INTRODUCTION DANGER This service manual describes the latest service information NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC for the IC-F110, F111 and F121 VHF TRANSCEIVER at the power supply that uses more than 16 V. This will ruin the transceiver.
SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS • Opening case Lift up the front portion of the main unit and remove it. Unscrew 4 screws A, and remove the bottom cover. Disconnect the flat cable B from J2. Disconnect the cable C from J7. Unscrew 2 screws D, and remove the front unit.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS 4-1-3 1ST MIXER AND 1ST IF CIRCUITS (MAIN UNIT) 4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT The 1st mixer circuit converts the received signals to a fixed (MAIN UNIT) frequency of the 1st IF signal with the PLL output frequency. The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter By changing the PLL frequency, only the desired frequency while receiving and as resonator circuit while transmitting.
4-1-5 AF AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) 4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS The AF amplifier circuit amplifies the demodulated AF sig- 4-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT nals to drive a speaker. (MAIN AND FRONT UNITS) The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies audio signals The AF signals from the FM IF IC (IC1, pin 9) are applied to within +6 dB/octave pre-emphasis characteristics from the the active filter circuit (IC16).
4-2-4 POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) 4-3 PLL CIRCUITS The power amplifier circuit amplifies the driver signal to an 4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) output power level. A PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre- quency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL output com- The RF signal from the drive amplifier (Q8) is passed pares the phase of the divided VCO frequency to the refer- through the low-pass filter circuit (L18, L43, C89, C90, C92,...
