3-1-13 AGC CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)

The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuit adjusts IF amplify
gain to keep the audio output at a constant level. The
receiver gain is determined by the voltage on the AGC line
from the DSP circuit.

The AGC voltage is detected at the AGC detector section
inside the DSP ICs (LOGIC unit; IC301, IC2201) and the
AGC voltage is applied to the D/A converter (IC2155). The
converted AGC voltage is applied to the IF amplifiers (Q702,
Q902, Q1001) after being amplified at IC1201 (pin 12) and
sets the receiver gain with [RF/SQL] control.

When receiving strong signals, the detected voltage increas-
es and the AGC voltage decreases. As the AGC voltage is
used for the bias voltage of the IF amplifiers (Q702, Q902,
Q1001), IF amplifier gain is decreased.

3-1-14 S-METER CIRCUIT (LOGIC UNIT)

The S-meter circuit indicates the relative received signal
strength while receiving.

The received signal strength is detected inside the DSP ICs
(IC301, IC2201) and then applied to the main CPU (IC1302).

The S-meter signal for WFM mode is output from the FM
detector IC (IC401, pin 4) and then applied to the to the
main CPU (IC1302, pin 123).

The S-meter signal from the main CPU (IC1302) is applied
to the sub CPU (DISPLAY unit; IC2003) and is then dis-
played on the LCD display.

3-1-15 SQUELCH CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)

The squelch circuit mutes audio output when the S-meter
signal is lower than the [RF/SQL] control setting level.

The S-meter signal from the DSP IC is applied to the main
CPU (LOGIC unit; IC1302) and is compared with the thresh-
old level set by the [RF/SQL] control. The [RF/SQL] setting
is picked up at the sub CPU (DISPLAY unit; IC2003, pin 74).
The main CPU (LOGIC unit; IC1302) compares the S-meter
signal and [RF/SQL] setting, and outputs the mute signal via
the DSP IC (IC301, pin B4) to the AF switch (IC2601, pin 2)
to cut AF signals via Q2607.

While receiving WFM mode, the S-meter signal is output
from the WFM demodulator (IC401, pin 4) and applied to the
to the main CPU (LOGIC unit; IC1302, pin 123). The main
CPU (LOGIC unit; IC1302) compares the S-meter signal and
[RF/SQL] setting, and outputs the mute signal via the DSP
IC (IC301, pin B4) to the AF switch (IC2601, pin 2) to cut AF

signals via Q2607.

3-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS

3-2-1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)

The microphone amplifier circuit amplifies microphone audio
signal to a level needed for the DSP circuit.

Audio signals from the [MIC] connector (FRONT unit; J303
or MAIN unit; J2003) are amplified at the microphone ampli-
fier (IC2007, pins 1, 2) and then applied to the DSP circuit
(LOGIC unit) via J2251 (pin 3).

3-2-2 DSP CIRCUIT (LOGIC UNIT)

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) circuit enables digital
PSN modulator, digital Low Power modulator, digital Phase
modulator, transmitter monitor and side tone, etc.

The amplified microphone signals are passed through the
low-pass filter (IC502, pins 1, 2) and then applied to the A/D
converter (IC551, pin 3). The converted digital audio signal
are applied to the DSP ICs (IC301, IC2201) to covert into
the modulated 16.15 kHz 3rd IF signal. The modulated 3rd
IF signal from the DSP IC (IC301) is applied to the D/A con-
vertor (IC551) to convert into the analog 3rd IF signal. The
converted analog 3rd IF signal is output from pins 27, 28
(IC551) and then passed through the low-pass filter (IC601,
pins 1–3).

The filtered IF signal is applied to the 3rd mixer circuit (MAIN
unit) via the J701 (pin 12).

3-2-3 3RD MIXER CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)

The 3rd mixer circuit mixes the 3rd IF signal with the 3rd LO
signal to convert into the 2nd IF frequency.

The filtered signal from the low-pass filter (LOGIC unit;
IC601) is applied to the analog switch (IC2251, pins 1,
7) and then applied to the 3rd mixer circuit (IC1301, pins
3, 5). The applied signal is mixed with the 3rd LO signal
(438.85 kHz) coming from DDS unit via J2406 (pin 13) and
converted into the 455 kHz 2nd IF signal.

The converted 2nd IF signal is applied to the 2nd IF circuit.

3-2-4 2ND IF CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)

The 2nd IF circuit filters and amplifies the 2nd IF signal.

The converted 2nd IF signal is applied to the 2nd IF ampli-
fier (Q901) and then passed through the bandpass filter
(FI901) via the TX switch (D903) to suppress unwanted sig-
nals.

The filtered signal is applied to the 2nd mixer circuit.
