Receiver Signal Path

"Main" Band 430 MHz Signal
The 430 MHz signal is passed through a high-pass filter
network and a low-pass filter network to the antenna
switch diodes D1029, D1030 (both RSL135) and D1001
(HSC277TRF), then passed through another low-pass fil-
ter network to the "Main" band RF amplifier Q1001
(3SK296ZQ).
The amplified 430 MHz signal is passed through the band
switch D1002 (HSC277) to the varactor-tuned band-pass
filter network consisting of D1004, D1005, and D1006 (all
HVC350B) and associated circuitry, then applied to the
first mixer Q1003 (3SK296ZQ). Meanwhile, the UHF lo-
cal signal from the UHF-VCO/B Q1116 (2SC5006) is de-
livered to first mixer Q1003, yielding the 45.05 MHz
"Main" band first IF.
"Main" Band 144 MHz Signal
The 144 MHz signal is passed through a low-pass filter
network and a high-pass filter network to the antenna
switch diodes D1113, D1114 (both UM9957F), D1115,
D1116 (both RLS135) and D1117 (both RLS135) then
passed through another low-pass filter network to the
"Main" band RF amplifier Q1014 (3SK296ZQ).
The amplified 144 MHz signal is passed through a varac-
tor-tuned band-pass filter network consisting of D1017,
D1018, D1019 (all HVC365) and associated circuitry to
the first mixer Q1016 (3SK296ZQ). Meanwhile, the VHF
local signal from the VHF-VCO/B Q1120 (2SC5374) is
delivered to first mixer Q1016, yielding the 45.05 MHz
"Main" band first IF.
"Main" Band IF and AF Signals
The 45.05 MHz "Main" band first local signal is delivered
to the monolithic crystal filter XF1001 which strips away
unwanted mixer products, then is passed through IF am-
plifier Q1027 (2SC4400) to the IF IC Q1044 (TA31136FN).
Meanwhile, a portion of the output of 11.15 MHz crystal
X1002 is multiplied fourfold by Q1042 (2SC4400) to pro-
vide the 44.6 MHz second local signal, then delivered to
the IF IC Q1044. Within the IF IC Q1044, the 44.6 MHz
second local signal is mixed with the 45.05 MHz "Main"
band first local signal to produce the 450 kHz "Main" band
second IF.
The 450 kHz "Main" band second IF is passed through
the filter switch D1039/D1041 (both HSC277) to the ce-
ramic filter CF1001 (CFWM450E) which strips away all
but the desired signal, then it passes through the IF am-
plifier within Q1044 to the ceramic discriminator CD1001
(CDBM450C24), which removes any amplitude variations
in the 450 kHz IF signal before detection of speech.

Circuit Description

The demodulated "Main" band audio is passed through
the de-emphasis network, audio switch D1047 (DAN222),
low-pass filter network (consisting of Q1052 (NJM2902V)
and associated circuitry), and a high-pass filter network
(consisting of Q1054 (NJM2904V) and associated circuit-
ry). The filtered audio signal is passed through the audio
volume control IC Q1063 (M51132FP), which adjusts the
audio sensitivity to compensate for audio level variations,
then is delivered to the audio switch Q1066 and Q1067
(both TC4W66FU).
When the internal speaker is selected, the audio signal is
amplified by Q1069 (TDA7233D) then applied to the in-
ternal loudspeaker. When the external speaker is select-
ed, the audio signal is amplified by Q1068 (LA4425A),
then it passes through the EXT SP jack to the external loud-
speaker.
"Sub" Band 430 MHz Signal
The 430 MHz signal is passed through a high-pass filter
network and a low-pass filter network to the antenna
switch diodes D1029, D1030 (both RSL135) and D1001
(HSC277TRF), then passed through another low-pass fil-
ter network to the "Sub" band RF amplifier Q1002
(3SK296ZQ).
The amplified 430 MHz signal is delivered through the
band switch D1009 (HSC277) to the varactor-tuned band-
pass filter network consisting of D1011, D1012, D1013 (all
HVC350B) and associated circuitry, then applied to the
first mixer Q1005 (3SK296ZQ). Meanwhile, the UHF lo-
cal signal from the UHF-VCO/A Q1123 (2SC5006) is de-
livered to first mixer Q1005, yielding the 47.25 MHz "Sub"
band first IF.
"Sub" Band 144 MHz Signal
The 144 MHz signal is passed through a low-pass filter
network and a high-pass filter network to the antenna
switc diodes D1113, D1114 (both UM9957F), D1115,
D1116 (both RLS135) and D1117 (both RLS135), then
passed through another low-pass filter network to the
"Sub" band RF amplifier Q1015 (3SK296ZQ).
The amplified 144 MHz signal is passed through the var-
actor-tuned band-pass filter network consisting of D1020,
D1021, D1022 (all HVC365) and associated circuitry to
the first mixer Q1017 (3SK296ZQ). Meanwhile, the VHF
local signal from the VHF-VCO/A Q1126 (2SC5374) is
delivered to first mixer Q1017, yielding the 47.25 MHz
"Sub" band first IF.
"Sub" Band IF and AF Signal
The 47.25 MHz "Sub" band first IF is delivered to the
monolithic crystal filter XF1002 which strips away un-
wanted mixer products, then passed through the IF am-
plifier Q1035 (2SC4400) to the IF IC Q1047 (TA31136FN).
