SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION 1. Removing the front panel 3. Removing shield plate q Remove the knob A and jack cap B. q Unscrew 2 screws A. w Unscrew the Antenna nut and 4 screws C and D. w Unsolder 2 points B, and remove the shield plate from e Disconnect the speaker connector.
SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Q13) and converted into the fixed frequency of 1st IF signal 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS by mixing with the 1st Local Oscillator (LO) signals from the • ANTENNA SWITCHING VCO (Q76, D59−D61). By changing the 1st LO frequency, The antenna switching circuit toggles the receive (RX) line and only the desired frequency will pass through a pair of transmit (TX) line.
SQUELCH CIRCUIT (RF AND LOGIC UNITS) The “NOIS” signal is applied to the CPU (LOGIC UNIT; IC8, • pin 17), and the CPU compares the “NOISE” signal and set - NOISE SQUELCH - reference level (squelch threshold level). When the input The noise squelch mutes the AF output when no RF signals “NOIS”...
APC (Automatic Power Control) CIRCUIT (RF UNIT) The operational amplifier compares the rectified voltage • and reference voltage “T3,” and the difference of the voltage The APC (Automatic Power Control) circuit prevents the transition of the transmit output power level which is caused is output from the operational amplifier pin 1.
4-4 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS DC voltage from the battery or external DC power supply is routed to whole circuit of the transciever via regulators. • POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS Q9, Q10, Q18, Q19 SW5V COMMON; Charger From the PLL IC (IC19), circuit ext.
