INTRODUCTION This service manual describes the latest service information for the IC-F3GT and IC-F3GS at the time of publication. To upgrade quality, all electrical or mechanical parts and internal circuits are subject to change without notice or oblig- ation. DANGER NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC power supply that uses more than 16 V.
SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY AND OPTION INSTRUCTIONS 3-1 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION • REMOVING THE CHASSIS PANEL 1 Unscrew 1 nut A, and remove 1 knob B. 2 Unscrew 2 screws C. 3 Take off the chassis in the direction of the arrow. 4 Unplug J6 to separate front panel and chassis.
3-2 OPTIONAL UNIT INSTALLATIONS 1 Remove the option cover. 2 Remove the bottom protective paper of spoge. 3 Connect one of UT-96, UT-105, UT-109, UT-110, UT-111, and UT-108 optional unit J5. 4 Replace the option cover to the chassis-hole. Option cover Option unit SPONGE Parts name : 1556 sponge...
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS The signals from the RF circuit are mixed at the 1st mixer (Q13) with a 1st LO signal coming from the VCO circuit to 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT produce a 31.05 MHz 1st IF signal. Received signals are passed through the low-pass filter (L1, λ...
4-1-5 AF CIRCUIT The AF signals from the microphone are applied to the AF signals from the FM IF IC (IC2, pin 9) are applied to the microphone amplifier circuit (IC3c, pin 10). The amplified AF mute switch (IC4, pin 1) via the AF filter circuit (IC3b, pins 6, signals are passed through the low-pass filter circuit (IC3d, 7).
When the driving current is increased, input voltage of the 4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS differential amplifier (pin 2) will be increased. In such cases, VOLTAGE LINE the differential amplifier output voltage (pin 1) is decreased LINE DESCRIPTION to reduce the driving current. The voltage from the attached battery pack.
