VCO Section

The Voltage Controlled Oscillator uses a junction FET which oscillates at the
required transmitter output frequency. A varactor diode is used by the PLL circuit to
keep the oscillator on the desired frequency. Transistor Q20 is used as an active
filter to reduce the noise on the oscillator supply voltage. The VCO is keyed ON by
the microcontroller through Q10. It is keyed ON when any of the PTT inputs are
active and OFF at all other times.
