SECTION 3 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION GENERAL INFORMATION The TX-446 has four printed circuit boards. (Main PCB, SW PCB and two BATT PCB in battery pack.) Circuitry is described in the following order: Microprocessor/Control Section, VCO/Synthesizer Section, Transmitter Section, Receiver Section and Battery Section. Refer to the Block Diagram and the Schematics. MICROPROCESSOR / CONTROL SECTION The microprocessor Q106 is constantly operating when the radio is turned ON.
TRANSMITTER SECTION RF POWER Amplifier The transmitter parts of the TX-446 is designed to amplify the RF signal oscillated and modulated by the synthesizer to approximately 500mW by the power transistor of Q407. The transmitted signal of approximately 7mW, combined at the driver FET is supplied to the gate of the Q407 amplifier. The transmitted signal amplifier to 500mW here passes the TX LPF of the second characteristics of the C418-C421, L408, PCB_L1 and PCB_L2 and RX/TX switching takes place by the Q406.
RECEIVER SECTION Receiver Front End In the receive mode, the RF signal enters thorough the antenna, then through the low-pass filter C427, C428, C430, C432 and L412, L413, L414 . The diodes Q404 and Q406 are biased off so that the output of the low-pass filter is, coupled (C401) to the Front End RF overload protection diode pair Q401 and the first band-pass filter SAW401.
SECTION 4 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES 4-1. GENERAL For proper alignment, the unit should be programmed with the following channel and frequency information. RX (MHz) TX (MHz) RX/TX Tone Code CH01 446.00625 446.00625 No Tone CH02 446.01875 446.01875 No Tone CH03 446.03125 446.03125 No Tone CH04...
4-2-4. VOX Adjustment 1. Place the Radio on channel 4 (446.04375MHz). 2. Adjust by hardware parameter setting function of CPS (Computer Programming System). 3. Adjust VOX Sensitivity High first. 4. Operate the transmitter and establish audio level so that deviation becomes 0.6KHz.
4-4. RECEIVER ALIGNMENT 4-4-1. Receiver sensitivity confirmation 1. Connect the Radio in accordance with Figure 3. 2. Set the output level of the RF signal generator for -47dBm and 1.5KHz deviation of 1KHz tone. 3. Set the audio output for 0.6V Vrm by adjusting volume. 4.
