INSTALLATION
ANTENNA
CONSIDERATIONS
The
FT-480R
is
designed
for
operation
using
an
antenna
presenting
a
50
ohm
resistive
load.
The
automatic
final
transistor
protection
circuitry
will
reduce
the
power
output
to
protect
the
transistors
when
a
high
antenna
SWR
is
encountered.
The
SWR
on
the
antenna
should,
if
possible,
be
kept
below
1.5
:
1
at
all
times
to
secure
full
output
from
the
transceiver.
In
most
cases,
coverage
is
a
function
of
antenna
height.
The
antenna
for
base
station
operation
should
be
located
as
high
and
in
the
clear
as
possible.
Vertical
polarization
is
standard
for
FM
communications
in
most
areas,
so
be
sure
that
your
antenna
is
oriented
appropriately.
Popular
anten-
nas
for
base
station
use
include
the
5/8
wavelength
vertical
or
one
of
the
many
stacked
dipole
arrays.
For
accessing
repeaters
a
long
distance
away,
a
Yagi
or
other
high
gain
directional
array
may
be
required.
For
mobile
applications,
the
most
popular
anten-
nas
are
the
1/4
wavelength
vertical
and
the
5/8
wavelength
vertical,
which shows
approximately
3
dB
gain
over
the
1/4
wavelength
vertical.
Do
not
economize
on
coaxial
cable,
as
much
power
can
be
wasted
in
lossy
transmission
line.
For
mobile
use,
the
RG-58A/U
type
of
coax
may
be
used.
To
minimize
loss,
use
the
shortest
length
that
is
possible.
For
base
stations,
use
type
RG&A/
U
coaxial
cable.
For
very
long
runs,
type
RGI7A/U,
aluminum-jacketed
‘‘foamflex”
coax,
or
air
dielectric
“‘heliax”’
cable
may

OPERATION
The
all
solid-state
design
of
the
FT-480R
means
that
tuning
procedures
are
very
simple.
The
follow-
ing
paragraphs
will
describe
the
tuning
procedures
for
receiver
and
transmitter
operation.
INITIAL
CHECK
Before
connecting
the
transceiver
to
the
power
supply,
be
certain
that
a
fuse
of
the
proper
rating
is
in
use,
and
that
a
50
ohm
antenna
has
been
connected
to
the
antenna
jack.
FREQUENCY
SELECTION
USING
MAIN
DIAL
When
the
transceiver
is
initially
turned
on,
the
digital
display
will
read
the
preset
frequency
147.000.0
MHz,
and
frequency
control
will
be
via
the
main
tuning
dial.
After
memory,
scanning,
or
priority
operation,
pressing
the
DIL
button
will
return
control
to
the
main
dial.
Rotate
the
dial
to
secure
the
operating
frequency
desired.
Since
tun-
ing
steps
depend
on
the
combination
of
the
MODE
switch
and
STEP
switch
as
shown
in
Table
1,
use
the
synthesizer
step
for
easy
tuning.
When
the
upper
or
lower
bandedge
is
reached
the
next
synthesizer
step
will
automatically
be
to
the
opposite
bandedge.
Thus,
after
148.499.9
MHz,
the
next
step
is
143.500.0
MHz.
While
transmit-
ting,
the
operation
frequency
can
not
be
changed
in
any
operation
modes
except
the
satellite
mode.
RECEIVER

control
clockwise
to
turn
the
transceiver
on
and
adjust
for
a
comfortable
level.
(1)
SSB
mode
Using
the
main
tuning
dial,
tune
in
an
SSB
signal.
The
STEP
switch
should
be
set
to
M
or
F
position
so
that
you
can
secure
the
operating
frequency
desired
ir
100
Hz
or
|
kHz
steps.
When
you
get
close
to
the
desired
frequency,
set
the
STEP
switch
to
S
position
for
10
Hz
step
in
order
to
tune
in
the
signal
clearly.
When
pulse
type
noise
such
as
ignition
noise
is
encountered,
press
the
NB
(noise
blanker)
switch.
(2)
CW
mode
With
the
clarifier
off,
tune
in
a
CW
signal.
When
the
incoming
signal
is
tuned
to
a
beat
note
of
800
Hz,
your
transmit
frequency
will
coincide
with
that
of
the
other
station.
If
another
beat
note
is
desired,
or
if
the
other
station
drifts,
then
use
the
clarifier
function.
(3)
FM
mode
Using
the
main
tuning
control,
tune
in
an
FM
signal
for
a
maximum
and
steady
S-meter
reading
and
a
clear,
natural
voice
output
from
the
speaker.
Set
the
STEP
switch
to
the
M
(20
kHz)
position,
as
almost
all
FM
stations
use
20
kHz
steps.
When
you
change
the
operating
mode
from
SSB/CW
to
FM,
you
may
clear
the
display
and
operating
frequency
to
the
next
lowest
20
kHz
step
by
pressing
the
F
STEP
button.
All
the
digits
of
the
operating
frequency
below
10
kHz
will
be
set
to
zero
by
pressing
the
F.SET
button.
When
the
channel
is
clear,
rotate
the
SQL
control
to
the
point
where
the
background
noise
is
just
silenced.
Do
not
rotate
the
SQL
control
much
beyond
this
threshold
point,
or
else
the
receiver
will
not
respond
to
weak
signals.
The
BUSY/MOD
lamp
will
light
up
when
the
squelch
circuit
is
opened.
If
the
S-meter
wobbles,
or
if
it
is
impos-
sible
to
obtain
clear
audio,
it
is
possible
that
the
incoming
signal
is
on
another
mode
such
as
SSB.
TRANSMITTER
Before
transmission,
be
certain
that
the
frequency
on
which
you
are
going
to
operate
is
clear
to
prevent
interruption
of
the
other
station’s
opera-
tion.
It
is
important
that
an
antenna
or
dummy
load
be
connected
to
the
antenna
jack
at
all
times.
(1)
SSB
mode
Set
the
MODE
switch
to

will
light
up.
Since
the
semi-break-in
circuit
is
furnished,
when
the
key
is
closed,
your
keying
activates
the

and
you
will
be
operating
on
144.360.0
MHz.
(4)
Memory
channels
2,
3
and
4
may
be
program-
med
and
recalled
as
above.
(S)
When
you
push
the

the,
CLAR
switch
ON
will
lock
the
operating
frequency.
SCANNER
OPERATION
Fingertip
switches,
located
on
the
microphone.
allow
convenient
frequency
control,
while
driving.
The
simple
operating
procedure
is
described
below.
(1)
Set
the
bottom

will
be
activated.
To
stop
the
scan,
press
the
PTT
switch
or
one
of
the
scanning
controls
on
the

button.
(4)
In
the
FM
mode,
to
halt
the
scan
automatical-
ly
on
a
busy
channel,
set
the
bottom
panel
SCAN
switch
to
BUSY.
In
this
mode,
when
the
scanner
encounters
a

strong
enough
to
open
the
receiver
squelch,
scanning
will
stop.
When
the
bottom
panel
switch
is
placed
in
the
CLEAR
position,
the
scan
will
stop
when
a

The
scanning
rate
for
memory
scan
will
be
approximately
two
channels
per
second.
The
scan
may
be
halted
in
any
of
the
ways
discussed
previously.
The
BUSY
and
CLEAR
positions
of
the
SCAN
switch
are
particularly
helpful
when
scanning
the
memory
channels
in
the
FM
mode.

PRIORITY
CHANNEL
OPERATION
A
priority
channel
may
be
used
in
conjunction
with
a
memory
channel
for
increased
flexibility.
Here
is
how
to
set
up
the
FT-480R
for
priority
operation.
(1)
First
program
one
or
more
memory
channels
for
priority
use.
For
example,
store
144.640.0
MHz
into
memory
channel
|.
Set
the
bottom
panel
SCAN
switch
to
MAN.
Rotate
the
main
dial
to

will
indicate
144.360.0
P,
and
every
5
seconds
the
display
will
switch
to
144.640.0
MHz
allowing
you
to
check
it
for
activity.
(3)
If
you
have
other
frequencies
stored
in
memory,
you
may
rotate
the
MEMORY
switch
to
select
one
for
use
with
the
priority
channel.
(4)
In
the
FM

is
shifted
back
to
the
main
dial.
REPEATER
OPERATION
(1)
Repeater
shifts
of
+600
kHz,
and
—600
kHz
are
built
into
the
FT-480R.
To
select
these
shifts,
set
the
MODE
switch
to
the
+
or
—
position
respectively.
(2)
To
cover
unusual
repeater
splits,
you
can
use
the
VFO
A/B
TXA
feature.
Example:
receive
frequency
144.640
MHz
with
1
MHz
split.
Rotate
the
main
tuning
dial
to
the
145.640
MHz
and
press
the
VFO
A/B
TXA
button
on
the
front
panel;
now
the
transmit
frequency,
145.640
MHz,
is
memo-
rized.
Rotate
the
main
tuning
dial
to
144.640
MHz
for
receiving.
If
you
close
the
PTT
switch,
your
transmit
frequency
will
be
shifted
to
145.640
MHz.
(3)
A
1750
or
1800
Hz
tone
generator
is
included
with
your
transceiver
for
accessing
a
repeater
requiring
such
a
tone.
With
the
BURST
switch
ON,
pushing
the
microphone
PTT
will
cause
insertion
of
an
0.5
second
tone
at
the
begining
of
each
transmission.
When
the
T.CALL
switch
is
pushed,
a
tone
will
be
superimposed
on
the
signal
being
transmitted,
for
as
long
as
the
switch
is
held.
An
optional
external
tone
or
burst
generator,
FTS-64E
may
be
connected
through
the
rear
panel
TONE
IN
connector.
INITIALIZING
FREQUENCY/BACKUP
FEATURE
The
FT-480R
includes
a
backup
feature
which
will
hold
all
memory
frequencies,
as
well
as
dial
frequency,
when
the
front
panel
power
switch
is
turned
off.
So
long
as
the
DC
power
to
the
rear
apron
power
jack
is
not
interrupted,
these
fre-
quency
will
be
held.
When
the
power
is
again
turned
on,
the
frequency
and
mode
(memory
priority,
dial,
etc.)
last
used
will
be
recalled,
but
scanning
mode
is
automatically
reset
to
dial
mode.
However,
if
the
power
cord
is
connected
to
13.8
VDC
circuit
that
is
switched
off
along
with
the
automobile
ignition,
all
memory
channels
as
well
as
the
dial
frequency
will
be
reset
to
the
preset
frequency.
SATELLITE
OPERATION
The
FT480R
includes
provision
for
changing
the
transmitting
frequency
while
you
are
transmitting
(some
other
synthesized
transceivers
lock
up
dur-
ing
transmission).
The
ability
to
change
frequency
in
this
manner
is
important
during
satellite
opera-
tion,
as
Doppler
shift
may
cause
your
downlink
frequency
to
be
+3—4
kHz
from
a
predicted
value.
While
listening
on
the
downlink,
and
sending
a
series
of
dots,
satellite
operators
can
usually
find
themselves
quite
quickly.
To
allow
frequency
change
during
transmission,
set
the
bottom
panel
SAT
(Satellite)
switch
to
ON.
For
most
satellite
work
on
SSB
or
CW,
the
synthe-
sizer
step
switch
should
be
set
to
Slow
or
Medium.
You
may
now
close
the
PTT
switch
and
vary
your
frequency
as
desired.
Note
that
your
receiver
fre-
quency
will

The
first
IF
signal
is
passed
through
a
monolithic
crystal
filter,
XFioo
(108M30B),
which
has
+15
kHz
bandwidth,
and
amplified
by
Qio03
(3SK73Y),
which

is
fed
to
2nd
mixer
Qzroos
(2SC535B),
where
the
signal
is
mixed
with
an
11.265
MHz
local
signal,
resulting
in
a
455
kHz
2nd
IF
signal.
The
2nd
IF
signal
is
passed
through
a
ceramic
filter,
CFyoo.1,
which
has
a
+4.5
kHz
bandwidth,
and
then
fed
to
the
FM

The
filtered
signal
is
amplified
by
Qiooe
and
Qi007
(2SC945Q)
and
passed
through
CF
i902,
which
has
4

signal
is
amplified
by
Qyoos
(uPC577H)
and
demodulated
by
CDioo.
and
Dioto/Diorr
(1S188FM).
The
demodulated

signals
from
the
Qioos
are
passed
through
a
crystal
filter,
XFyo02
,
which
has
a
very
high
shape
factor,
to
improve
adjacent
fre-
quency
selectivity.
The
filtered
SSB
_
signal
is
amplified
by
Qioia
and
Qiuors
(3SK73Y),
and
then
fed
to
the
balanced
demodulator,
Quiors
(PC1037H),
where
a
carrier
signal
is
applied
from
the
carrier
oscillator
Qio4:/Qioa2_
(28C945Q),;
the
detected
audio
output
is
then
fed
to
the
AF
amplifier.
-~|4-
The
audio
signals
from
each
demodulator
are
passed
to
the
active
lowpass
filter,
which
consists
of
Qjo27
and
Qyorg
(25C945Q)
to
eliminate
the
unwanted
noise
portion
of
the
signal.
The
audio
signal
is
then
fed,
through
the
AF
gain
control,
to
the
audio
output
amplifier,
Qiozo
(uPC2002V),
providing
about
2
watts
of
audio
output
to
the
speaker.
AGC
and
S-METER
CIRCUIT
A
portion
of
the
IF
signal
from
Qiois
is
fed
through
Ciog0
to
a
buffer
amplifier
Qioi7
(25C-
535B).
The
amplified
signal
is
then
applied
to
the
AGC.
detector,
Diozs/Diox
(1S188FM).
The
rectified
signal
is
amplified
by
DC
amplifier
Qiois
(2SC1815Y).
This
amplified
DC
voltage
controls
gate
2
of
MOS
FET’s
in
the
RF
and
IF
amplifier.
A
portion
of
the
AGC
signal
is
buffered
by
Qioa
(2SK30AY),
and
fed
to
the
S-METER
amplifier
Qi022
(2SA733P).
This
amplified
voltage
is
delivered
to
the
front
panel
S.PO
indicator
to
illuminate
LEDs
according
to
the
input
signal
strength.
SQUELCH
CIRCUIT
A
portion
of
the
demodulated
FM
signal
from
the
ceramic
discriminator
(CDj001,
Dioio,
Dios
)
is
fed
to
noise
amplifiers
Qioos
and
Qroto
(28C945Q)
through
VRioo2
and
the
SQ
Control
(VR,,),
and
then
rectified
by
Dyor2
and
Dyois,
a
voltage
doubl-
ing
circuit.
The
rectified
signal
is
fed
to
the
base
of
Oro
(2SC1815Y),
the
squelch
control
circuit.
When
no
carrier
is
present,
the
rectified
DC
voltage
is
applied
to
the
base
of
Qioi.,
to
turn
Qi012
(2SC1815GR)
on.
With
conduction
of
Qioi,
the
base
of
Qio1.
is
grounded,
squelching
the
audio
amplifier.
When
a
carrier
is
present,
the
rectified
DC
voltage
is
reduced,
and
the
audio
amplifier
Qioi.
then
recovers
to
normal
operation.
The
BUSY
lamp
switch,
Qio13
(2SC945Q),
is
also
activated
by
the
rectified
voltage
from
the
demodulator
to
illumi-
nate
the
BUSY
lamp
when
a
carrier
is
present.

NB
(Noise
Blanker)
CIRCUIT
A
portion
of
the
IF
signal
from
monolithic
filter
XFioo1
is
amplified
by
Qioa7
(2SC535B),
Qioas,
Qioaa,
ANd
Qyosq
(2SC1583).
The
output
signal
is
rectified
by
Dyoso
and
Dyogo,
producing
a
DC
voltage.
This
DC
voltage
is
amplified
by
Qyo52
(MPSA13)
and
fed
to
gate
2
of
Qjoo3,
the
noise
blanker
gate.
A
portion
of
the
DC
voltage
is
amplified
by
Qios;,
and
then
fed
to
Quroas,
Qioag
(2SC1583)
as
a
noise
blanker
AGC
voltage.
When
impulse-type
noise
is
received,
the
induced
DC
voltage
reduces
the
gain
of
Qj993,
and
blocks
the
signal
path
momentarily.
The
noise
AGC
control
voltage
is
not,
however,
induced
by
such
impulse-type
noise,
because
the
time
constant
of
Ci243/Ri273
is
long.
Normal
signals,
though,
induce
the
noise
blanker
AGC
voltage,
reducing
the
gain
of
the
noise
amplifier,
allowing
normal
signal
flow
at
Qio03
-
TRANSMITTER
The
discussion
of
the
signal
flow
on
transmit
will
be
on
a
mode
by
mode
basis.

and
is
applied
through
an
active
lowpass
filter,
Qioa9
(28C945Q),
to
the

POWER
AMPLIFIER
CIRCUIT
The
RF
signal
from
the
Main
Unit
is
amplified
by
Qsroor
(28C2053)
and
Qroo:
(M57713)
in
the
Power
Amplifier
Unit,
delivering
approximately
10
watts
of
RF
output
to
the
antenna
through
a
lowpass
filter.

POWER
CONTROL
CIRCUIT
When
the
HI/LOW
switch
is
set
to
the
LOW
posi-
tion,
the
base
of
Qioas
is
grounded
through
VRjo:2,
and
the
collector
current
of
Qjoa,
is
decreased.
Because
the
output
power
of
Qjo9;
is
controlled
by
Qroo3,
the
drive
level
to
Qyo92
is
decreased,
thus
reducing
the
RF
output
power
to
approximately
|
watt.

A
portion
of
the
VCXO
signal
is
taken
to
buffer
amplifier
Q3o17
(3SK73Y)
before
passing
to
mixer
Qsoig
(SNI6913P),
where
the
signal
is
mixed
with
a
63
MHz
signal
generated
by
VCXO
Qsoo0
(2SC1674L)
and
Qsoi9
(2SC535A),
resulting
in
a
600
kHz
signal.
The
600
kHz
signal
is
amplified
by
Q3019
(2SC945Q)
and
fed
to
phase
comparator
Q3o14
(TC5081P),
which
compares
the
phase
of
the
signal
with
that
of
the
600
kHz
signal
from
PLL
Loop
3,
producing
an
error-correction
DC
voltage.
The
DC
voltage
is
passed
through
a
lowpass
filter
and
fed
to
the
VCXO
to
control
its
oscilla-
tion
frequency.
In
PLL
Loop
3,
a
60
MHz
signal
is
generated
by
VCO-2
Qyoo,
(2SKI9TM-GR)
and
applied
through
buffers
Q3902
(3SK73Y)
and
Q3o1,
(28C535A)
to
a
prescaler,
Q3o)2/Q3013
(HD10551),
which
divides
its
frequency
by
1/100,
thus
producing
a
600
kHz
signal.
A
portion
of
the
output
of
Qyoo2
is
fed
to
mixer
Qjoo3
(SNLI6913P),
where
the
signal
is
mixed
with
a
63
MHz
signal
which
is
generated
by
Q3o00
(2SC1674L),
and
applied
through
a

Q3o06
(TC5081P)
which
compares
the
phase
of
the

which
is
generated
by
Qs3o07_
(TCS082P),
producing

PLL
Control
Circuit
In
the
PLL

CPU
is
used
to
control
the
operating

selections.
The
CPU
has
one
input
port,
three
1/O
ports
and
four
output
ports.
The
CPU
processes
input
data
by
means
of
the
main
dial
or
other
control
switches
in
accordance
with
the
program
stored
in
an
ROM
for
control
of
the
PLL
frequency,

of
the
operating
frequency,
or

The
CPU
is
also
furnished
with
a
function
to
halt
transmis-
sion
when
any
VCO
is
unlocked,
resulting
in
a
fail-safe
system.

MAINTENANCE
AND
ALIGNMENT
This
equipment
has
been
carefully
aligned
and
tested
at
the
factory
prior
to
shipment.
If
the
instrument
is
not
abused,
it
should
not
require
other
than
the
usual
attention
given
to
electronic
equipment.
Service
or
replacement
of
a
major
component
may
require
considerable
realignment.
Under
no
circum-
stances,
though,
should
realignment
be
attempted
unless
the
operation
of
the
transceiver
is
fully
understood,
the
malfunction
has
been
carefully
analyzed,
and
the
fault
has
definitely
been
traced
to
misalignment
rather
than
part
failure.
Service
work
must
only
be
performed
by
experienced
personnel
using
the
proper
test
equipment.
Never
align
this
transceiver
without
having
a
50
ohm
dummy
load
connected
to
the
antenna
jack,
unless
otherwise
noted.
Troubleshooting
using
an
antenna
can
result
in
misleading
indications
on
test
equipment.
