SECTION 4
4-1 RECEIVE CIRCUITS
4-1-1RF CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNITS)
The MAIN-A UNIT has eight RF circuits and one down converter
circuit to provide wide receiving range. The received signals from
the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1) are applied to RF circuits
or down converter circuit according to the received frequency,
and amplified within the frequency coverage.
IC-PCR2500 contains MAIN-B UNIT which has 4 RF circuits to
provide dulalwatch or diversity capability .
The 0.01–50 MHz signals from the antenna are passed
through the attenuator (D1, D3), band switch (D9) and low-
pass fi lter (LPF; L20, L26, C54, C60, C68, C72, C81, C88),
then applied to one of the RF circuit.
• 0.01–1.8 MHz*
The 0.01–1.8 MHz signals are passed through the band
switch (D29), LPF (L48, L52, C134, C148, C171, C173) and
another band switch (D56), then applied to the 1st mixer
(IC14, pins 4, 5).
