RX AF CIRCUITS
The demodulated AF signal from the MAIN UNIT is passed
through the HPF (IC3c), AF line SW (IC6), LPF (IC3d), AF
line SW (IC6), another AF line SW (IC28) and the electronic
volume (IC25) for adjustment in level. The level-adjusted AF
signal is applied to the MAIN UNIT.
The AF signal is applied to the AF AMP (IC7), through the
speaker mute SW (Q20). The amplifi ed AF signal is output
to the internal speaker through the speaker mute SWs (Q33,
Q35–Q37), or external speaker through the speaker mute
SW (Q36, Q37) and the [SP] connector.
SQUELCH CIRCUIT
The squelch circuit cuts off the AF output signal while no RF
signal is received. Detecting noise components in the demod-
ulated AF signal, the squelch circuit stops audio signal from
being emitted.
A portion of the demodulated AF signal from the IF IC (IC3) is
passed through the D/A converter (IC5) for level (=threshold)
adjustment. The level-adjusted AF signal is passed through
the noise fi lter (IC3, pins 7, 8 and R37, R39, R40, R191, C52,
C53, C308) to fi lter only the noise components (approximate-
ly 30 kHz signals). The noise components are rectifi ed by the
noise detector, resulting in a DC voltage corresponding to the
noise level.
When the noise level is higher than the preset one, the inter-
nal comparator sets the “NOIS” signal to the CPU to “High,”
and then the CPU controls the speaker mute SW (Q20) to
stop audio signal from being emitted.
4-2 TX AF CIRCUITS
The AF signal from the microphone (MIC signal) is applied to
the MIC AMP (IC3a), through the
[MIC]
jack. The amplifi ed
MIC signal is passed through the AF line SW (IC28) and the
electronic volume (IC25) for adjustment in level. The level-
adjusted AF signal is applied to the IDC (IC3d) which func-
tions as the splatter fi lter.
The fi ltered MIC signal is passed through another AF line SW
(IC6) and LPF (IC3b), then fed back to the AF line SW (IC6),
and then applied to the modulation circuit on the MAIN UNIT.
MODULATION CIRCUIT
The MIC signal from the LOGIC UNIT is applied to the D/A
convertor (IC5) for adjustment in level (=deviation). The level-
adjusted MIC signal is applied to the TX VCO (Q13, D7–D9)
as a modulation signal.
The modulated TX VCO output signal is amplifi ed by the LO
AMP (Q17), and then applied to the TX AMP circuit as the TX
signal, through the buffer (IC10), LO SW (D13) and another
buffer (Q21).
TX AMP CIRCUITS
The TX signal is sequentially amplifi ed by the pre-drive (Q22),
drive (Q26) and power AMP (Q29). The amplifi ed TX signal is
applied to the antenna, through the ANT SW (D24, D25) and
LPF (L36, L39, L41, L42, C291, C295, C296, C298, C300,
C303, C304, C306, C307).
APC CIRCUIT
The voltage produced on both sides of L39 is rectifi ed by D27
and D33, and used as the TX power sensing voltage. The
voltage is applied to the APC AMP (IC9b), and the output
voltage controls the gate voltages of Q29, Q26 and Q22.
The voltage difference between both sides of R157 is detect-
ed by IC9d, to control the TX power when abnormal current
is detected.
