MIC signals from the internal/external microphone (MIC
signals) are passed through the MIC gain SW (Q303),
and applied to the MIC AMP (Q302, 304). The amplified
MIC signals are passed through the mode SW (IC301)
which toggles the MIC line according to the operating
mode; FM or DV. The MIC signals are applied to the IDC
(Instance Deviation Controller; IC302) circuit which limits
the amplitude of MIC signals (=deviation) to prevent over
deviation.
The amplitude-limited MIC signals are passed through the
splatter filter (IC302) which cuts off the 3 kHz and higher
audio signals. The frequency-limited MIC signals are entered
to the MAIN UNIT via the mode SW (IC303), then applied
to the DAC (M: IC600) for level (deviation) adjustment. The
level-adjusted MIC signals are applied to the modulation
circuits.

DV MODE
The MIC signals from the microphone (MC300) are passed
through the MIC gain SW (Q303) and applied to the MIC
AMP (Q302, 304). The amplified MIC signals are applied
to the ALC AMP (IC300) which automatically adjusts the
level of MIC signals to stable for digital proccessing, via
the mode SW (IC301). The level-adjusted MIC signals are
applied to the IDC circuit (IC302) for amplitude-limitting.
The amplitude-limited MIC signalsn are passed through the
splatter filter (IC302) which cuts off the 3 kHz and higher
audio signals.
The frequency-limited MIC signals are applied to the liner
CODEC IC (IC503) via the buffer (IC504A), and encoded
into the digital audio signal. The digital audio signal is then
applied to the DSP CODEC IC (IC506) and converted into
the AMBE signal. The AMBE signal is applied to the modem
IC (IC501) via the CPU (IC1). The modem IC converts
the AMBE signal into the analog signal, and output to the
DAC (IC600, pin 1) via the buffer (IC302D) and the mode
SW (IC303). The tone signal is level-adjusted by DAC
(M: IC600), then applied to the modulation circuits as the
modulation signals.
MODULATION CIRCUITS (VCO UNIT)
The modulation signals from the DAC (M: IC600, pin 2)
are entered to the VCO UNIT, and applied to the variable
capacitors of VCOs.
• OPERATING ON VHF BAND
The modulation signals are applied to the D55 of the
VHF VCO (Q51, D51, 54) to obtain FM modulation. The
FM-modulated VCO output is buffer-amplified by Q200,
amplified by Q201 then entered to the RF UNIT as TX
signal.
• OPERATING ON UHF BAND
The modulation signals are applied to the D100 of the UHF
VCO (Q101, D101, 104) to obtain FM modulation. The
FM-modulated VCO output is buffer-amplified by Q200,
amplified by Q201 then entered to the RF UNIT as TX
signal.
TX AMPLIFIERS (RF UNIT)
TX signal from VCO UNIT is applied to the LO AMP
(IC100) via the LO SW (D100). The amplified TX signal is
passed through the ATT (D158, 159) which is a port of the
APC circuit. The level-adjusted TX signal is amplified by
YGR (Q102), drive (Q101) and power (Q100) amplifiers in
sequence, to obtain TX output power. The power-amplified
TX signal is passed through the TX filters, power detector
and ANT SWs.
• OPERATION ON VHF BAND
The power-amplified TX signal from the power AMP (Q100)
is passed though the LPF, power detector, ANT SW and two
LPFs (as a harmonic filter), then applied to the antenna via
ANT connector (CHASSIS; J1).
• OPERATION ON UHF BAND
The power-amplified TX signal from the power AMP (Q100)
is passed though the BPF, power detector, ANT SW, HPF
and LPF (as a harmonic filter), then applied to the antenna
via ANT connector (CHASSIS; J1).
