SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS • Opening case and remove the front panel ➀ Unscrew 4 screws A, and remove the bottom cover. ➁ Disconnect the flat cable B from J2. ➂ Disconnect the cable C from J7. ➃ Unscrew 2 screws D , and remove the front unit in the direction of the arrow.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter while receiving and as resonator circuit while transmitting. This circuit does not allow transmit signals to enter the receiver circuits.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the demodulated AF sig- nals to drive a speaker. The AF signals from the FM IF IC (IC1, pin 9) are applied to the active filter circuit (IC16). The active filter circuit (high- pass filter) removes CTCSS or DTCS signals.
4-2-4 POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) The power amplifier circuit amplifies the driver signal to an output power level. The RF signal from the drive amplifier (Q8) is passed through the low-pass filter circuit (L18, C90, C89) and applied to the power module (IC3) to obtain 25 W or 50 W of RF power.
4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS 4-4-1 VOLTAGE LINES (MAIN UNIT) Description Line The voltage from a DC power supply. The same voltage as the HV line which is con- trolled by the power switching circuit (Q23, Q24). When the [POWER] switch is pushed, the CPU outputs the “PWON”...
