6. Control Circuit
The control circuit consists of a microprocessor (IC13) and
its peripheral circuits. It controls the TX-RX unit and transfers
data to and from the display unit. IC13 mainly performs the
following:
(1) Switching between transmission and reception by the
PTT signal input.
(2) Reading system, group, frequency, and program data
from the memory circuit.
(3) Sending frequency program data to the PLL.
(4) Controlling squelch on/off by the DC voltage from the
squelch circuit.
(5) Controlling the audio mute circuit by the decode data input.
(6) Transmitting tone and encode data.
1) Frequency shift circuit
The microprocessor (IC13) operates at a clock of
9.8304MHz. This oscillator has a circuit that shifts the
frequency by BEAT SHIFT SW (Q31).
2) Memory circuit
Memory circuit consists of the CPU (IC13) and a flash
memory (IC12). A flash memory has a capacity of 2M bits
that contains the transceiver control program for the CPU
and data such as transceiver channels and operating
features.
This program can be easily written from an external device.
Data, such as DTMF memorise and the operating status,
are programmed into the EEPROM (IC10).
Flash Memory
Note : The flash memory holds data such as written with the
FPU (KPG-56D), and firmware program (User mode, Test
mode, Tuning mode, etc.). This data must be rewritten when
replacing the flash memory.
EEPROM
Note : The EEPROM stores tuning data (Deviation, Squelch,
etc.).
Realign the transceiver after replacing the EEPROM.

3) Low battery warning
The battery voltage is monitored by the microprocessor
(IC13). When the battery voltage falls below the voltage set by
the Low Battery Warning adjustment, the LED flashes red to
notify the operator that it is time to replace the battery. If the
battery voltage falls even more (approx. 5.8V), a beep sounds
and transmission is stopped.
Low battery warning
The red LED flashes during
transmission.
The red LED flashes and a
continuous beep sounds
while PTT is pressed.
7. Optional Board Terminal
Terminals for mounting the option board are provided at
the bottom edge of the TX-RX unit. The table below shows the
correspondence between the board and terminals.
