Main Unit AF Amplifier.
In the case of AM, the signal goes
to the AM Detector Circuit, then to the Main Unit AF Amp.
In SSB Transmit
(USB or LSB) the audio signal and BFO
signal go to the DBM

Composed
of the AF
Amplifier,
MIC
Amplifier,
VOX
Circuit, Anti-VOX Circuit, CW Break-in Circuit, CW Moni-
tor, ALC,
APC,
Regulator Circuit, and the Meter Control
Circuit.
In receive, the detected
AF
signal from
the
IF unit,
is
applied to a high performance and low distortion AF power
amplifier IC, and amplified and fed to the speaker.
in VOX operation, a part of the AF output signal is applied
to the ANTI VOX circuit, and its output voltage is fed to
the VOX
circuit to prevent misfunction
of the VOX
by
audio from the speaker.
In the CW mode, the side-tone oscillator is keyed according
to your keying, and its output signal is fed to the AF power
amplifier.
A voice signal from the microphone is applied to the MIC
amplifier, amplified and fed to the modulation circuit on
the IF unit.
The ІС-720А has a protection circuit which detects reflected
power,
collector current of the final transistors, and ALC
condition.
И some problem occurs, such as mismatching of the antenna,
the circuit reduces
the driving power to the final power
transistors, and protects them.

DRIVER
UNIT
The transmit signal from the RF
Unit is amplified to 6
Watts in the Driver Unit, which is composed of three stages
of wideband amplifiers.

This unit is made up of а class AB push-pull wideband агп-
plifier, a negative feedback circuit for giving a gain flatness
response
across
the
bands,
and
a thermal
switch
that
monitors the temperature
of the final transistors and con-
trols the speed of the cooling fan.
The signal from the
Driver unit is applied this unit and amplified to 100 watts.

LOGIC
UNIT
This unit is composed of an incorporated CPU for treating
data such as up/down signal detection control, the dial lock
control
circuit, the speed tuning circuit, the rotary relay
control circuit, code converter circuit, and the 1/О control
circuit.
The dial clock signals are generated by the photo-chopper
directly connected to the tuning knob.
The up/down cont-
rol circuit detects the rotating direction of the tuning knob,
and puts out the up/down control signal for the CPU.
The CPU is a 4-bit microcomputer which has a program to
control the set.
The CPU's function are determined by the
input signals, such as the dial clock signal, up/down signal
and the signals from the function switches, and the CPU
puts out signals to control the operating band, frequency,
mode, tuning steps, display, and so on.

PLL
UNIT
This unit is composed of three Phase-Locked
Loops for the
15% Local Oscillator, a crystal oscillator and multiplier for
the 2nd Local Oscillator, and voltage regulators for this unit.
The first loop puts out 13.15 ~ 23.14MHz
with
10KHz
steps.
