PLL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
Most Citizens Band Transceivers in the past used Frequency
Synthesizers utilizing 12 or more quartz crystals to gener-
ate the various radio signals for receiving and transmitting
the assigned CB channels. The frequency stability of each
channel, when receiving or transmitting, was dependent
largely upon the crystals used to generate the frequencies
for that channel. The frequency accuracy and stability of
one channel was often better than another.
Citizens Band transceivers of recent design, such as the
transceiver you have purchased, utilize the most advanced
design of frequency synthesizers called Phase Locked Loop
(PLL) Frequency Synthesizers. These synthesizers utilize
a minimal number of crystals as reference frequencies from
which transmitting and receiving frequencies are developed.
The transmitting and receiving frequencies are stabilized
by phase comparing to the reference frequency and thus pro-
viding a phase-locked loop.
There are several types of PLL circuits in use; the one your
transceiver uses incorporates the best features of these de-
signs. Your transceiver uses crystal controlled standards
with digital type programmable frequency dividers for selec-
tion of the channel frequencies, which are always locked to
the reference frequency. If for any reason the PLL is not
"locked" the transmitter will not transmit.

SECTION II , INSTALLATION
A. Mobile Station
CAREFULLY READ
ALL INSTALLATION INFORMATION IN THIS MAN-
UAL BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL THE
TRANSCEIVER IN A
VEHICLE OR AS A BASE STATION.
1. Location
a)
Locate the transceiver under the dash or on the
hump of the vehicle. DO NOT POSITION ON TOP OF
THE DASH OR
ANY LOCATION THAT WILL
INTERFERE
WITH THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.
b) Use the VEHICLE
MOUNTING BRACKET as a template
to locate and mark the mounting holes. Refer
to fig. 1 for identification of the mounting
hardware.
c)
Position the transceiver in the mounting brack-
et for best view and accessibility to the front
panel controls.
2. Power Connections
a)
CAUTION: Be sure the transceiver
POWER SWITCH
is in the OFF position before making any con-
nections to the power source. ROTATE THE VOL-
UME CONTROL FULLY TO THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE POSI-
TION.
b)
The transceiver has a polarity reversal protec-
tion diode across the power input circuit. If
the polarity of the power source is reversed,
the fuse in the positive power lead will burn
out. CHECK CAREFULLY THE POLARITY OF THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE TRANSCEIVER.
c)
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A FUSE OF GREATER
AMPERAGE THAN 1.5 AMPERES BE USED TO REPLACE A
BURNED OUT FUSE. ALSO, NEVER BYPASS THE FUSE
WITH A JUMPER WIRE. IN EITHER CASE SEVERE DAM-
AGE WILL RESULT TO THE TRANSCEIVER AND VOID THE
WARRANTY.
