Part 3 Circuit principle 3.1 Receiving Circuit outputs to intermediate frequency crystal filter(IFCF) by T5. Q6 is NB control switch which controls the 3.1.1 RF front-end circuit conducting of the Q21. The RF front-end circuit of 0.5--30MH is composed of a Receiving band-pass filter, receiving preamplifier, pre 3.1.4 IFCF sets attenuator.

The band voltage generator consists of microprocessor and U25 and U26. 3.4 Power unit There are 2 groups main power supply for X108G, 9V and 5V, which are generated by U1B (LM2940T-9.0) and U2B (LM7805) on the power amplifier board. The microprocessor requirs 3.3V voltage which is generated by the U19.
