SECTION 4. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS (RF UNIT) EARPHONE ANTENNA • 15–29.995 MHz When using the connected earphone as an antenna, RX The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1) signal from the earphone is applied to the RF circuits (except is applied to the RF AMP (Q505) through the band SWs 0.10–1.895 MHz band), through the earphone antenna SW (D63, D64 and D73), LPF and the HPF.

1ST IF CIRCUIT (RF UNIT) 3RD IF AND DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS The RX signal from the RF circuit is applied to the 1st IF (RF UNIT) mixer (IC1) to be mixed with the 1st LO signal from the 1st The signal from the 2nd IF AMP (Q5) is applied to the IF de- LO VCO (Q528, Q529, D105 and D106), resulting in the modulator IC (IC12) which contains the 3rd IF mixer, 3rd IF 266.7 MHz 1st IF signal.
DOUBLER CIRCUITS FOR THE 1ST LO SIGNAL The amplified AF signal is passed through the LPF (R350 IC-R6 has two doubler circuits, "DBL1" and "DBL2". They and C404), whose frequency response is changed by Q508 double the frequency of the VCO output signal to obtain the according to the user setting (The "AF FILTER").
