MODULATION CIRCUIT
The modulation signal from the TX AF circuits is applied to
D10 of the TX VCO (Q7, D6, D7, D10, D12) to modulate it
(FM for the analog mode, 4FSK for the digital mode). The
modulated signal from the TX VCO is buffer-amplified by
two buffers (Q12, Q15), and applied to the TX AMP circuits
through the LO SW (D15).
• MODULATION CIRCUITS
TX AMPLIFIERS
The buffer amplified signal from the LO SW (D15) is se-
quentially amplifi ed by the drive AMP (Q17) and power AMP
(IC3), to obtain TX power. The amplifi ed TX signal is passed
through the antenna SW (D24–D26, D28, D32) and the
LPFs, which eliminates harmonics, and then fed to the an-
tenna.
APC CIRCUITS
D27, D29 and D35 rectify a portion of the TX signal to direct
current, and the APC AMP (IC2) compares the voltage and
the TX power control reference voltage, “T1.” The resulting
voltage controls the gain of the power AMP (IC3) to keep the
TX power constant.

5-3 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER CIRCUITS
The RX VCO is composed of Q6, and D4, D5, D11. The
VCO output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers (Q12
and Q15), and then applied to the 1st IF mixer, through the
LO SW (D16) and the attenuator.
The TX VCO is composed of Q7, D6, D7, D10 and D12. The
VCO output signal is buffer-amplified by two buffers (Q12
and Q15), and then applied to the drive AMP (Q17), through
the LO SW (D15) and the LPF.
A portion of signal generated by each VCO is fed back to the
PLL IC (IC8, pin 17) through the buffer (Q11) and the LPF
(L13, C298–C300).
The applied VCO output signal is divided and phase-com-
pared with a 15.3 MHz reference frequency signal from the
TCXO (X2), which is also divided. The resulting signal is
output from the PLL IC (IC8), and DC-converted by the loop
fi lter, and then applied to the VCO as the lock voltage.
When the oscillation frequency drifts, its phase changes
from that of the reference frequency, causing a lock voltage
change to compensate for the drift in the VCO oscillating fre-
quency.
