Circuit Description Transmitter Section 8.1.1 PLL Circuit (CMB-257) The unit obtains the required frequency using the PLL type frequency synthesizer. In short, the self-excited oscillator using L and C is controlled using a stable crystal oscillator frequency to generate an equivalent stable self-excited oscillator frequency.
8.1.4 Output Control Circuit (CAH-559) The unit employs a circuit that controls fluctuations of power to keep the transmitting output constant. It also has the function to prevent the transmitting output from exceeding the ratings. For this purpose, a positive voltage detected by CD3 is divided into certain voltages by RV1 and RV2, and applied to the negative input pin of IC1.
Receiver Section 8.2.1 PLL Circuit (CMA-705) The PLL circuit for reception has the same construction as that for transmission. The low-pass filter consisting of CR suppresses relatively high undesirable noise components of the DC control voltage for frequency control, which is supplied by the PLL circuit. 8.2.2 IF Circuit (CMA-705) FL1 consists of two crystal filters whose center frequency is 21.4MHz.
8.3 Operation Panel (CMD-745) CD1 through CD3 are 7 segment type LED indicators. The control signals from the CPU are held in IC5 to IC8, and IC1 to IC4 drive the LED's. CD8 and CD5 are send/receive indicators. SW1 through SW12 are numeric switches.

program written to ROM (IC11). The microprocessor (IC1) outputs chip select data using the address bus. IC2, IC6, IC7 or IC8 designates memory IC and ports for the chip select data. The designated IC supplies data to the microprocessor or any external device according to the request made by the microprocessor.
8.5 MODEM (CNM-162BA) The MODEM is used to transmit or receive control or monitor signals of the VHF Transceiver to or from VHF Controller at a distant place. For the MODEM, a transmission rate of 200 or 1200 baud can be selected.
