SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION RECEIVER CIRCUITS The 1st IF signal is applied to two crystal filters (FI1 and FI3) to suppress out-of-band signals. The filtered 1st IF signal is 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT applied to the IF amplifier (Q14), then applied to the 2nd Received signals passed through the low-pass filter (L1, L2, mixer circuit (IC1, pin 16).
The AF signals are applied to the AF power amplifier circuit The audio signals (SHIFT) change the reactance of D37 to (IC5, pin 4) to obtain the specified audio level. The amplified modulate an oscillated signal at the VCO (Q50, D38). The AF signals, output from pin 10, are applied to the internal oscillated signal is amplified at the LO (Q6) and buffer (Q4) speaker (SP1) via the speaker jack (CHASSIS unit;...
