How to Distinguish Between the Old and
New VGS-1
You can distinguish between the old and new VGS-1 as
described below.
■ VGS-1 (Old product)
The silk of the LF mark on the
old product is not printed
on the PC board.
Beat Shift Circuit
To prevent VGS-1 clock oscillation for the MCU (IC2)
from causing spurious reception to transceivers to which
VGS-1 is connected, the clock oscillator (11.0592MHz) has a
beat shift circuit with a transistor switch (Q1).
■ Beat Shift Circuit Off by MCU
When pin 94 of the MCU (IC2) goes Low level, Q2 turns
off and Q1 turns on because a 5V bias is applied to its base.
In this condition, C10 is shorted, so the oscillation frequency
is unchanged.
■ Beat Shift Circuit On by MCU
When pin 94 of the MCU goes High level, Q2 turns on
and Q1 turns off because its base is pulled down to GND.
In this condition, C10 is connected in series to the crystal
oscillator and the oscillation frequency increases by approx.
150ppm.
■ Beat Shift Circuit On/Off with External Device
When pin 94 of the MCU is in the Low level state, the
beat shift circuit turns on by designating pin 17 of the con-

Precautions When Repairing the VGS-1
• When you repair VGS-1 used by Amateur transceivers,
install it in the Amateur transceiver if it is necessary to
install the VGS-1 in the transceiver.
• When you repair VGS-1 used by Land mobile transceiv-
ers, install it in the Land mobile transceiver if it is neces-
sary to install the VGS-1 in the transceiver.
