FR. POOL SELECTOR This switch is used to select the frequency range of operation (1 - 6). 8. MODE SWITCH This control allows you to select one of the following operating modes: CW/FM/AM/USB/LSB. 9. FINE/COARSE CONTROL Allows variation of the receiver operating frequency above and below the assigned frequency. Although this control is intended primarily to tune in SSB signal, it may be used to optimize AM/FM signals as described in the operating procedure paragraphs.

2. Turn VOL. knob clockwise to apply power to the radio. 3. Set the VOL. to a comfortable listening level. 4. Set the MODE switch to the desired mode. 5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQ knob slowly clockwise until the noise just disappears. -
Page 8: Operation
RCI-6900F TB DESCRIPTION 3.0 INTRODUCTION This section explains the technical theory of operation for the RCI-6900F HP / RCI-6900F TB mobile transceiver. 3.1 PLL CIRCUIT The Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit is responsible for developing the receiver’s first local oscillator signal and the transmitter’s exciter signal. -
Page 9: Pll Circuit
Q25, Q27, Q28, Q29 and Q61. The PLL circuit is programmed by the rotary channel switch GPS-0501. The GPS-0501 communicates the correct binary data information to the programmable divider inside of IC3. IC3 then controls the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), to oscillate on the correct frequency. - Page 10 - 10 -...
