POWER SWITCH OFF: {button-out position) T/ WHICH RECEIVE {UP) VOX SWITCH OFF{UP) AGC: SWITCH SLOW (UP) NB {NOISE BLANKER} SWITCH OFF (UP) MODE SELECT ‘SWITCH USB or LSB VFO SWITCH GAIN CONTROL: Sully Counterclockwise RE .
For normal SS8 reception, set the AGC switch in ‘the UP (slow) position. Set the AGC switch in the FAST {down) position, when tuning or receiving signals with short interval fading. When in the FAST position, the time constant is shortened. P.B. (PASS BAND) TUNING The Pass Band Tuning unit is a system in the receive mode 1o narrow the band width {selectivity) of the frequencies that will: pass through the crystal filter electrically from either the upper or lower side continuously by up to kHz.

" Turn the Tuning Knob to that the beat caused with the AM signal carrier becomes a ''zero beat”™ Brainstorming AM signal’s carrier and lower side band signal are:removed with the crystal filter, and the: resulting upper side band signal is fed to the detector, the same for SSB detection. Therefor, ‘the other procedures are the same as for S5B reception.
2. The NOISE BLANKER and the AGC circuits do not actuate in this mode. TRANSMITTING Set knobs and switches as Hollows: MIC: GAIN CONTROL Center (12 o’clock) position RF POWER: CONTROL Completely Counterclockwise [COMP: OFF position) Other knobs and switches are left i the same positions as for receiving: Tum the T/R switch to TRANSMIT or push the PTT {push to talk} button on the microphone and the: transceiver will transmit.
TRISECTION Vil THEORY OF OPERATION OUTLINE The 1C-BS1D ‘employs a digital ‘phase Socked loop {PLL} circuit as the local oscillator for goth Transmit and: receive. The output of ‘the PLL circuit is approximately: MHz below the receive frequency; thereby spurious is kleptomania minimum: The: operating frequency s controlled: by pulse signals, generated: by ‘the optical chopper circuit Located at the tuning knob, being added to or subtracted from the preset francium in the micro: Computer.
RF CIRCUIT Mitered signals from the double-helical cavity filter, which reduces interference and intermediate: son farm other radio signals or nearby signals, are fed to the bridge attenuation consisting of 128 D23, €95 and C96: RF gain control and: AGC voltage'is added to diode D23; which changes the balance of the bridge to control the input signal Revel.
32 MHz) result in signals of 10.7512MHZ 10 10.7488MHz all signals will pass through the filter. NEMBUTAL centered Output: Signals Pass band of © Output Signal of MAIN unit Fi1 of Mixer 8 i Output Signals i ; of Mixer Filial [KHz) 9015 [k b Mtz an MK Turning the:Pass Band Tuning control fury clockwise, the VX0 Frequency:will become 19.7630 Mz {19:7615+ L5KHzE: When mixed with:the commingling B.0115MHMz signals, the resultant frequencies: become 10.
The signal which has passed through the pass band tuning circuits is amplified by a three-stage amplifier consisting of litigate MOS PET's 02, O3 and 4. Tess amplifiers provide high gain and high stability, and-the: IF coils and L11 eject interference from outside the IF pays band and other wide-range noise.
A TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS MICROPHONE -AMPLIFIER :AND: LIMITER CIRCUIT Audio signals ‘from the microphone ‘are: fed 16 Pin: 6:of the audio amplifier 1C6/2: Amplified signals appear at Pin 7.and are sent through G172 and J4 1o the MIC GAIN control variable resistor on the front panel. Adjusted signals sre fed to Pin 2 of 1C5/1 through €171, D45 and C170in the EM mods, ‘as D4E is turned ON by the voltage supplied through B1B8; and through C171.

High quality PET's OB and 07; and-coll L17 and 1.18 work ss & double-balanced mixer to provide Tow spurious generation and excellent mixer characteristics. The local oscillator signals are supplied to:L18 through D7 from the PLL circuit and mixed with the AM, Boris CW signals fed through D8 from Fl1.
=36 APICAL CIRCUIT ‘This circuit stabilizes the output powder, even when the power vantage ior ‘the antenna Joan s fluctuating, and sets the ‘output: power between: 1 and 80 watts. The variation in the collector current of Q2 s detected at R6 and amplified by differential amplifier 1IC1/1. The output voltage from Pin: 7 of ICTUS s fed to the second gate of 05 to stabilize the RF output power. In the 558 mode, ‘when output signals are higher than the saturation level, 08 and Q9 are tied ON.
base' of ANTELOPE detector Q2 and its output of the sitter is supplied o the other base of 03, The emitter voltage of O3 is changed 1o ground level by turning ON O3 to cane! the VOX signals. In the CW mode, the keying signal s fed 1o the base of Q10 through R33 and keys the input terminal of the BRD, 1C4. The time-delayed keying signal. the output signal of 104 is ted to the base of Q7 and switches 06 corresponding 16 keying.
=38 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT Regardless of whether the transceiver is switched to the receive mode or not, power is always supplied from a constantly activated source to the receiver AF amplifier, the transmitter microphone amplifier circuits:and VOX circuit BFQ and Cw monitor circuits are supplied through the mode switch.
The crystal unit X2; a special VXO (Variable Ital Oscillator) crystal, is constricted to 03's base and oscillates at about 1B.0T0MHz2. | The oscillating frequency is altered in 100Hz steps by the voltage stippled to the anodes of D3 and DA from the D/A (Digital to ‘Ana tog) converter through 1C6/2 operational amplifier. The MHz signal is doubled at 4, has the local oscillator out bot between 36.0186MHz and 36.0284MHz Is obtained. The cathodes of D3 and DA are connected to the BIT.
LA steps is set by the 100Hz step variation of the Local oscillator: (V X0} frequency.
Q10 ON. The voltage at the emitter of 010 becomes approximately 0.6V below the voltage at the base of Q10.: Thus the input voltage of regulator IC7 is regulated at the tonal of the zither vantage of D2 and the emitter voltage of Q10. When the input voltage of 1G7 varies, the emitter voltage of Q10 varies because ‘the: zen er voltage is stable.: The variation: in the voltage controls Q9 by corralling thi base current of Q9. Thus the input voltage of 1C7.is regulated.
cag As these 90 degree out of phase signals are similar to @ Sine wave, the signals are converted into logic level signals which have vary hart rise and fall times by the Schmidt trigger circuits of ICT With the folic level signals, clack pulse signals (CK 1, 2) and RUBDOWN rials (UD] are generated: by: the UP/DOWN control recruit; TIMING CHART When ths tuning knob is turned When the tuning knob is Wined clockwise counterclockwise /\ & o N lee The flip-flop of (@ (1/2 1C2) and & {1/2 1C3) functions as a qua

K1 and K2 data ave added to or subtracted from the preset frequency {60, MHz) according to the UP/DOWN signal.
(DIAL: LOCK} This flow occurs when the dial lock switch s set in the lock position, UP) This flow occurs when the frequency is moved up by turning the tuning control knob. When the frequency is moved down, the R2 signal is not fed (Memory 1) This flow scours whee the VRO select switch s set at "Memory (Memory @) This flow occurs when the VEQ select switch s set at ""Memory 27, B3 K4 (Memory 3} This flow occupiers when the: VEQ select switch is set at “Memory 37 In the condition: of (8}, .

This flow otters when the Unit 18 set in the transmit mods. The scan operation ‘stops auto. manically.
46— CPU MALFUNCTION-PREVENT: CIRCUIT This circuit s to prevent the CPU from malfunctioning which: may be caused by repeatedly turning the power ON and OFF, or by chattering when the power connector is plugged. The cause of this malfunction s that (C7 starts recharging before it discharges: Completely and the Challis not initialized: To prevent this; Od is turned ON and C7.
€20 50 that QB is turned DEE, and the nonadjustable multi vibrator, consisting:of 1C12 and ICC; operates with the: time constant set by ‘R28 and €5, -In the other scan mode, O5 s turned ON so that the scan speed is decided by the teems constant set by C5, R42, R28 and the scan speed control R203 under the access cover. The K2 input signal is read and its positive edge and variegate edge is detected by the CPU program. The CPU synchronizes to-this period and decides the scanning speed.

THE SCAN B’ MODE SCAN START/STOP ‘The scan START and scan STOP 1 function by Use of the MS/MW button, and scan STOP 2 functions by receiving a signal, are the same as the operations for SCAN YA mode. AUTO SCAN START In the SCAN “B” mode, the scanning stops by receiving a signal. After approximately 16 seconds; the Sean re-starts automatically: In SCAN: “B" mode, Pio 4 of 1C11 and Pin 4 of ICC is shunt to-ground through D37 so that the output signal from Pin 13 of 1G13 does not reset Pins 125 0f ICC.
