D12 through D33 are matrix diodes to convert the band signal
into hexadecimal code for the CPU.
The output signal from the mixer is then fed to the BPF unit.
The BPF unit is composed of a high-pass filter, low- pass filter
and band-pass filter for each band, and buffer amplifiers.
The high-pass filter is composed of C1 through C5, and L1
and L2.
The low-pass filter is composed of C6 through C13 and L3
through L5.
The band-pass filters are provided for each band and
selected one of them by the band signal from the band
switch.
The signal passed through the high-pass filter, low-pass filter
and a band-pass filter is then fed to the buffer amplifiers, Q1,
Q2 and Q3. The output of Q3 is then fed to the mixer
consisting of D4 through D7 in the RF unit as the 1st local
oscillator signal.
3. LOGIC CIRCUITS
The logic circuits control operating frequency, band, mode,
PLL, display etc., and are designed for low power
consumption and high-speed operation using a CMOS 4-bit
CPU.
The CPU, IC1 is a plastic package with 42 pins. CLO and
CL1 of pins 1 and 42 are the clock terminals for this CPU,
oscillating at about 400KHz with X1 ceramic oscillation unit .
The CPU has a total of 9 input and output ports, each sharing
its own function:
Port A - 4 bit input
Decodes the port E output as shown in the matrix table to
expand input functions with time sharing.
Port B - 4 bit input
Used as an input port for the sensor (tuning control).
Port C - 4 bit output
Outputs the 2nd local oscillator 1OOHz steps D/A converting
signal.
Port D - 4 bit output
Outputs the 2nd local oscillator 10Hz steps D/A converting
signal.
Port E - 4 bit output
Outputs various data as a general purpose output terminals.
Port F - 3 bit output
F0: Strobe signal output for display.
F1: Load signal output for PLL above 1KHz digit.
F2: Reset signal output for display.
Ports G and H are not used.
Port I - 1 bit output
I0: Reset signal output for sensor counter.
When the power switch is turned on, 13. 8VDC is applied to
IC9, voltage regulator, through R2 and D1. IC9 puts out
regulated 5V. At the same time, Q2 is turned on and supplies
the regulated 5V as the power source of the LOGIC unit.
When a memory backup power source is connected, the
power is applied to IC9 through R1, and regulated 5V is
supplied to IC1, the CPU to maintain the operating frequency,
memorized frequency, etc. At this time, Q2 is turned off and
5V is not supplied for the other circuits.
At the moment of the power switch has been turned on, a
pulse is fed to pin 3 of IC8 through C3. After the pulse has
been waveform-shaped, it is fed to the reset terminal (pin 7)
of IC1, to initialize the CPU.
The matrix circuit is designed as follow:
BA 1 through BAS are band data which is fed from the
PREMIX unit.
Th is data is processed by the CPU and the CPU puts out
signals to control the display and PLL.
In the SSB operation, the selected sideband (LSB or USB) is
reversed automatically when changing the operating band
from 10MHz to the lower band or from 7MHz to the upper
band. For this function, the band data and mode data (LSB or
USB) from the mode switch are fed to exclusive OR gates,
IC7, and their outputs are fed to A0 and A1 input terminals of
the CPU.
The two signals from the rotary encoder connected to the
tuning control are input to SENS1 and SENS2 terminals of
the LOGIC unit, and waveform-shaped by the respective
Schmitt triggers, consisting of IC2 and R11 through R14. One
of the waveform-shaped signal is fed to pin 5 of IC7,
3 – 7
