SECTION 3 OPTIONAL UNIT INSTALLATION CAUTION: DISCONNECT the DC power cable from the transceiver before performing any work on the transceiver. Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock and/or equip- ment damage. • Opening the transceiver case Follow the case opening procedure shown here when you want to install an optional unit, etc.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS The signals from the RF circuit are mixed with the VCO sig- nals at the 1st mixer circuit (Q3) to produce a 21.7 MHz 1st 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT IF signal. The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter while receiving and as resonator circuit while transmitting.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT The amplified signals are applied to the IDC amplifier (IC13a, pin 2) via the analog switch (IC12, pins 8, 9 and pins The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the detected signals to 4, 3) and are passed through the splatter filter (IC13b) to drive a speaker.
4-3 PLL CIRCUITS The pulse-type signal is converted into DC voltage (lock voltage) at the loop filter (R252–R254, C292–C294), and is 4-3-1 GENERAL then applied to varactor diodes (D6, D7) of the TX-VCO to The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre- stabilize the oscillated frequency.
4-4 DSC CIRCUITS (DSC UNIT) • LOW BATTERY DETECTOR VCC voltage is divided by R204, R205 and is applied to the 4-4-1 DATA INTERFACE CIRCUIT low battery detector section in the MPU (IC16, pin 42). The control signals from DS-100 CLASS D/DSC TERMINAL are shaped waveform at the SCHMITT circuit (IC3) via the photo-coupler (IC2), and are then applied to the MAIN unit 4-6-2 LOGIC UNIT...
