SECTION 4.
4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS (RF UNIT)
EARPHONE ANTENNA
When using the connected earphone as an antenna, RX
signal from the earphone is applied to the RF circuits (except
0.10–1.895 MHz band), through the earphone antenna SW
(D101 and D109).
ATTENUATOR CIRCUIT
When the attenuator is activated, the PIN diode (D68)
is forward-biased and a 10 dB (approx.) attenuator is
composed.
The switching of D68 is carried out by Q521 with the control
signal "ATT."
RF CIRCUITS
The RX signal from the antenna is applied to appropriate
RF circuits, according to the RX frequency.
• 0.10–1.895 MHz
When using an external antenna;
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q505) through the band SWs
(D66, D67 and D73) and LPFs.
When using the internal bar antenna;
The RX signal from the internal bar antenna (CHASSIS;
EP2) is applied to the RF AMP (Q505) through the ANT SW
(D76).
The amplified signal is passed through the band SWs (D71
and D72), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).
• 1.9–14.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q505) through the band SWs
(D65, D70 and D73), LPF and the BPF.
The amplified signal is passed through the band SWs (D71
and D72), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).

• 15–29.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q505) through the band SWs
(D63, D64 and D73), LPF and the HPF.
The amplified signal is passed through the band SWs (D71
and D72), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).
• 30–117.995 MHz and 175–329.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1) is
applied to the RF AMP (Q36) through the band SW (D13) and
the BPF. The amplified signal is passed through the band SWs
(D34 and D71), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).
• 118–174.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q14) through the band SWs (D74
and D75) and BPF. The amplified signal is passed through
the tuned BPF (D1 and D2) and band SWs (D25 and D71)
and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).
• 330–469.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q35) through the band SWs
(D3 and D75) and the BPF. The amplified signal is passed
through the tuned BPF (D4 and D5) and band SWs (D29
and D71), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18 ).
• 470–832.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q24) through the band SWs (D11
and D75) and BPF. The amplified signal is passed through
the band SWs (D32 and D71), and then applied to another
RF AMP (IC18).
• 833–1309.995 MHz
The RX signal from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
is applied to the RF AMP (Q26) through the band SW (D13)
and BPF. The amplified signal is passed through the band
SW (D36), and then applied to another RF AMP (IC18).
The signal from the RF AMP (IC18) is applied to the 1st IF
circuits.
