SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION 1. REMOVING THE CHASSIS UNIT 3. REMOVING THE MAIN UNIT q Unsolder 6 points from the shield cover. q Unscrew the ANT nut, and remove the VR knob. w Unsolder 4 points from the contact spring. w Remove the VR washer, and unscrew the top screw.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS RF CIRCUITS While transmitting, serial-connected PIN diodes are ON, RF circuits consist of RF fi lters, antenna switch (ANT SW), thus the TX line is connected to the antenna, and the RX RF amplifi er (RF AMP), etc., and extracts and amplifi es the line is connected to the GND simultaneously to prevent TX signals of frequency which desired to receive.

2ND IF AND FM DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS The 2nd IF circuits consist of 2nd mixer, 2nd IF filter, 2nd IF amplifier. And it converts the 1st IF signal into the 2nd IF IC (TA31136FNG) BLOCK DIAGRAM IF signal, then filters to remove unwanted signals and amplifi...
SQUELCH CIRCUITS • TONE SQUELCH • NOISE SQUELCH The tone squelch connects the RX AF line and activates The noise squelch cuts off the AF output signals when the AF power amplifier to emit the AF signals only when no RF signals are received. Extracting noise components receiving a signal which contains the tone frequency (approx.

The applied MIC signals are amplified at the amplifier <CTCSS/DTCS> (TXA1), and level adjusted at the volume controller (VR1). CTCSS/DTCS signals ("CEN0"–"CEN2") are generated by The level adjusted MIC signals are applied (bypassed) the the CPU (F: IC401, pins 79–81) and converted its wave compressor section, pre-emphasis section, TX/RX HPF, form by R461–R463 (F), then passed through the LPF (F: de-scrambler, limiter, splatter, in sequence, then applied to...

TRANSMIT AMPLIFIERS APC CIRCUIT The transmit amplifiers consist several RF amplifiers (pre- The APC (Automatic Power Control) circuit stabilizes transmit output power to prevent transmit output power level driver, driver, power), and amplify the TX VCO output to the change which is caused by load mismatching or heat effect, transmit output level.
• TX VCO 4-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS The TX VCO oscillates 136 to 174 MHz TX signal. The VCOs generated TX signal is applied to the pre-driver (one of TX A VCO is an oscillator which its oscillation frequency is AMPs) via the TX/RX SW.
4-4 OTHER CIRCUITS VIBERATION MOTOR CIRCUIT AGC (Automatic Gain Controller) CIRCUIT (except [A], [D], [G], [J]) The AGC circuit effectively reduces the RX signal level if MF1 is a vibration motor. When the matched RX code signal the signal is strong, and raises it when it is weaker. The is received, MF1 rotates to produce viberation.
