INTRODUCTION
The TS-830s 1s a dual conversion transceiver using two in-
termediate frequencies, 8.83 MHz and 455 kHz. However.
this differs from transceivers of the 'socalled Colllns type(such
as the TS-520) in that the bandwidth of both intermediate
frequencies
IS
narrowed for perforrr~ingVBT operation
Therefore, the TS-830s can basically be considered a single
conversion transcelver wlth an 8.83 MHz IF
Operation of the transmitter is opposite In process to the
receiver AN SSB signal generated at 455 kHz

RECEIVER CIRCUIT
The signal comlng from the antenna is routed through step-
up antenna coil via an RF ATT switch and IF trap. MOS FET
(Q1 3SK73) amplifies this slgnal Approximately 9 dB of
negatlve feedback is applied to -the RF amplifier to reduce
nolse and expand the amplifiers range of linear
operation
The signal passes through a buffer amplifier (Q2 2SK125)
and is m~xedwith the PLL VCO output by a balanced mixer
((23, Q4 2SK125) The signal is now converted to the first
lntermedlate frequency, 8.83 MHz. Entering the IF unit, this
signal is amplif~edby Q1 (2SK125),passes through ceramic
filter CF1 and the NB gatlng circult, and is applled to crystal
filter XF1 whose center frequency is 8.83 MHz. The signal
leaving the crystal filter is mixed wlth the VBT local oscillator
output at 8.375 MHz by a balanced mixer (Q2,03 3SK73)
where it
IS
converted to the second Intermediate frequency,
455
kHz. The signal then passes through ceramic filter CF2
whose center frequency is 455 kHz, and is amplified by 04
(3SK73) It then
IS
fed to the notch circuit, Q5 through Q7
(2SC1815) After being amplified by Q8 (3SK73), it is
demodulated to an audio srgnal by the product detector
(D20--D23, IN60 X4)
In the AF unit, the audio s~gnal is amplified by Q3
(2SC2240), passes through the AF GAIN control and after
belng arnpllf~edby the power amplif~erQ4 (HA1368R).

(Q28 3SK73) converts thls to an 8.83 MHz SSB signal
After passing the 8.83 MHz crystal filter and being amplified
by Q29 (3SK73),the signal is applied to the second transmit
mixer in the RF unit. This. double balanced mixer (Q6,
Q7 3SK73), mlxes the slgnal with the PLL VCO output to
convert to the final Transmlt frequency Output is amplif~ed
by the driver tube (V1 12BY7A)and then by the final power
amplifier (two 6146B's) and is applied to the antenna via
a
