    17. S-RF/SWR SWITCH This is a two-function switch. In the S-RF position, the meter will indicate the strength of the signal being received, as well as the relative RF output of transmission. To use the meter to measure the standing wave ratio, turn the switch to the SWR position. The SWR function is self-calibrating. 18.

    3.1 PLL CIRCUIT The Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit is responsible for developing the receiver’s first local oscillator signal and the transmitter’s exciter signal. The PLL circuit consists primarily of IC2, IC3, IC4, IC5 Q25, Q27, Q28, Q29 and Q61. The PLL circuit is programmed by the rotary channel switch GPS-0501. The switch communicates the correct binary data information to the programmable divider inside of IC3.
