SECTION 4 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
4-1-1 ANTENNA SWITCHING CIRCUIT
The antenna switching circuit toggles the receive line and
the transmit line. This circuit does not allow transmit signals
to enter the receiver circuits.
Received signals from the antenna connector (CHASSIS
UNIT; J1) are passed through a two-stage low-pass filter
(LPF; L22, L23, C204–C207, C209) and applied to the λ/4
type antenna switching circuit (D12, D22).
While receiving, no voltage is applied to D12 and D22.
Thus, the receive line and the ground are disconnected and
L41, L42, C199–C202 function as a two-stage LPF which
leads received signals to the RF circuits via the limiter (D20, D21).
4-1-2 RF CIRCUITS
The RF circuits amplify received signals within the range of
frequency coverage and filters off out-of-band signals.
The signals from the antenna switching circuit are passed
through the two-stage tunable bandpass filters (BPF; D18,
D19, L38, L39, C191, C193, C194, C197, C232, C233) to
suppress unwanted signals. The filtered signals are ampli-
fied at the RF amplifier (Q18).
The amplified signals are passed through another two-
stage tunable BPF (D15, D16, L49, L52–L55, C171, C173,
C174, C176) to suppress unwanted signals again. The fil-
tered signals are then applied to the 1st IF circuit.
4-1-3 1st IF CIRCUITS
The 1st mixer circuit converts the received signals into fixed
frequency of the 1st intermediate frequency (IF) signal
by mixing with the local oscillator (LO) signals which con-
trolled by the PLL circuit. The IF is shifted by changing LO
frequency to track the receive signal. The converted 1st IF
signal is filtered at the 1st IF filter, then amplified at the 1st
IF amplifier.
The signals from the two-stage tunable BPF are converted
into the 46.35 MHz 1st IF signal at the double-balanced
type 1st mixer (IC14, L30, L31, L33) by being mixed with
the 1st LO signal generated at the RX VCOs (Q4, D4, D5,
D24, D26 or Q20, D27 to D30).
The 1st IF signal from the 1st mixer is passed through the
crystal filter (FI3) to suppress unwanted signals, and then
amplified at the 1st IF amplifier (Q17). The amplified 1st IF
signal is applied to the FM IF IC (IC3, pin 16).
4-1-4 2nd IF AND FM DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS
The 1st IF signal is converted into the 2nd IF signal and
demodulated at the detector section in the FM IF IC. The
FM IF IC contains 2nd mixer, limiter amplifier, quadrature
detector, etc. in its package.
The 1st IF signal from the 1st IF amplifier (Q17) is applied
to the mixer section in FM IF IC (IC3, pin 16). The applied
1st IF signal is mixed with the 45.9 MHz 2nd LO signal gen-
erated by tripling the 15.3 MHz PLL reference frequency to
be converted into the 450 kHz 2nd IF signal.
The 2nd IF signal from the mixer section is output from pin
3 and passed through the N/W switches (D13, D14) and
ceramic filter (FI1 or FI2) to suppress the heterodyne noise.
The N/W switches (D13, D14) toggle the receive mode
wide and narrow according to “NWC” signal from the CPU
(IC307, pin 19). FI1 is used for wide, and FI2 is used for
narrow mode operation.
The filtered signal is applied to IC3 (pin 5) again, and
amplified at the limiter amplifier section and demodulated
by the quadrature detector.

The quadrature detector is a detection method which uses a
ceramic discriminator (X2).
The demodulated AF signals are output from pin 9, and
applied to the AF cricuits.
4-1-5 AF CIRCUITS
The demodulated AF signals from the FM IF IC are ampli-
fied and filtered at AF circuit. This transceiver employs the
base band IC for audio signal processing for both transmit
and receive. The base band IC is an audio processor and
composed of pre-amplifier, compressor, expander, scram-
bler, etc. in its package.
The AF signals from FM IF IC (IC3, pin 9) are applied to the
base band IC (IC301, pin 23) via the digital/analog switch
(IC302, pins 12, 14).
The applied AF signals are amplified at the amplifier section
and level adjusted at the volume control section, and then
suppressed unwanted 3 kHz and higher audio signals at
LPF section. The filtered AF signals are applied or bypassed
the TX/RX HPF, scrambler, de-emphasis, sections in
sequence, then applied to another volume controller.
The TX/RX HPF filters out 250 Hz and lower audio signals,
and the de-emphasis obtains –6 dB/oct of audio character-
istics. The expander expands the compressed audio signals
and also noise reduction function is provided.
The AF signals are level adjusted at the volume controller
and amplified at the amplifier section. The amplified AF sig-
nals are output from pin 20 and applied to the D/A coverter
(IC303, pin 16) to be adjusted its level, and then applied to
the FRONT UNIT via J3 (pin 28).
The level controlled AF signals from the MAIN UNIT are
passed through the mute switch (FRONT UNIT; IC205,
pins 1, 3) and applied to the AF power amplifier (IC201,
pin 4: FRONT UNIT) to obtain 500 mW of AF output power.
The power amplified AF signals are applied to the internal
speaker (CHASSIS UNIT; SP1).
4-1-6 SQUELCH CIRCUITS
• NOISE SQUELCH
Noise squelch circuit mutes AF output signals when no RF
signals are received. By detecting noise components in the
demodulated AF signals, the squelch circuit switches the
AF mute swithch and AF power amplifier controller ON and
OFF.
A portion of the demodulated AF signals from the FM IF IC
(IC3, pin 9) are applied to the converter (IC303, pin 1) to
be adjusted its level. The level controlled signals are output
from pin 2 and applied to the active filter (IC3, pins 7, 8;
R74, R75, R77 C137–C139). The filtered signals are applied
to the filter amplifier section to amplify the noise components
only.
The amplified noise components are converted into the
pulse-type signal at the noise detector section, and output
from pin 13 as the “NOIS” signal and applied to the CPU
(IC307, pin 37). Then the CPU outputs “AFON” signal from
pin 18 according to the “NOIS” signal level to toggle the AF
mute circuit (FRONT UNIT; IC205) and AF amplifier control-
ler (FRONT UNIT; Q202, Q203) ON/OFF.
• CTCSS AND DTCS
The tone squelch circuit detects tone signals and opens the
squelch only when receiving a signal containing a matched
sub audible tone (CTCSS or DTCS). When the tone squelch
is in use, and a signal with a mismatched or no sub audible
tone is received, the tone squelch circuit mutes the AF sig-
nals even when the noise squelch is open.
A portion of the demodulated AF signals are passed through
the LPF (IC12, pins 12, 14) to filters CTCSS/DTCS signal.
The filtered signal is applied to the CPU (IC307, pin 46)
after being amplified at the buffer amplifier (IC2, pins 1, 3).
The CPU compares the applied signal and the set CTCSS/
DTCS, then output the AF mute switch (IC205) AF amplifier
controller (Q202, Q203) control signal from pin 18.

4-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
4-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT
The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies the audio signals
from microphone within +6 dB/oct pre-emphasis characteris-
tic. The microphone signals are processed in the base band
IC which contains microphone amplifier, compressor, scram-
bler, limiter, splatter filter, etc. in its package.
The audio signals from the microphone (FRONT UNIT;
MC201) are passed through the microphone mute switch
(FRONT UNIT; IC204). The switched signals are amplified at
the microphone amplifiers (FRONT UNIT; IC203, pins 1, 2,
13, 14) to obtain within +6 dB/oct pre-emphasis characteris-
tics. The amplified signals are applied to the MAIN UNIT via
J1 (pin 2).
The amplified MIC signals from the FRONT UNIT are
applied to the base band IC (IC301, pin 3). The applied
MIC signals are amplified at the amplifier section, and level
adjusted at the volume control section. The level adjusted
MIC signals are applied or bypassed the compressor sec-
tion, pre-emphasis section, TX/RX HPF, de-scrambler, lim-
iter, splatter, in sequence, then applied to another volume
controller.
The compressor compresses the MIC signals to provide
high S/N ratio for receive side, and the pre-emphasis obtains
+6 dB/oct audio characteristics. The TX/RX HPF filters out
250 Hz and lower audio signals, the limiter limits its level
and the splatter filters out 3 kHz and higher audio signals.
The filtered MIC signals are level adjusted at another vol-
ume control section and amplified at the amplifier section,
and then output from pin 7 via smoothing section (SMF).
4-2-2 MODULATION CIRCUIT
The modulation circuit modulates the VCO oscillating signal
with the audio signals from the microphone.
MIC signals from the base band IC (IC301) are passed
through the MIC switch (IC302, pins 5, 4), PM filter (C338,
R327), FM/PM switch (IC302, pins 1, 15), and then applied
to the AF mixer (IC12, pin 2) to be mixed with CTCSS/DTCS
signals.
The mixed MIC signals are applied to the D/A converter
(IC303, pin 4) to be adjusted its level. The level adjusted AF
signals are output from pin 3 and applied to the modulation
circuit (D8) to modulate the VCO oscillating signal by chang-
ing the reactance of D8 at the TX VCO (Q5, D6, D7, D25).
The CTCSS/DTCS signals are generated by the CPU (IC307)
and output from pins 89–91 (“CENC0,” “CENC1,” ”CENC2”).
The CTCSS/DTCS signals are passed through 3 regis-
ters (R374–R376) to change its wave form. The wave form
changed CTCSS/DTCS signals are then passed through the
LPF (IC12, pins 8, 10) and applied to the converter (IC303,
pin 9) to be adjusted its level, and output from pin 10.
The level adjusted CTCSS/DTCS signals are applied to
the AF mixer (IC12, pin 2) to be mixed with MIC signals.
The mixed CTCSS/DTCS signals are output from pin 1 and
applied to the D/A converter (IC303, pin 4) to be adjusted its
level again, then output from pin 3. The CTCSS/DTCS sig-
nals from the D/A converter are applied to the both of refer-
ence frequency oscillator (X1) and modulation circuit (D8) to
modulate the reference frequency signal and VCO oscillating
signal.
The modulated VCO output signal is amplified at the buffer
amplifiers (Q6, Q10) and is then applied to the YGR ampli-
fier (Q11) via the TX/RX switch (D10).
4-2-3 TRANSMIT AMPLIFIERS
The VCO output signal is amplified to transmit output power
level by the transmit amplifiers .
The buffer-amplified signal from the TX/RX switch is applied
to the YGR (Q11), the driver (Q12), and power (Q13)
amplifiers, to be amplified to the transmit output power level.
The power amplified transmit signal is passed through the
power detector (D11), antenna switch (D12), and two-stage
LPFs (L22, L23, C204–C207, C209), and then applied to the
antenna connector (CHASSIS UNIT; J1).
4-2-4 ALC CIRCUIT
The ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit stabilizes transmit
output power and controls transmit output power High or Low.
The power detector circuit (D11) detects the transmit output
signal and converts it into DC voltage.
The detected voltage is applied to the ALC amplifier (IC5,
pin 3). The “T2” signal from the D/A converter (IC310, pin
2), controlled by the CPU (IC307), is applied to the another
input (pin 1) for reference, and the "T2" signal also controls
transmit output power (5 W or 1 W).
The output voltage from the ALC amplifier controls the bias
of the YGR (Q11), driver (Q12) and power amplifier (Q13) to
reduce the output power by comparing the detected voltage
and the reference voltage. Thus the ALC circuit maintains a
constant transmit output power.

4-3 PLL CIRCUITS
4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)
The PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit
frequency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL circuit
compares the phase of the divided VCO frequency with the
reference frequency. The PLL output frequency is controlled
by the divided ratio (N-data) of the programmable divider.
The PLL circuit contains the two RX VCOs (Q4, D4, D5,
D24, D26 for 154–174 MHz, Q20, D27–D30 for 136–
153.995 MHz) and one TX VCO (Q5, D6, D7, D25). The
oscillated signal is amplified at the buffer amplifiers (Q6, Q9)
and applied to the PLL IC (IC1, pin 6) after being passed
through the BPF (Q1, D1, D2, L2, L56, L57, L302, C12,
C15, C20, C22, C25–C28, C32).
Q1, D1 and D2 compose of a BPF switch which toggles the
filtering frequencies for TX and RX, controlled by “T5C” sig-
nal from the CPU (IC307 pin 16).
The applied signal is divided at the prescaler and program-
mable divider section by the N-data ratio from the CPU.
The divided signal is detected at the phase detector sec-
tion via divided ratio adjustment section using the reference
frequency passed through the reference divider and output
from pin 4 after being passed through the charge pump sec-
tion. The output signal is passed through the loop filter (R16,
R17, C17, C24, C29, C31) and is then applied to the VCO
circuits.
If the oscillated signal drifts, its phase changes from that of
the reference frequency, causing a lock voltage change to
compensate for the drift in the oscillated frequency.
4-3-2 VCO CIRCUITS
The VCO circuits contain separate two RX VCOs (Q4, D4,
D5, D24, D26 for 154–174 MHz, Q20, D27–D30 for 136–
153.995 MHz) and one TX VCO (Q5, D6, D7, D25). The
oscillated signal is amplified at the buffer amplifiers (Q6,
Q10) and is then applied to the TX/RX switch (D9, D10).
Then the receive 1st LO (RX) signal is applied to the 1st
mixer (IC14, L30, L31, L33), and the transmit (TX) signal is
applied to the YGR amplifier (Q11).
