TC-508 Service Manual 2) During cloning, the LED of the source radio glows red, and the LED of the target radio glows green. When cloning finishes, both LEDs go out, indicating that both radios are ready for another cloning. 3) If any abnormal situation occurs during cloning, the source radio will stop cloning and its LED will flash orange, indicating that it is ready for another cloning.

TC-508 Service Manual The LED solidly glows green during RX group tuning (CH10 to CH13). The LED goes out upon invalid items (CH14 to CH16). 4. To switch between wide and narrow band Under a certain tuning item, long press the PTT key (the LED flashes orange to indicate valid press) to switch between wide and narrow bands.
TC-508 Service Manual Circuit Description 1. General Principle Diagram The general circuit is composed of TX circuit, RX circuit, power supply circuit, control circuit and etc. See the block diagram below: Figure 1 TX Section: The audio signal from MIC is sent to the MCU chip (U601) directly. The baseband signal...

TC-508 Service Manual the newly generated signals will be processed by crystal filter XF501 to produce 38.85M the first IF signal. After being amplified, the IF signal goes via Q506 to the chip U611, where the IF signal will be mixed with the second local oscillator for the second time to produce the 450KHz second IF signal.

TC-508 Service Manual TX signal or RX first local oscillator signal. 2) VCO The VCO section is realized by the three-point capacitor oscillator circuit. TX VCO and RX VCO share the same oscillator circuit. Q103 controls the switch between TX VCO and RX VCO.
Page 12
TC-508 Service Manual After the RF signals are received from the antenna, the undesired out-of-band signals are filtered out at the bandpass filter. Then the remaining RF signals are amplified by LNA Q501. Afterwards, the amplified signal goes through the bandpass filter again to eliminate undesired out-of-band interference signal.
