applied to the differential amplifier IC200 (1/2).
Page 7
2.1.5 Control Circuit The control consists of the MCU (IC710) and its peripheral circuits. It controls the TX-RX unit. IC710 mainly performs the following; (1) Switching between transmission and reception via the PTT signal input. (2) Reading channel information, frequency, and program data from the memory circuit. (3) Sending frequency program data to the PLL.
Page 8
2.1.6 Signaling Circuit 2.1.6.1 Encode Low-speed data (QT, DQT) Low-speed data is output from pin 29 of the MCU. The signal passes through the low pass CR filter, and goes to the audio processor (IC705). The signal is mixed with the audio signal and goes to the VCO and TCXO (X1) modulation input after passing through the D/A converter inside the audio processor (IC705) for BAL adjustment.

2.1.7 Power Supply There are five 5V power supplies and five 3.3V power supplies: 50M, 50V, 50C, 50R, 50T, 33M, 33MS, 33B, 33R and 33MD. 50M and 33M are always output while the power is on. 33MS is always output, but turns off when the power is turned off, to prevent a malfunction of the MCU. 50C is a common 5V and is output when SAVE is not set to ON.
Page 10
2.1.8.2 For Digital Voice Mode If the digital data matches in the MCU, the digital voice payload data will go into the Vocoder in the MCU for conversion to PCM. The PCM data will go to the baseband IC through the SPI input, where it will be converted to analog by the DAC. Analog voice will be filtered and finally sent to the audio amplifier.
