First Mixer
There are 2 types of first mixers: for IF frequency
11.374MHz RX-1 path, and for IF frequency 73.095MHz
RX-2 path.
The fi rst mixer for the RX-1 path is a quad-balance type
mixer by JFET (Q263 to Q266), and mixes with LO1 (12.495
to 32.195MHz) which is approxi18dBm, and con-
verts into the fi rst IF (11.374MHz). Approximately 2.6V bias
is added to LO1 in order to suppress distortion.
The fi rst mixer for the RX-2 path is a quad-balance type
mixer by JFET (Q321 to Q324), and mixes with LO1 (73.120

verts into the fi rst IF (73.095MHz). No bias is added to this
LO1.
The volume resistance (VR261, VR321) within the first
mixer circuit is used to adjust mixer balance. After replac-
ing the JFET (Q263~Q266, Q321~Q324), transformer (L261,
L262, L264, L323, L324, L326), volume resistance (VR261,
VR321), or TX-RX unit (XC1-024 A/2), adjust the mixer bal-
ance in the adjustment mode.
