50 MHz UNIT The 50 MH z signal from the antenna is fe d thro ugh Q 101 where it i s mixe d with the local (MC1496G), a lo w-pa ss filter, con si sting of C323 , C 324 , L312, signal delivere d from Q208.
Page 20
430 MHz UNIT The incoming signal is fed through RL1301 to the Q1402 Qi403 and final (2SC1426), (2SC1426), two stage RF amplifier, consisting of Qi201 and amplifier Qi3oi The output signal (UP-07BL). Qi 202 and then passed through a from Qi 3oi is fed through a stripline filter, via (2SC2369), selective filter to the doubly balanced diode mixer, RL i 301, to the ANT jack.
