Chapter 2 Radio Power

This chapter provides a detailed circuit description of the power distribution of an ASTRO XTS 5000

radio.

2.1 General

In the ASTRO XTS 5000 radio, power (B+) is distributed to two boards: the transceiver (RF) board

and the VOCON board (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 for UHF Range 1 (R1) and 700–800 MHz, and

Figure 2-2 on page 2-2 for VHF). In the case of a secure model radio, B+ is also supplied to the

encryption module.

Power for the radio is provided through a battery supplying a nominal 7.5 Vdc directly to the

transceiver. The following battery types and capacities are available:
