TK-8160
■ Unlock Circuit
During reception, the 8RC signal goes high, the 8TC signal
goes low, and Q44 turns on. Q43 turns on and a voltage is
applied to the collector (8R). During transmission, the 8RC
signal goes low, the 8TC signal goes high and Q46 turns on.
Q45 turns on and a voltage is applied to 8T.
The CPU in the control unit monitors the PLL (IC401) LD
signal directly. When the PLL is unlocked during transmis-
sion, the PLL LD signal goes low. The CPU detects this sig-
nal and makes the 8TC signal low. When the 8TC signal goes
low, no voltage is applied to 8T, and no signal is transmitted.

Transmitter System
■ Outline
The transmitter circuit produces and amplifies the desired
frequency directly. It FM-modulates the carrier signal by
means of a varicap diode.
■ Power Amplifier Circuit
The transmit output signal from the VCO passes through
the transmission/reception selection diode (D448) and ampli-
fied by Q501, Q502 and Q503. The amplified signal goes to
the final amplifier (Q504) through a low-pass filter. The low-
pass filter removes unwanted high-frequency harmonic com-
ponents, and the resulting signal is goes the antenna termi-
nal.
■ APC Circuit
The automatic transmission power control (APC) circuit
detects part of a final amplifier output with a diode (D606,
D607, D608 and D609) and applies a voltage to IC651. IC651
compares the APC control voltage (PC) generated by the D/A
converter (IC201) and DC amplifier (IC214) with the detection
output voltage. IC651 generates the voltage to control Q502,
Q503 and Q504 and stabilizes transmission output.
The APC circuit is configured to protect over current of
Q502, Q503 and Q504 due to fluctuations of the load at the
antenna end and to stabilize transmission output at voltage
and temperature variations.
