SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS • • REMOVING THE CHASSIS UNIT REMOVING THE PA UNIT 1 Unscrew 1 nut A, and remove 2 knobs B, C. 1 Unscrew 3 screws M. 2 Unscrew 2 screws D. 2 Unsolder 4 points N, and take off the PA unit in the 3 Unscrew 2 screws E.
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 (PA UNIT) The 1st mixer circuit converts the received signal into fixed The antenna switching circuit functions as a low-pass filter frequency of the 1st IF signal with the PLL output frequency.

The 2nd IF signal from the 2nd mixer (IC9, pin 3) passes 4-1-6 SQUELCH CIRCUITS (MAIN UNIT) through the ceramic filter (FI2) to remove unwanted hetero- • NOISE SQUELCH dyned frequencies. It is then amplified at the limiter amplifier A squelch circuit cuts out AF signals when no RF signals section (IC9, pin 5) and applied to the quadrature detector are received.
The mixed signals are passed through the D/A converter 4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS (IC12, pin 3, 4), and are then applied to the D12 in the TX 4-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT VCO circuit. (MAIN UNIT) The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies audio signals within +6 dB/octave pre-emphasis characteristics from the 4-2-3 DRIVE/POWER AMPLIFIER CIRCUITS microphone to a level needed for the modulation circuit.
4-3-2 VCO CIRCUITS (MAIN UNIT) 4-3 PLL CIRCUITS The VCO circuits contains a separate RX VCO (Q17, D9, 4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) D11, D500) and TX VCO (Q16, D10, D13, D501). The oscil- A PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre- lated signal is amplified at the buffer amplifiers (Q15, Q29) quency and receive 1st LO frequency.
4-5 OTHER CIRCUITS 4-6 PORT ALLOCATIONS 4-5-1 COMPANDER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT) 4-6-1 D/A CONVERTOR IC (IC12) IC-F33GT/GS/F34GT/GS have compander circuit which can Port improve S/N ratio and become wide dynamic range. The cir- Description Number name cuit is composed in the base band IC (IC14).
