RCI-6300F TB OPERATION Figure 2-1 Front Panel 2.0 INTRODUCTION This section explains the basic operating procedures for the RANGER RCI-6300F HP / RCI-6300F TB mobile transceiver. 2.1 CONTROL AND CONNECTIONS 2.1.1 FRONT PANEL Refer to the above Figure 2-1 for the location of the following controls. 1. ON/OFF VOLUME CONTROL This knob controls the volume and the power to the radio. To turn the radio on, rotate the knob clockwise. Turning the knob further will increase the volume of the receiver. 2.
Adjusts the microphone gain in the transmit and PA modes. This controls the gain to the extent that full talk power is available several inches away from the microphone. In the Public Address (PA) mode, the control functions as the volume control. 4. RF GAIN CONTROL This control is used to reduce the gain of the RF amplifier under strong signal conditions. 5. MODE SWITCH This control allows you to select one of the following operating modes: PA/FM/AM.
17. S-RF/SWR SWITCH This is a two-function switch. In the S-RF position, the meter will indicate the strength of the signal being received, as well as the relative RF output of transmission. To use the meter to measure the standing wave ratio, turn the switch to the SWR position. The SWR function is self-calibrating. 18. NB/ANL/OFF SWITCH In the NB/ANL position, the RF Noise Blanker and the Automatic Noise Limiter in the audio circuits are also activated.
Figure 2-2 Rear Panel 1. ANTENNA This jack accepts 50 ohms coaxial cable with a PL- 259 type plug. 2. POWER This connector accepts 13.8V DC power cable with built-in fuse. The power cord provided with the radio has a black and red wire. The black goes to negative and the red goes to positive. 3. PA. SP. This jack is for PA operation. Before operating, you must first connect a PA speaker (8 ohms, 4W) to this jack. 4. EXT. SP. This jack accepts 4 to 8 ohms, 4 watts external speaker.

2.3 OPERATION 2.3.1 PROCEDURE TO RECEIVE 1. Be sure that power source, microphone and antenna are connected to the proper connectors before going to the next step. 2. Turn unit on by turning VOL knob clockwise on transceiver. 3. Set the VOL to a comfortable listening level. 4. Set the MODE switch to the desired mode. 5. Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQ knob slowly clockwise until the noise just disappears. The SQ is now properly adjusted.

CHAPTER 3 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION RCI-6300F HP RCI-6300F TB 3.0 INTRODUCTION This section explains the technical theory of operation for the RCI-6300F HP / RCI-6300F TB mobile transceiver.
3.1 PLL CIRCUIT The Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit is responsible for developing the receiver’s first local oscillator signal and the transmitter’s exciter signal. The PLL circuit consists primarily of IC2, IC3, IC4, IC5 Q25, Q27, Q28, Q29 and Q61. The PLL circuit is programmed by the rotary channel switch GPS-0501. The switch communicates the correct binary data information to the programmable divider inside of IC3.
