1. Overview
This transceiver is VHF/FM portable transceiver designed
to operate in the frequency range of 217 to 250MHz (K, E),
240 to 270MHz ((N)M).
2. Circuit Configuration by Frequency
The receiver is a double-conversion superheterodyne with
a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 44.85MHz and a second
IF of 455kHz. Incoming signals from the antenna are mixed
with the local signal from the PLL to produce the first IF of
44.85MHz.
This is then mixed with the 44.395MHz second local
oscillator output to produce the 455kHz second IF. This is
detected to give the demodulated signal.
The transmit signal frequency is generated by the PLL VCO,
and modulated by the signal from the microphone. It is then
amplified and sent to the antenna.

3. Receiver System
3-1. RF unit
An incoming RF signal from the antenna terminal is passed
through the antenna switch (D12, D14, D22 and D401 are off)
and then the bandpass filter (L403,404,405,406). The bandpass
filter is adjusted by a variable capacitor. The input voltage to
the variable capacitor is regulated by the voltage output from
the D/A converter (IC8). The signal is amplified by RF amplifier
(Q24), and passed through the bandpass filter (L31,33) and
band-eliminate filter (L27,29) to remove the spurious signal
again. The resulting signal is applied to the first mixer (IC18),
where it is mixed with the first local oscillator signal output
from the frequency synthesizer to produce the first IF
(44.85MHz). The 1st mixer uses the GaAs IC.
3-2. IF unit
The first IF signal is passed through a crystal filter (XF1) to
remove a adjacent channel signal. The filtered first IF signal is
amplified by the first IF amplifier (Q12) and then applied to the
lF system IC (IC12). The IF system IC provides a second mixer,
second local oscillator, limiting amplifier, quadrature detector
and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The second
mixer mixes the first IF signal with the 44.395MHz of second
local oscillator output (crystal unit X2) and produces the second
IF signal of 455kHz.
The second IF signal is passed through the ceramic filter
(CF2) to more remove the adjacent channel signal. The filtered
second IF signal is amplified by the limiting amplifier and
demodulated by the quadrature detector with ceramic
discriminator (CD1). The demodulated signal is routed to the
audio circuit.
