CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION DR-135/DR-235/DR-435
1) Receiver System (DR-135)
The receiver system is a double superheterodyne system with a 21.7 MHz first IF and a 450 kHz second IF.
1. Front End The received signal at any frequency in the 136.000MHz to 173.995MHz range
is passed through the low-pass filter (L116, L115, L114, L113, C204, C203,
C202, C216 and C215) and tuning circuit (L105, L104 and D105, D104), and
amplified by the RF amplifier (Q107).The signal from Q107 is then passed
through the tuning circuit (L103, L102, and varicaps D103 and D102) and
converted into 21.7 MHz by the mixer (Q106).The tuning circuit, which
consists of L105, L104, varicaps D105 and D104, L103, L102, varicaps
D103andD102,iscontrolledbythe trackingvoltageform theVCO.Thelocalsignal
from theVCO is passed through the buffer (IC112), and supplied to the source of
the mixer (Q106).The radio uses the lower side of the superheterodyne system.
2. IF Circuit The mixer mixes the received signal with the local signal to obtain the sum of
and difference between them.The crystal filter (XF102, XF101) selects 21.7
MHz frequency from the results and eliminates the signals of the unwanted
frequencies.The first IF amplifier (Q105) then amplifies the signal of the selected
frequency.
3. Demodulator Circuit After the signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier (Q105), it is input to pin 24 of
the demodulator IC (IC108).The second local signal of 21.25 MHz (shared
with PLL IC reference oscillation), which is oscillated by the internal oscillation
circuit in IC116 and crystal (X103), is input through pin 1 of IC108.Then, these
two signals are mixed by the internal mixer in IC108 and the result is converted
into the second IF signal with a frequency of 450 kHz.The second IF signal is
output from pin 3 of IC108 to the ceramic filter (FL101 or FL102), where the
unwanted frequency band of that signal is eliminated, and the resulting signal
is sent back to the IC108 through pins 5.
The second IF signal input via pin 5 is demodulated by the internal limiter
amplifier and quadrature detection circuit in IC108, and output as an audio
signal through pin 12.
4. Audio Circuit The audio signal from pin 12 of IC108 is amplified by the audio amplifier
(IC104:A),and switched by the signal switch IC (IC111) and then input it to the
de-emphasis circuit.
and is compensated to the audio frequency characteristics in the de-emphasis
circuit (R203, R207, R213, R209, C191, C218, C217) and amplified by the AF
amplifier(IC104:D).Thesignal is then input to volume(VR1) .The adjusted signal is
sent to the audio power amplifier (IC117) through pin 1 to drive the speaker.

5. Squelch Circuit The detected output which is outputted from the pin 12 of IC108 is inputted to
pin 19 of IC108 after it was been amplified by IC104:A and it is outputted from
pin 20 after the noise component was been eliminated from the composed
band pass filter in the built in amplifier of the IC, then the signal is rectified by
D106 to convert into DC component.The adjusted voltage level at VR101 is
delivered to the comparator of the CPU.
The voltage is led to pin 2 of CPU and compared with the setting voltage. The
squelch will open if the input voltage is lower than the setting voltage.
During open squelch, pin 30 (SQC) of the CPU becomes "L" level, AF control
signal is being controlled and sounds is outputted from the speaker.)
6. AIR Band Reception(T only)
When the frequency is within 118~135.995MHz, Q110 automatically turns ON,
pin 14 of IC108 becomes "L" level and the condition becomes in AM detection
mode.
The receiver signal passed through the duplexer is let to the antenna switch
(D107,D101).After passing through the band-pass filter, the signal is amplified
by RF amplifier Q112.Secondly the signal is mixed with the signal from the first
local oscillator in the first-mixer Q106,then converted into the first IF.Its unwanted
signalis letto IC106,pin24.Then converted intothe secondIF.and is demodulated
by AM decoder of IC106, and is output from pin13 as the AF signal.
7.WIDE/NARROW switching circuit
The 2nd IF 450 kHz signal which passes through filter FL101 (wide) and FL102
(narrow) during narrow, changes its width using the width control switching
IC103 and IC102.
2) Transmitter System (DR-135)
1. Modulator Circuit The audio signal is converted to an electrical signal by the microphone, and

mic-mute control IC109 is adjusted to an appropriate mic-volume by means of
mic-gain adjustVR106.
IC114:A and B consists of two operational amplifiers;one amplifier (pins 1, 2,
and 3) is composed of pre-emphasis and IDC circuits and the other (pins 5, 6,
and 7) is composed of a splatter filter.The maximum frequency deviation is
obtained by VR107. and input to the signal switch (IC113) (9600 bps packet
signal input switch) and input to the cathode of the varicap of the VCO, to

to the antenna switch (D110) and low-pass filter (L113, L114, L115, L116,
C215, C216, C202, C203 and C204), where unwanted high harmonic waves
are reduced as needed, and the resulting signal is supplied to the antenna.
3. APC Circuit Part of the transmission power from the low-pass filter is detected by D111 and
D112, converted to DC.The detection voltage ispassed through the APC circuit

10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 50 kHz are used.When it is 6.25 kHz, the 12.5 kHz
channel step is used.
3. Phase Comparator Circuit
The PLL (IC116) uses the reference frequency, 5 or 6.25kHz.The phase
comparator in the IC116 compares the phase of the frequency from theVCO
with that of the comparison frequency, 5 or 6.25kHz, which is obtained by the
internal divider in IC116.
4. PLL Loop Filter Circuit
If a phase difference is found in the phase comparison between the reference
frequencyandVCO outputfrequency,the charge pump output (pin 13) of IC116

MHz frequency from the results and eliminates the signals of the unwanted
frequencies.The first IF amplifier (Q105) then amplifies the signal of the selected
frequency.
3. Demodulator Circuit After the signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier (Q105), it is input to pin 24 of
the demodulator IC (IC108).The second local signal of 30.395 MHz, which is

oscillator) is input pin 1 of IC108.Then, these two signals are mixed by the
internal mixer in IC108 and the result is converted into the second IF signal
with a frequency of 455 kHz.The second IF signal is output from pin 4 of IC108
to the ceramic filter (FL101 or FL102), where the unwanted frequency band of
that signal is eliminated, and the resulting signal is sent back to the IC108
through pins 6.
The second IF signal input via pin 6 is demodulated by the internal limiter
amplifier and quadrature detection circuit in IC108, and output as an audio
signal through pin 11.
4. Audio Circuit The audio signal from pin 11 of IC108 is amplified by the audio amplifier
(IC104:A), and switched by the signal switch IC (IC111) and then input it to the
de-emphasis circuit.
and is compensated to the audio frequency characteristics in the de-emphasis
circuit (R203, R207, R213, R209, C191, C218, C217) and amplified by the AF
amplifier (IC104:D).The signal is then input to volume (VR1) .The adjusted
signal is sent to the audio power amplifier (IC117) through pin 1 to drive the
speaker.

10
5. Squelch Circuit The detected output which is outputted from the pin 11 of IC108 is inputted to
pin 13 of IC108 after it was been amplified by IC104:A and it is outputted from
pin 14 after the noise component was been eliminated from the composed
band pass filter in the built in amplifier of the IC, then the signal is rectified by
D106 to convert into DC component.The adjusted voltage level at VR101 is
delivered to the comparator of the CPU.
The voltage is led to pin 2 of CPU and compared with the setting voltage. The
squelch will open if the input voltage is lower than the setting voltage.
During open squelch, pin 30 (SQC) of the CPU becomes "L" level, AF control
signal is being controlled and sounds is outputted from the speaker.
6.WIDE/NARROW switching circuit
The 2nd IF 455 KHz signal which passes through filter FL101 (wide) and FL102
(narrow) during narrow, changes its width using the width control switching
IC103 and IC102.
8)Transmitter System (DR-435)
1. Modulator Circuit The audio signal is converted to an electrical signal by the microphone, and
input it to the microphone amplifier (Q6). Amplified signal which passes through
mic.mute control IC109 is adjusted to an appropriate mic. volume by means of
mic.gain adjust VR106.
IC114:A and B consists of two operational amplifiers;one amplifier (pins 1, 2,
and 3) is composed of pre-emphasis and IDC circuits and the other (pins 5, 6,
and 7) is composed of a splatter filter.The maximum frequency deviation is
obtained by VR107. and input to the signal switch (IC113) (9600 bps packet
signal input switch) and input to the cathode of the varicap of the VCO, to
change the electric capacity in the oscillation circuit.This produces the frequency
modulation.
2. Power Amplifier Circuit
The transmitted signal is oscillated by theVCO, amplified by the drive amplifier
(Q131, Q125) and younger amplifier (Q115), and input to the final power module
(IC110).The signal is then amplified by the final power module (IC110) and led
to the antenna switch (D110) and low-pass filter (L116, L114, L115, C215,
C216, C202, C203 and C204), where unwanted high harmonic waves are
reduced as needed, and the resulting signal is supplied to the antenna.
3. APC Circuit Part of the transmission power from the low-pass filter is detected by D111 and
D112, converted to DC.The detection voltage is passed through the APC
circuit(Q118, Q117, Q116), then it controls the APC voltage supplied to the
younger amplifier Q115 and the final power module IC110 to fix the transmission
power.

11
9) PLL Synthesizer Circuit (DR-435)
1. PLL The dividing ratio is obtained by sending data from the CPU (IC1) to pin 2 and
sending clock pulses to pin 3 of the PLL IC (IC501).The oscillated signal from
the VCO is amplified by the buffer (Q503 and Q501) and input to pin 15 of
IC501.Each programmable divider in IC501 divides the frequency of the input
signalbyN according to thefrequencydata, to generatea comparisonfrequencyof
5 or 6.25 kHz.
2. Reference Frequency Circuit
The reference frequency appropriate for the channel steps is obtained by dividing
the 21.25 MHz reference oscillation (X103) by 4250 or 3400, according to the
data from the CPU (IC1).When the resulting frequency is 5 kHz, channel steps
of 5, 8.33, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 50 kHz are used.When it is 6.25 kHz, the 12.5
kHz channel step is used.
3. Phase Comparator Circuit
The PLL (IC501) uses the reference frequency, 5 or 6.25kHz.The phase
comparator in the IC501 compares the phase of the frequency from theVCO
with that of the comparison frequency, 5 or 6.25kHz, which is obtained by the
internal divider in IC501.
4. PLL Loop Filter Circuit
If a phase difference is found in the phase comparison between the reference
frequencyandVCO outputfrequency,the charge pump output (pin 13) of IC501
generates a pulse signal, which is converted to DC voltage by the PLL loop
filter and input to the varicap of the VCO unit for oscillation frequency control.
5. VCO Circuit A Colpitts oscillation circuit driven by Q502 directly oscillates the desired frequency.
The frequency control voltage determined in the CPU (IC1) and PLL circuit is
input to the varicaps (D502 and D503).This change the oscillation frequency,
which is amplified by theVCO buffer (Q503,504) and output from theVCO unit.
10) CPU and Peripheral Circuits (DR-135 DR-235 DR-435)
1. LCD Display Circuit The CPU turns ON the LCD via segment and common terminals with 1/4 the
duty and 1/3 the bias, at the frame frequency is 64Hz.

12
2. Dimmer Circuit The dimmer circuit makes the output of pin 13 of CPU (IC1) into "H" level at set
mode, so that Q9 and Q3 will turn ON to make the lamp control resistor R84
short and make its illumination bright. But on the other hand, if the dimmer
circuit makes pin 13 into "L" level, Q9 and Q3 will turn OFF, R84's illumination
will become dimmer as its hang on voltage falls down in the working LED (D11,
D2, D5, D3 and D6).
3. Reset and Backup When the power form the DC cable increases from Circuits 0V to 2.5 or more,
"H" level reset signal is output form the reset IC (IC4) to pin 33 of the CPU
(IC1), causing the CPU to reset.The reset signal, however, waits at 100, and
does not enter the CPU until the CPU clock (X1) has stabilized.
4. S(Signal) Meter Circuit
The DC potential of pin 16 of IC106 is input to pin 1 of the CPU (IC1), converted
from an analog to a digital signal, and displayed as the S-meter signal on the
LCD.
5. DTMF Encoder The CPU (IC1) is equipped with an internal DTMF encoder.The DTMF signal
is output from pin 10, through R35, R34 and R261 (for level adjustment), and
then through the microphone amplifier (IC114:A), and is sent to the varicap of
theVCO for modulation.At the same time, the monitoring tone passes through
the AF circuit and is output form the speaker.
6. Tone Encoder The CPU (IC1) is equipped with an internal tone encoder.The tone signal (67.0
to 250.3 Hz) is output from pin 9 of the CPU to the varicap (D122 and D123) of
theVCO for modulation.
7. DCS Encoder The CPU (IC1) is equipped with an internal DCS code encoder. The code
(023 to 754) is output from pin 9 of the CPU to the varicap (D124) of the
PLL reference oscillator.When DCS is ON, DCS MUTE circuit (Q126-ON,
Q133-ON, Q132-OFF) works. The modulation activates in X103 side only.
8. CTCSS, DCS Decoder
The voice band of the AF output signal from pin 1 of IC104:A is cut by sharp
active filter IC104:B and C (VCVS) and amplified, then led to pin 4 of CPU. The
input signal is compared with the programmed tone frequency code in the
CPU. The squelch will open when they match.During DCS, Q108 is ON, C156
is working and cut off frequency is lowered.

13
11) Power Supply Circuit
When power supply is ON, there is a "L" signal being inputted to pin 39 (PSW) of CPU which enables
the CPU to work.
Then, "H" signal is outputted from the pin 41 (C5C) of CPU and drives ON the power supply switch
control Q8 and Q7 which turns the 5VS ON.
5VS turns ON the PLL IC116, main power supply switch Q127 and Q122, AF POWER IC117 and the
8 V of AVR (IC115).
During reception, pin 29 (R5) of CPU outputs "H" level, Q124 is ON, and the reception circuits supplied by 8V.
While during transmission, pin 28 (T5) of CPU outputs "L" level which is reverse by Q11 so that the output
in Q128 will be "H" level, Q123 is ON, and the transmission circuit is supplied by 8V.
Or, in the case when the condition of PLL is UNLOCK, "H" level is outputted from pin 14 of IC106,
UNLOCK switch Q129is ON, transmission switch Q128 is OFF which makes the transmission to stop.
1. ACC External Power SupplyTerminal
When optional power supply cord DEC-37 etc.is connected to the external
power supply terminal JK101, with ACC power supply ON, switch Q101 will
turn ON, 5 V of AVR IC101 pin 2 (STB) becomes "L" which makes C5V to turn
ON.With this, it can turn the power supply of the radio ON.
