SECTION 3. DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION 1. REMOVING THE PCB 6) CAREFULLY lift the PCB out of the front panel, and 1) Remove the battery pack from the transceiver. then turn it over in order to unplug the speaker wire. 2) Remove the DC cap and antenna nut. 3) Remove 6 screws from the rear panel.
SECTION 4. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS RF CIRCUITS • 2ND IF AND DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS IC170 is an IF demodulate IC which contains the 2nd local The RF circuits consist of RF filters, antenna switch (ANT oscillator, 2nd mixer, limiter and quadrature detector in its SW), RF amplifi...
4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS TX AF CIRCUITS TX AMPLIFIERS AF signal from the microphone (MIC signals) is passed The frequency-modulated signal from the VCO (Q21, Q22, through the MIC mute SW (IC260A), amplifi ed by MIC AMP D22) is passed through the buffers (Q23 and Q24) and LO (IC200B), and then applied to the D/A converter (IC190), SW (D50), and then sequentially amplified by the buffer through another MIC mute SW (IC260C).
4-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS While transmitting, the oscillatinon frequency of VCO (Q21, Q22, D22) is determined by the value of D22, L22, C26 and IC1 is a PLL IC which contains the prescaler, programmable C27, and the frequency modulation is carried out by adding counter, phase comparator and charge pump in its package.
