4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
4-1-1 RF ATTENUATOR CIRCUIT
The attenuator circuit attenuates the signal strength to
approx. 20 dB to protect the RF amplifier from distortion
when excessively strong signals are received.
The RF signals from the antenna connector are passed
through or bypass the “L” type attenuator (R1, R3). The sig-
nals are then applied to the RF filter circuit.
4-1-2 RF FILTER CIRCUIT
The applied signals pass through either the low-pass filter or
the high-pass filter circuits via the band switching diodes.
• RF signals below 50 MHz
The RF signals below 50 MHz are passed through the low-
pass filter (L1, L2, C7–C11) via the band switching diode
(D2). The filtered signals are applied to the HF RF circuit.
• RF signals above 50 MHz
The RF signals above 50 MHz are applied to the high-pass
filter (L172, C477, C478) after passing through the band
switching diode (D4). The filtered signals are then applied to
the VHF/UHF RF circuit.
4-1-3 HF RF CIRCUIT
The HF RF circuit amplifies the received signals within the
range 0.01–50 MHz and filters out-of-band signals.
The HF RF circuit consists of three low-pass filters, three
high-pass filters and one RF amplifier.
The filtered signals below 1.8 MHz from the RF filter circuit
are passed through the low-pass filter (L3, L4, C14–C16)
between the band swithing diodes (D6, D35), and are then
applied to the 1st mixer circuit (IC4) directly.
The 1.8–14.999 MHz signals pass through the low-pass fil-
ter (L6, L7, C21–C25) and high-pass filter (L8, L9,
C26–C30) between the band switching diodes (D3, D7), and
are then applied to the 1st mixer circuit after being amplified
at the RF amplifier (Q12).
The 15–29.999 MHz signals pass through the low-pass filter
(L10, L11, C33–C37) and high-pass filter (L11, L12,
C38–C42) between the band switching diodes (D90, D91),
and are then applied to the 1st mixer circuit via the RF ampli-
fier circuit (Q12).
The 30–49.999 MHz signals pass through the high-pass fil-
ter (L14, L15, C45–C49) between the band switching diodes
(D8, D5), and are then applied to the 1st mixer circuit via the
RF amplifier circuit (Q12).
• Filters
4-1-4 VHF/UHF RF CIRCUIT
The VHF/UHF RF circuit amplifies the received signals with-
in the range 50–1300 MHz and filters out-of-band signals.
The VHF/UHF RF circuit consists of 4 bands of filter circuits
with an RF amplifier for each.
The 50–149.999 MHz signals from the RF filter pass through
high-pass filter (D11, L17, C53–C55, D12, D82, D83, L18,
C57) via the band switching diode (D10), and are then
amplified at the RF amplifier (Q8) between the tunable
bandpass filters (D13, D80, L19–L21, D14, D81, L23–L25).
The filtered signals are applied to the 1st mixer circuit (IC4)
via the band switching diode (D15).
For improving the characteristic of the bandpass filter circuit,
the shift switch (Q31) shifts the cut off frequency of the high-
pass filter (D12, D82, D83, L18, C57). The shift switch (Q31)
is controlled by the VCO 1 signal from the CPU (IC21).

The 150–349.999 MHz signals from the band switching
diode (D16) pass through the high-pass filter (L27–L29,
C69–C74) and tunable bandpass filter (D18, L31–L33), and
are then amplified at the RF amplifier (Q9) and pass through
another tunable bandpass filter (D19, L35–L37). The filtered
signals are applied to the 1st mixer circuit (IC4) via the band
switching diode (D20).
The 350–699.999 MHz signals from the band switching
diode (D21) pass through the high-pass filter (L40, C92–
C94) and tunable bandpass filter (D22, D23, L41, L42). The
filtered signals are then amplified at the RF amplifier (Q10)
and pass through the tunable bandpass filters (D24, D77,
L45–L47). The filtered signals are applied to the 1st mixer
circuit (IC4) via the band switching diode (D25).
The 700–1300 MHz signals from the band switching diode
(D26) pass through the high-pass filter (L141, C110, C606)
and 2-stage tunable bandpass filters (D27, D28, L163, D29,
D30, L51–L53). The filtered signals are then amplified at the
RF amplifier (Q11) and pass through the tunable bandpass
filters (D31, D32, L56, L178). The filtered signals are applied
to the 1st mixer circuit (IC4) via the band switching diode
(D33).
The tunable bandpass filters employ varactor diodes to tune
the center frequency of the RF passband for wide bandwidth
receiving and good image response rejection. These diodes
are controlled by TUNV signal from the CPU (IC21, pin 54)
via the tune controller (IC22b).
• Tunable bandpass filters
4-1-5 1ST MIXER CIRCUIT
The 1st mixer circuit converts the received RF signals into a
fixed frequency of the 1st IF signal with a PLL output fre-
quency. By changing the PLL frequency, only the desired
frequency will pass through the bandpass filters at the next
stage of the 1st mixer.
The filtered RF signals are mixed with 1st LO signals at the
1st mixer circuit (IC4) to produce a 266.7 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st IF signal is output from pin 5, and passed through
the bandpass filter (FI1) to suppress unwanted harmonic
components. The filtered 1st IF signal is applied to the IF cir-
cuit.
The 1st LO signals are generated at the VCO 1 (Q14, Q15)
or VCO 2 (Q18, Q19) circuit (according to the receiving fre-
quency band) and are amplified at the buffer amplifier
(IC26). The amplified signals are then applied to the 1st
mixer (IC4, pin 2) directly or passed through the divider cir-
cuit (IC6).
4-1-6 1ST IF AND 2ND MIXER CIRCUITS
The 2nd mixer circuit converts the 1st IF signal into a 2nd IF
signal.
The filtered 266.7 MHz 1st IF signal from the bandpass filter
(FI1) is amplified at the 1st IF amplifier (Q13) then mixed
with the 2nd LO signal at the 2nd mixer circuit (IC5) to pro-
duce a 10.7 MHz 2nd IF signal. The 2nd IF signal is passed
through either 2 bandpass filters (FI2 or FI3; depending on
the selected mode and bandwidth). The filtered 2nd IF sig-
nal is amplified at the IF amplifier (Q29), then applied to the
WFM demodulator or 3rd IF circuit.

4-1-7 3RD MIXER CIRCUIT
The 3rd mixer circuit mixes the 2nd IF signal and 3rd LO sig-
nal to produce a 450 kHz 3rd IF signal (except WFM mode).
The 10.7 MHz 2nd IF signal from the IF amplifier (Q29) is
applied to the 3rd mixer section in the FM IF IC (IC10, pin
16). The applied signal is mixed with a 3rd LO signal gener-
ated by X1 (10.25 MHz) to produce a 450 kHz 3rd IF signal.
The 3rd IF signal is output from pin 3, and passed through
one of 2 bandpass filters (FI6 or FI7) or bypassed, accord-
ing to the selected mode after being amplified at the IF
amplifier (Q38). The filtered or bypassed signal is applied to
the each demodulator circuit (except WFM mode).
• Bandpass filter selection
4-1-8 DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS
The demodulator circuit converts the 2nd IF signal into AF
signals. 3 separate demodulator circuits are employed for
each mode.
(1) WFM mode
The 10.7 MHz 2nd IF signal from the IF amplifier (Q29) is
applied to the WFM demodulator circuit (IC7, pin 1).
The IF signal is applied to the quadrature detector section
(IC7, pin 11) to demodulateAF signals.The demodulatedAF
signals are output from pin 14, 15, and are then applied to
the AF switch circuit.
(2) FM mode
The filtered or bypassed 3rd IF signal is applied to the quad-
rature detector section in the FM IF IC (IC10, pin 10) then
mixed with the signal generated by the discriminator (X2) to
demodulate AF signals. The AF signals are output from pin
9 and applied to the AF switch circuit via the high-pass filter
circuit (IC11).
(3) AM mode
The filtered 3rd IF signal from the one of 2 bandpass filters
(FI6 or FI7) is amplified at the IF and buffer amplifiers (Q42,
Q43). The amplified IF signal is applied to the AM detector
circuit (D63) to be converted intoAF signals, and theAF sig-
nals are applied to the AF switch circuit.
4-1-9 AF SWITCH CIRCUIT
The demodulated AF signals from the demodulator circuits
are applied to the AF switch (IC14). This consists of 4 ana-
log switches which are selected with a mode signal from the
CPU (IC21) via the I/O expander (IC3). The switchedAF sig-
nals are applied to the AF circuit.
4-1-10 AF CIRCUIT
The AF signals from the AF switch circuit are passed
through the AF mute switch and then amplified at the AF
power amplifier circuit.
The AF signals from the AF switch are applied to the elec-
tronic volume control circuit (IC23, pin 1). The level con-
trolledAF signals are output from pin 2 and applied to theAF
power amplifier (IC25, pin 6). The power amplified AF sig-
nals are applied to the internal speaker via the [EXT SP]
jack.
The electronic volume control circuit controlsAF gain, there-
fore, the AF output level varies according to the [VOL] set-
ting and also the squelch conditions.
4-1-11 SQUELCH CIRCUIT
A squelch circuit cuts out AF signals when no RF signal is
received or when the S-meter signal is lower than the
[SQUELCH] control setting level. By detecting noise compo-
nents in the AF signals, the CPU controls the electronic vol-
ume control circuit.
• NOISE SQUELCH
Some noise components in the AF signals from pin 9 of the
FM IF IC (IC10) are applied to the noise amplifier section in
the IC (IC10, pin 8). The amplified signals are output from
pin 7. The output signals are applied to the noise and buffer
amplifiers (Q58, Q59) and rectified at the noise detector
(D89) to be converted into DC voltage, then applied to the
CPU (IC21, pin 60) as an NOIN signal.

• S-METER SQUELCH
The S-meter signal is applied to the CPU from the meter
amplifier circuit (IC13a) via the SMAD line, and also the S-
meter squelch setting level is applied to the CPU. The CPU
compares these signals, then outputs a control signal to the
electronic volume control circuit (IC23) to cut outAF signals.
4-1-12 AUTOMATIC NOISE LIMITER CIRCUIT
The ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) circuit (D62, Q44,
R381–R384) reduces pulse noises. The ANL function acti-
vates only when AM mode is selected.
The AM detector output signal from D63 is applied to the
cathode of D62 passing through R381 where it is divided by
R381 and R382. The signal is also applied to the anode of
D62, passing through R383 and R384.
When the ANL function is activated (Q44 is ON), C375 is
grounded. The detector output, including pulse noise, is
applied to the cathode of D62 only. If pulse noises are
received, the cathode voltage of D62 becomes higher than
the anode voltage and D62 turns OFF. Thus, while pulse
noises are received, the detected signal is not applied to the
AF switch(IC14).
4-1-13 AGC CIRCUIT
The AGC (Auto Gain Control) circuit reduces IF amplifier
gain to keep the audio output at a constant level.
An RSSI signal is used for AGC function from the WFM IF
IC (IC7, pin 20) while in WFM mode, or used from the FM IF
IC (IC10, pin 12) while in FM, AM (except WFM) mode.
The RSSI output signal is amplified at the AGC amplifier
(Q33) during WFM operation. In other modes, the RSSI sig-
nal is amplified at the AGC amplifier (Q45), and passes
through the time constant circuit (Q46, Q47, R284, R290,
R291, C372, C373, C905) and is then applied to the IF
amplifiers (Q13, Q39). The AGC control signal is applied to
the VHF/UHF tunable bandpass filters after being amplified
at the VHF/UHF AGC amplifier (IC13b).
AGC speed is controlled by changing the time constant at
the AGC control line with resistors (R284, R290, R291) and
capacitors (C372, C373, C905). R290 and C372 are used
for AGC slow, and R284 and C905 are used for AGC fast
mode’s time constant. However, R291 and C373 are con-
nected to the AGC control line while scanning to obtain the
fastest AGC response.
4-1-14 S-METER CIRCUIT
The S-meter circuit indicates the relative received signal
strength while receiving and changes depending on the
received signal strength.
A portion of the AGC signal is applied to the meter amplifier
circuit (IC13a). The amplified signal is then applied to the
CPU (IC21, pins 64) as an SMAD signal to drive the S-
meter.
The SMAD signal is also used for noise and S-meter
squelch operation by comparison with the [SQUELCH] con-
trol setting level and received signal strength at the CPU.
4-2 PLL CIRCUITS
4-2-1 GENERAL
The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the 1st and 2nd
local frequencies. The PLL circuit consists of the PLL IC,
charge pump, loop filter and reference oscillator and
employs a pulse swallow counter.
4-2-2 1ST LO LOOP
The 1st LO circuit generates the 1st LO frequencies, and the
signals are applied to the 1st mixer circuit.
The generated signal from VCO 1 (Q14, Q15) or VCO 2
(Q18, Q19) is applied to the prescaler section in the PLL IC
(IC8, pin 8) after being amplified at the buffer amplifiers
(IC26, Q27). The applied signal is prescaled in the PLL IC
based on the divided ratio (N-data) to produce approx. 50
kHz signals which are applied to the phase detector section.
The generated reference signal from the reference oscillator
(X5; 12.8 MHz) is applied to the programmable divider sec-
tion in the PLL IC (IC8, pin 1). The applied signal is
prescaled in the PLL IC based on the divided ratio (1/256) to
produce approx. 50 kHz phase signals. The reference phase
signals are applied to the phase detector section.
The phase detector section compares 2 of the applied
phase signals. The phase detected signals are passed
through the charge pump section and then output from pin 4
of the PLL IC. The output signals are applied to the loop fil-
ter circuit (Q25, Q26) to be converted into DC voltage as a
PLL lock voltage. The lock voltage is applied to the CPU
(IC22, pin 61) via the buffer amplifer (Q24) as an L1AD sig-
nal to control the VHF/UHF tunable bandpass filter.

4-2-3 2ND LO LOOP
The 2nd LO circuit generates the 2nd LO frequencies, and
the signals are applied to the 2nd mixer circuit.
The generated signal at the VCO 3 (Q34) enters the PLL IC
(IC8, pin 13) via the buffer amplifier (Q35), is divided ath the
programmable divider seiction and is then applied to the
phase detector section.
The phase detector compares the input signal with a refer-
ence frequency, and then outputs the out-of-phase signal
(pulse-type signals) from pin17
The pulse-type signal is converted into DC voltage (lock
voltage) at the loop filter (Q36, Q37), and then applied to the
VCO 3 to stabilize the oscillated frequency.
