applied
only in the transmit condition,
from the "T" line, via voltage
divider
R14l-R142.
The emit-

that can be coupled through a
coaxial
cable
to
the power
amplifier board
with minimum
loss.

From the preselector,

power amplifier board via coupling capacitor Cl04.
Since QJ.Ol

is

iaken from the

The
emiiter circuit
is conveniional, and the ouiput is taken
via TlOl,
which provides
a
push-pull
signal for ihe folYowing
driver siages.
CIOS and ferrite bead FBlOl provide de-
coupling for the collector supply line.

RIO? and CRlOl form
a forward-biased diode regulat-
or circuit
to control
the am-

cI06,
ClO? and CIOS are bypasses.
The
C12J,

assures the
cor-
