Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with 21 pre - defined symbols and a 32*96 dot matrix for graphical or alpha - numerical information e.g. channel number, select code, call address name. To control the LED’s and the LCD, and to communicate with the host radio the control head uses the Motorola 68HC11K4 microprocessor.
µP will switch the radio off. Microprocessor Circuit The controlhead uses the Motorola 68HC11E9 microprocessor (µP) (U0831) to control the LED’s and to communicate with the host radio. RAM and ROM are contained within the microprocessor itself.
THEORY OF OPERATION The microprocessor’s RAM is always powered to maintain parameters such as the last operating mode. This is achieved by maintaining 5V at µP pin 25. Under normal conditions, when the radio is off, USW 5V is formed by FLT A+ running to D0822. C0822 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM parameters.
Controlhead Model for GM140, GM340 and GM640 An additional pair of analogue lines and A/D µP ports (PE 3 – 2) is available to support a keypad microphone, connected to the microphone connector J0811. Any microphone key press is processed the same way as a key press on the controlhead.

Controlhead Model for GM160, GM360 and GM660 Microprocessor Circuit The controlhead uses the Motorola 68HC11E9 microprocessor (µP) (U0831) to control the LED’s and the LCD and to communicate with the host radio. RAM and ROM are contained within the microprocessor itself.
THEORY OF OPERATION Keypad Keys The controlhead keypad is a 6-key kepad (Model B) or a 10- key keypad (model C). All keys are configured as 2 analogue lines read by µP pins 13 and 15. The voltage on the analogue lines varies between 0 volts and +5 volts depending on which key has been pressed.
Controlhead Model for GM160, GM360 and GM660 includes the RAM start address for the following display data. With input A0 set to logic „1" the µP then writes the display data to the display RAM. When data transfer is complete the µP terminates the chip select, RD and WD activities.
- numerical information e.g. channel number, select code, call address name. To control the LED’s and the LCD, and to communicate with the host radio the controlhead uses the Motorola 68HC11K4 microprocessor. Power Supplies The power supply to the controlhead is taken from the host radio’s FLT A+ voltage via connector J0801 pin 3.
5 SOURCE and transistor Q0866 and the controlhead’s microprocessor starts execution. Microprocessor Circuit The controlheadcontrolhead uses the Motorola 68HC11K4 microprocessor (uP) (U0871) to control the LED’s and the LCD and to communicate with the host radio. RAM and ROM are contained within the microprocessor itself.
2-10 THEORY OF OPERATION reads serial data via pin 78. Whenever the microprocessor detects activity on the BUS+ line, it starts communication. When the host radio needs to communicate to the controlhead µP, it sends data via line BUS+. Any transition on this line generates an interrupt and the µP starts communication.
Controlhead Model for GM380, and GM1280 2-11 causes the output of the op-amp to rise and to reduce the base to emitter voltage of Q0943. This decreases the current of Q0941 until the loop has settled. The back light for the LCD module uses a similar circuitry. The only differences are that µP port PH2 controls the back light brightness and that the LED’s are located on the LCD module which is connected via J0821.
2-12 THEORY OF OPERATION informs the µP about the pressed PTT button. The µP will inform the host radio about any status change on the PTT IRDEC line via SBEP bus. When line PTT IRDEC is connected to FLT A+ level, transistor Q0851 is switched on through diode VR0851 and thereby pulls the level on line ON OFF CONTROL to FLT A+ level.

MUX ICs, the On/Off circuit, and general purpose Input/Output circuitry. The controller uses the Motorola 68HC11FL0 microprocessor (U0101). In addition to the microprocessor, the controller has 3 external memory devices. The 3 memory devices consist of a 32Kbyte SRAM (U0122), a 512Kbyte FLASH EEPROM (U0121), and a 16Kbyte EEPROM (U0111).
Controller Circuits The voltage VSTBY, which is derived directly from the supply voltage by components R0621 and VR0621, is used to buffer the internal RAM. C0622 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM parameters. Dual diode D0621 prevents radio circuitry from discharging this capacitor.
THEORY OF OPERATION from emitter to collector of the pnp transistor. When the radio is turned on the voltage at the base of the npn transistor is pulled high and the pnp transistor switches on (saturation). With voltage INT SWB+ now at supply voltage level, transistor Q0641 pulls pin 2 of the voltage regulators U0611 and U 0641 to ground level and thereby enables their outputs.
Controller Circuits Ignition Ignition sense is used to prevent the radio from draining the vehicle’s battery because the engine is not running. When the IGNITION input (J0501 pin 10) goes above 5 volts Q0661 is turned on via line IGNITION CONTROL.
THEORY OF OPERATION send serial from a µP to a device, and SPI RECEIVE DATA is used to send data from a device to a µP. On the controller there are two ICs on the SPI BUS, ASFIC CMP (U0221-22), and EEPROM (U0111- 5).
Controller Circuits DIG IN 1 can be used as external PTT input, DATA PTT input or others, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via pin 77 and Q0171. DIG OUT 2 can be used as normal output or external alarm output, set by the CPS. Transistor Q0173 is controlled by the µP via ASFIC CMP pin 14.
THEORY OF OPERATION On the µP the lines XIRQ (U0101-48), MODA LIR (U0101-58), MODB VSTPY (U0101-57) and RESET (U0101-94) should be high at all times during normal operation. Whenever a data or address line becomes open or shorted to an adjacent line, a common symptom is that the RESET line goes low periodically, with the period being in the order of 20msecs.
Controller Board Audio and Signalling Circuits 1.14 Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory (EEPROM) The external 16 Kbyte EEPROM (U0111) contains additional radio operating parameters such as operating frequency and signalling features, commonly know as the codeplug. It is also used to store radio operating state parameters such as current mode and volume.

Controller Board Audio and Signalling Circuits 1-11 C0254 serves as a DC blocking capacitor. Multi switch U0251 controlled by ASFIC CMP port GCB4 selects either the external microphone input signal or the voice storage playback signal for entering the ASFIC CMP at pin 48. The audio signal at U0221-48 (TP0222) should be approximately 14mV for 1.5kHz or 3kHz of deviation with 12.5kHz or 25kHz channel spacing.
1-12 THEORY OF OPERATION 2.2.3 TX Secure Audio (optional) The audio follows the normal transmit audio processing until it emerges from the ASFIC CMP TX SND pin (U0221-44), which is fed to the Secure board residing at option connector J0551-33. The Secure board contains circuitry to amplify, encrypt, and filter the audio.

Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the VHF circuits in the radio. For details of the theory of operation and trouble shooting for the the associated Controller circuits refer to the Controller Section of this manual.
THEORY OF OPERATION There are two 2-pole 44.85 MHz crystal filters in the high-IF section and 2 pairs of 455 kHz ceramic filters in the low-IF section to provide the required adjacent channel selectivity. The correct pair of ceramic filters for 12.5 or 25kHz channel spacing is selected via control line BWSELECT. The second IF at 455 kHz is mixed, amplified and demodulated in the IF IC.
VHF (136-174MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25 W Low Intermediate Frequency (IF) and Receiver Back End The 44.85 MHz high-IF signal from the second IF amplifier feeds the IF IC (U3101) at pin1. Within the IF IC, the 44.85 MHz high IF signal mixes with the 44.395 MHz second local oscillator (2nd LO) to produce the low-IF signal at 455 kHz.
THEORY OF OPERATION First Power Controlled Stage The first stage (U3401) is a 20dB gain integrated circuit containing two LDMOS FET amplifier stages. It amplifies the RF signal from the VCO (TXINJ). The output power of stage U3401 is controlled by a DC voltage applied to pin 1 from the op-amp U3402-1, pin 1. The control voltage simultaneously varies the bias of two FET stages within U3401.
VHF (136-174MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25 W Directional Coupler The directional coupler is a microstrip printed circuit, which couples a small amount of the forward power delivered by Q3441. The coupled signal is rectified by D3451. The DC voltage is proportional to the RF output power and feeds the RFIN port of the PCIC (U3501 pin 1).
THEORY OF OPERATION VHF (136-174MHz) Frequency Synthesis The frequency synthesizer subsystem consists of the reference oscillator (Y3261 or Y3263), the Low Voltage Fractional-N synthesizer (LVFRAC-N, U3201), and the voltage-controlled oscillators and buffer amplifiers (U3301, Q3301-2 and associated circuitry). Reference Oscillator The reference oscillator (Y3263) contains a temperature compensated crystal oscillator with a frequency of 16.8 MHz.
VHF (136-174MHz) Frequency Synthesis A voltage of 5V applied to the super filter input (U3201 pin 30) supplies an output voltage of 4.5 VDC (VSF) at pin 28. It supplies the VCO, VCO modulation bias circuit (via R3363) and the synthesizer charge pump resistor network (R3251, R3252).
THEORY OF OPERATION The VCOBIC together with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U3201) generates the required frequencies in both the transmit and receive modes. The TRB line (U3301 pin 19) determines which tank circuits and internal buffers are to be enabled. A high level on TRB enables the TX tank and TX output (pin 10), and a low enables the RX tank and RX output (pin 8).
VHF (136-174MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 45 W In order to modulate the PLL, the two spot modulation method is utilized. Via U3201 pin 10 (MODIN), the audio signal is applied to both the A/D converter (low frequency path) as well as the balance attenuator (high frequency path).
2-10 THEORY OF OPERATION In receive mode the voltage control line is at ground level and turns off Q3501-2, which in turn switches off the biasing voltage to U3401. Pre-Driver Stage The next stage is an LDMOS device (Q3421) providing a gain of 13 dB. This device requires a positive gate bias and a quiescent current flow for proper operation.
VHF (136-174MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 45 W 2-11 Antenna Switch The antenna switch consists of two PIN diodes, D3471 and D3472. In the receive mode, both diodes are off. Signals applied at the antenna jack J3401 are routed, via the harmonic filter, through network L3472, C3474 and C3475, to the receiver input.

The correct pair of ceramic filters for 12.5 or 25KHz channel spacing is selected via control line BWSELECT. The second IF at 455 kHz is mixed, amplified and demodulated in the IF IC.
UHF (403-470MHz) Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25 W produce the low IF signal at 455 kHz. The 2nd LO frequency is determined by crystal Y3101. The low IF signal is amplified and filtered by an external pair of 455 kHz ceramic filters FL3112, FL3114 for 20/25 kHz channel spacing or FL3111, FL3113/F3115 for 12.5 kHz channel spacing.
THEORY OF OPERATION First Power Controlled Stage The first stage (U4401) is a 20dB gain integrated circuit containing two LDMOS FET amplifier stages. It amplifies the RF signal from the VCO (TXINJ).

THEORY OF OPERATION U4502 is a temperature-sensing device, which monitors the circuit board temperature in the vicinity of the transmitter driver and final devices, and provides a dc voltage to the PCIC (TEMP, pin 30) proportional to temperature. If the DC voltage produced exceeds the set threshold in the PCIC, the transmitter output power will be reduced so as to reduce the transmitter temperature.

Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the LowBand circuits in the radio. For details of the theory of operation and trouble shooting for the the associated Controller circuits refer to the Controller Section of this manual.
THEORY OF OPERATION Low Band Receiver Receiver Front-End The low band receiver is bandsplit into three ranges depending on radio model, covering frequencies from 29.7 to 36.0 MHz, 36.0 to 42.0 MHz, or 42.0 to 50.0 MHz. The circuitry of the three models is identical except for component value differences.
Low Band Receiver There are two 2-pole 10.7 MHz crystal filters in the high-IF section and two switched pairs of 455 kHz ceramic filters in the low-IF section to provide the required adjacent channel selectivity. The second IF at 455 kHz is mixed, amplified and demodulated in the IF IC. The processing of the demodulated audio signal is performed by an audio processing IC located in the controller section.
THEORY OF OPERATION presented to the high-Q crystal filters FL1102 and FL1103, would cause ringing of the filter response, stretching an otherwise narrow impulse into a long and audible output waveform. Therefore, source follower stage Q1104 isolates the blanker switches from the crystal filters, providing a consistent source impedance via matching network L1106, L1107 and associated components.
Low Band Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25-60 W the AGC input pin 5 of U1601, reducing its gain and therefore the amount of noise pulses which are detected and processed. Low Band Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25-60 W The radio’s 60 W PA is a three-stage amplifier used to amplify the output from the VCO to the radio transmit level.
THEORY OF OPERATION MOSBIAS_1 is set during transmit mode by the PCIC pin 24, and fed to the gate of Q1401 via resistors R1402, R1447, R1449, R1458, R1459 and R1463, The bias voltage is tuned in the factory. The circuitry associated with U1402-2 and Q1404 limits the variation in the output power of the driver stage resulting from changes in the input impedance of the final stage due to changes at the antenna of the radio.
Low Band Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) 25-60 W Power Control The transmitter uses the Power Control IC (PCIC, U1503) to control the power output of the radio. A differential DC amplifier U1502-1 compares the voltage drop across current-measuring resistor R1409, which is proportional to the transmitter final stage DC current, with the voltage drop across resistor R1508 and R1535, which is proportional to the current through transistor Q1503.
THEORY OF OPERATION Low Band Frequency Synthesis The frequency synthesizer subsystem consists of the reference oscillator crystal (Y1201), the Low Voltage Fractional-N synthesizer (LVFRAC-N, U1201), and the receive and transmit VCOs and buffers (Q1303 through Q1308 and associated components). Fractional-N Synthesizer The LVFRAC-N synthesizer IC (U1201) consists of a reference oscillator, pre-scaler, a programmable loop divider, control divider logic, a phase detector, a charge pump, an A/D converter for low frequency digital modulation, a balance attenuator to balance the high frequency analog...
Low Band Frequency Synthesis Output LOCK (U1201-4) provides information about the lock status of the synthesizer loop. A high level at this output indicates a stable loop. A buffered output of the 16.8 MHz reference frequency is provided at pin 19. The operating frequency of the synthesizer is loaded serially from the microprocessor via the data line (DATA, U1201-7), clock line (CLK, U1201-8) and chip select line (CSX, U1201-9).

Low Band Frequency Synthesis 2-11 only by the resistors connected to BIAS 1, BIAS 2, or the internal current source. A settled synthesizer loop is indicated by a high level of signal LOCK (U1201-4). In order to modulate the PLL the two spot modulation method is utilized. Via pin 10 (MODIN) on U1201, the audio signal is applied to both the A/D converter (low frequency path) and the balanced attenuator (high frequency path).
