    SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS (3) 2.0–30.0 MHz The signals pass through a high pass filter (L811–L814, 4-1-1 RF SWITCHING CIRCUIT C811–C817) to suppress excessively strong signals below (FILTER AND MAIN UNITS) 2.0 MHz, such as from broadcasting stations. The filtered The RF switching circuit leads receive signals to bandpass signals are applied to a low-pass filter and one of 5 band- filters from the antenna connector while receiving.
