SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS • • REMOVING THE CASE REMOVING THE MAIN-E UNIT 1 Unscrew 6 screws, A. 1 Remove the shield covers, MP31 and MP33. 2 Unsolder the antenna connector, B (1 point). Note: When replacing the screw, 10–12 kg of torque MUST 3 Unsolder bottom side [A] (6 points), and side [B] (1 point), be applied to ensure water resistance.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS The signals from the RF circuit are mixed with the VCO sig- nals at the 1st mixer circuit (Q22) to produce a 21.7 MHz 1st 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT IF signal. (MAIN-E UNIT) The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter The 1st IF signal is applied to two crystal filters (FI1, FI2) to while receiving and as resonator circuit while transmitting.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT 4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS (MAIN-E AND FRONT UNITS) 4-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the detected signals to (MAIN-E UNIT) drive a speaker. The AF circuit includes an AF mute circuit The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies audio signals with for the squelch.
4-2-4 POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN-E UNIT) 4-3 PLL CIRCUITS The power amplifier circuit amplifies the driver signal to an 4-3-1 GENERAL output power level. The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre- quency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL circuit com- IC3 is a power module which has amplification output capa- pares the phase of the divided VCO frequency to the refer- bilities of about 35 W with 50 mW input.
4-3-2 TX AND RX LOOP (MAIN-E UNIT) • RESET CIRCUIT IC2 is a reset IC. When turn power ON, IC2 outputs a reset The generated signal at the VCO (Q4, Q5, D3, D4) enters signal (“LOW” pulse) to the CPU (IC1, pin 15) via the “RES” the PLL IC (IC1, pin 2) and is divided at the programmable line.
