PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The
PRO
-34
is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) syntheslzed VHF
/UHF
FM
receiver, controll
ed
by a
CPU
(centraI processing unit) via a keyboard.
The V
HF
Lo band
(30
"'-'54 MHz) or VHF
Hi
band
(136.005
"'-'174 MHz) is received
in
5 kHz increments
and
the U
HF
. Lo band
(380
"'-'5
12
MHz)
or
UHF
Hi
band
(806
"'-'960 MHz) is set up to be
12.5
kHz
increm
en
ts.. Similarly, the alrcra
ft
band
(108
"'-'136 MHz) is in a 25 kHz step.
All functions such as receivlng frequency range,frequency determination,scanning and delay time etc.
are con
tr
olled by the CPU. The
CPU
is able to do only the assigned tunetlens. and no modl
ficat
ion of the
CPU
is feasible.

Avaractor (variabie capac

("A

on
all Bands.
Fie
ld-eff
ect transistors (FET) are used in the RF/MIX circuits
of
low and high Bands, to achieve optim
um
mix-modulation and rnutual-rnodulatlon characteristics.

.The

in

The detected output
of
the FM Is applied
to
IC9. IC9 ampllfles the au

•
IC1
is the
CPU
.The
CPU
does data processing, calculation etc. Any unstable supply voltage
(VDD)
to
the
CPU
can cause the
CPU
to
get mal-functloned, such as wrong data processing, wrong data transfer etc.

The unit has battery-saving control circuit in manual mode. When the unit is in operation,the pin 74 of
IC1
(C
PU)
is
"H"
and
03
is
ON.
If no signaI input or no key input exlsted more than 5seconds in
ma
nual
mode
with the
SO
UELCH on, the pin
74
becomes
"L"
(Fig.

and
03
turns
off
then the power supply for
most
of
circ
uit is shut down (except
CP

The initialization
of
