5-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
This transceiver has two receiving lines called A_BAND and B_
BAND for dualwatch capability. A_BAND corresponds to FM/WFM/
AM mode receiving within 0.495–999 MHz range, and B_BAND
corresponds to FM/FM-N/AM/DV mode receiving within 118–174
MHz and 350–470 MHz ranges.
5-1-1 RF CIRCUITS (RF UNIT)
This transceiver has six RF circuits to provide wide receiving range.
The received signals from the antenna connector (CHASSIS; J1)
are applied to each RF circuit for the frequency coverage, and
amplified within the frequency coverage.
• While receiving 0.495–76 MHz
The received signals of 76 MHz and below are passed through the
low-pass filter (LPF; L200, L201, C201–C204) via the two LPFs
(L1–L3, C1–C6; L5–L7, C10–C14), attenuator (D10) and band
switch (D200).
The 0.495–30 MHz band signals are passed through the band
switch (D201), then applied to the RF amplifier (Q200) via the
low-pass filter (L202, L203, C205–C209). The 30–76 MHz band
signals are applied to the tuned RF amplifier (Q250, D252, D255)
via the band switch (D250).
The amplified signals are applied to the A_BAND 1st mixer (IC900,
pin 1) via the band switches (D203 or D256, D707).
- 0.495–76 MHz -
• While receiving 76–118 MHz or 174–260 MHz
The 76–118 MHz band signals are passed through the two LPFs
(L1–L3, C1–C6; L5–L7, C10–C14), attenuator (D10) and low-pass
filter (L300, L301, C301–C305) via the band switch (D300).
The 174–260 MHz band signals are passed through the LPF (L1–
L3, C1–C6), HPF (L4, C7–C9), attenuator (D7) and high-pass filter
(HPF; L302, L303, C306–C310) via the band switch (D302).
The filtered signals are applied to the tuned RF amplifier (Q300,
Q301, D305, D307, D308) via the band switch (D301/D303).
The amplified signals are applied to the A_BAND 1st mixer (IC900,
pin 1) via the band switches (D311, D707).

• While receiving 118–174 MHz
The 118–174 MHz band signals are passed through the two LPFs
(L1–L3, C1–C6; L5–L7, C10–C14) and attenuator (D10), then
applied to the RF amplifier (Q400) via the band switch (D400) and
bandpass filter (BPF; L400, L405, C400, C401).
The amplified signals are applied to the tuned RF amplifiers for A_
BAND (Q401, D401–D403) and B_BAND (Q450, D450–D452).
The amplified signals by Q401 are then applied to the A_BAND
1st mixer (IC900, pin 1) via the band switches (D405, D509).
The amplified signals by Q450 are then applied to the B_BAND
1st mixer (MAIN UNIT; IC50, pin 1) via the band switch (D454) and
J1001 (pin 15).
