1. Frequency Configuration
The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is
49.95MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The first local oscil-
lator signal is supplied from the PLL circuit.
The PLL circuit in the transmitter generates the necessary
frequencies. Figure 1 shows the frequencies.

2. Receiver System
The receiver system is shown in Figure 2.
2-1. Front End (RF AMP)
The signal coming from the antenna passes through the
transmit/receive switching diode circuit (D604, D605, D606
and D608), passes through a BPF (L717 and L718), and is
amplified by the RF amplifier (Q705).
The resulting signal passes through a BPF (L711, L712 and
L713) and goes to the mixer. These BPFs are adjusted by
variable capacitors (D703, D704, D705, D706 and D707). The
input voltage to the variable capacitor is regulated by voltage
output from the DC amplifier (IC19).
2-2. First Mixer
The signal from the front end is mixed with the first local
oscillator signal generated in the PLL circuit by Q704 to pro-
duce a first IF frequency of 49.95 MHz.
The resulting signal passes through the XF701 MCF to cut
the adjacent spurious and provide the optimum characteris-
tics, such as adjacent frequency selectivity.
2-3. IF Amplifier Circuit
The first IF signal is passed through a four-pole monolithic
crystal filter (XF701) to remove the adjacent channel signal.

Fig. 2 Receiver system
The filtered first IF signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier
(Q703) and then applied to the lF system IC (IC701). The IF
system IC provides a second mixer, second local oscillator,
limiting amplifier, quadrature detector and RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indicator). The second mixer mixes the first
IF signal with the 50.4MHz of the second local oscillator out-
put (TCXO X501) and produces the second IF signal of
450kHz.
The second IF signal is passed through the ceramic filter
(Wide 5k, Wide 4k : CF701, Narrow : CF702) to remove the
adjacent channel signal. The filtered second IF signal is am-
plified by the limiting amplifier and demodulated by the
quadrature detector with the ceramic discriminator (CD701).
The demodulated signal is routed to the audio circuit.
2-4. Wide 5k, Wide 4k/Narrow Switching Circuit
Wide 5k, Wide 4k and Narrow settings can be made for
each channel by switching the ceramic filters CF701 (Wide
5k, Wide 4k), CF702 (Narrow). The Wide 5k, Wide 4k and
Narrow switching data is output from IC4.
D701 and D702 are switched to ceramic filters when a
Wide 5k, Wide 4k/Narrow level is selected.
Q702 turns on/off with the Narrow and the IC701 detector
output level is changed to maintain a constant output level
during wide or narrow signals.
