5.8 MIX
(Mixer)
BOARD
(X48-1020-10)
(See Figure 24)
Transistor Q2 acts as the first transmitter mixer. It mixes
the transmitter's first IF signal (from the XF board) and the
VFO
output to generate the transmitter's second IF signal
(8 MHz range).
Transistor
Q3
acts as the second
receiver IF mixer.
It
converts the 8 MHz first receiver IF signal to a 3.395 MHz
second receiver
IF signal. The VFO
input is injected into
the
mixer
through
a
3 section
LC
low-pass
filter
to
eliminate harmonics.
The transmit output and receive input circuits include an
electronic
tuner
(VCT) which uses a variable capacitance
diode, D1.

Q4 and Q5 monitor the ALC voltage for the ALC meter
reading. Q6 and Q7 are a detector circuit to detect RF AGC
voltage. Q8 and QQ are a lamp indicator circuit to control
the switch lamps for the external VFO switching.
