SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Removing the chassis panel q Remove nut (2 × 8 mm, black) and 3 screws w Unscrew 2 screws (2 × 4 mm, black) from the chassis. e Take off the chassis in the direction of the arrow. NOTE: * Tighten the screws in order of a number (q–y) when assembling.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The 1st IF signal is applied to a 2nd mixer section of the 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS FM IF IC (IC231, pin 16). The signal is then mixed with a 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT 2nd LO signal for conversion into a 450 kHz 2nd IF signal. (MAIN UNIT) The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter IC231 contains the 2nd mixer, limiter amplifier, quadrature...
4-1-5 SQUELCH CIRCUIT 4-2-2 MODULATION CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) The modulation circuit modulates the VCO oscillating signal (MAIN AND LOGIC UNITS) (RF signal) using the microphone audio signals. The noise squelch circuit cuts out AF signals when no RF signals are received. By detecting noise components in the The audio signals “MOCON”...
4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS 4-3 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) VOLTAGE LINES 4-3-1 GENERAL The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit LINE DESCRIPTION frequency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL output The voltage from the attached battery pack. compares the phase of the divided VCO frequency to the reference frequency.
