Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes SECTION III. Installation Unpacking Carefully remove your transceiver from the packing carton and examine it for signs of shipping damage. Should any shipping damage be apparent, notify the delivering carrier or dealer immediately, stating the full extent of the damage.

Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes impedance is recommended for fixed or mobile operation. In VHF as well as HF, every watt o ERP effective radiated power will make a difference. Therefore, 10 watts output into a 3 db gain antenna yields 20 watts effective radiated power, assuming a low VSWR, of course.

Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes SECTION VI Theory of Operation TRANSMITTER Microphone, pre-amplifier circuit The pre-amplifier circuit is composed of Q30, Q29, in an NPN, PNP direct-coupled 2-stage amplifier configuration. The low noise transistors used and application of a large amount of feedback in the 1st stage gives a high signal-to-noise ratio and high stability.

Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes Interstage Amplifier BPF output is amplified up to about 2 mW in the Q22 stage that is a MOSEFT with good linearity. Low Level Amplifier Interstage amplifier output is amplified to about 100 mW by stage Q19, which also functions as an ALC circuit.
Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes RECEIVER R.F. Amplifier Antenna input or self contained antenna signals pass through switching diode D-40 located in the PA section to the RF amplifier Q2 where it is amplified and passed to the R.F. filter section. Out-of- band signals are attenuated by the band pass filters.

Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes Local oscillator The overtone oscillator in Q7 is provided to reduce spurious signals resulting from multiplication of the fundamental oscillator. L6 is provided in series with the crystal to facilitate frequency adjustment.

Icom IC-22S PLL Synthesized 2-Meter Transceiver Instruction Manual and Service Notes Reference oscillator divider IC3 is an IC used to produce the reference frequency for the synthesizer, and includes a quartz crystal oscillator and a 12-stage high speed divider. The oscillator produces 7.68 MHz oscillations which the high-speed divider section divides by 1024 to give the 7.5 kHz reference pulses.
