CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1) Receiver System
1. PA Unit
2. Main Unit
a. Front End
3
SA901 and R903 are installed in the input part of antenna terminal as the
countermeasure against the thunder. The electric charge of antenna is
discharged at R903, and when the voltage becomes over about 300V, the gap
of SA901 is discharged so that the receiving input circuit is protected.
The input signal from antenna is passed through the Tx/Rx selecting relay
(RL903) and passes thru the attenuator of about 20dB (RL906 ON or OFF).
The followings are prevented in LPF consisting of L904, L905, C913, C914,
and C915: 2m band image receiving, passing through the First IF (71.75MHz)
and leaking of the first local oscillating frequency (71.88654~106.75153) to the
antenna terminal.
The receiving signal output from PA Unit is fed to Main unit through CN108.
HPF, consisting of L122, L123, C154, C156, C158, C160, C167, and C168,
eliminates the strong radio signal of MW band of 1.6MHz or below. In case of
receiving the signal of 1.6MHz or below, the received signal is passed through
the low pass Filter (L118, L119, C155, C162, and C163). BPF consists of 8
filters. Each filter covers the following frequency range. The frequency of
2.5MHz or more consists of Chebyshev BPF, and under 2.5MHz frequency
band is LPF.
Range For amateur band
-1.6MHz BPF1
1.6 -2.5MHz BPF2 1.8MHz
2.5 -4.5MHz BPF3 3.5MHz
4.5 -7.5MHz BPF4 7MHz
7.5 -10.5MHz BPF1 10MHz
10.5 -14.5MHz BPF2 14MHz
14.5 -21.5MHz BPF3 18,21MHz
21.5 -30MHz BPF4 24,28MHz
50 -54MHz BPF5 50MHz
Passing through BPF, the signal turns ON/OFF in the switching diode, D120
and D121. This preamplifier is the parallel grounded gate operation of Q128
and Q130 ( 2SK2539 ), so the unit can obtain a good performance at a high
level input signal with low NF.
The wide range frequency from about 1MHz to 60MHz is amplified about 10dB.
This 10dB preamplifier and 20dB attenuator in the PA unit are combined, then
by pressing RF gain switch on the front panel, one of four steps, -20, -10, 0, or
+ 10dB is selected.
The LPF consisting of L146, L147, C235, C236, C252 and C253, prevents the
following first receiving mixer from the local oscillation leaking, and also
prevents the first IF and image of the spurious receiving.
The first receiving mixer consisting of Q128 and Q130 is the balanced mixer, in
which the local oscillating signal is led to the gate of 2SK2539. The 3rd
intercept point is about 20dBm, and local oscillator of about 2V P-P is led to the
gate. The receiving signal is converted into the first IF of 71.75MHz.
b. The First IF Amplifier Circuit
XF102 and XF103 are the crystal filters of 71.75MHz. By the combination of
two filters, the unit has the characteristics of the band width of 15kHz or more
3dB and the value of guaranteed attenuation of 70dB or more. Here the image
ratio is determined 70dB or more (approx. 80dB). The first IF amplifier circuit of
Q124 located between the crystal filters to prevent the loss in the front-end and
mutual interference.
The first IF amplifier circuit Q124 decides the sensitivity after passing the
mixer. AGC voltage is applied to the second gate.
c. The Second Mixer Circuit, The Second Amplifier Circuit
DBM (Double Balanced Mixer) consists of L114, D111 and L115. The signal is
passed in the opposite direction while receiving or transmitting in this DBM.
Approximately 0dBm is fed as the second local oscillating level, and the third
IP is approximately 10dBm.
The receiving signal (71.75MHz) and the second local oscillating frequency
(71.295MHz) is mixed, and unwanted signal is eliminated in LPF consisting of
L101, L102 and C119, then the signal of 455kHz is generated. After passing
through the switching diode D108, the signal is amplified in Q110. The source
of Q110 is controlled by the output of the noise blanker circuit.
d. IF Filter
After passing through the transmission/reception switching diode D110, the
signal is led to one of three ceramic filters of 455kHz. The selectivity is decided
here except CW narrow.
There are two switching diodes for input and output of each filter (D129 to
D150), securing isolation. The isolation required is more than the guaranteed
attenuation for each filter (about 70dB). The filters not used are shorted by
diodes parallel to the filters and cut by the diodes in series, therefore the
combination achieves high level of isolation from the signal. The filter switching
is done by the Q141, Q142, Q143, Q145, D128, D145, D146 and D151, and
the switching configuration depends on the mode, Tx/Rx, and Wide/Narrow
status.
e. Second I.F. Amp
After the filter, passing thru a Tx/Rx switching diode (D128), the signal is
amplified by the Q138 and Q139, and buffered by the Q137. The second gates
of the Q110, Q138 and Q139 are controlled by the AGC circuit. The level of the
received signal for which AGC is applied is of high amplitude and constant at
the output of the Q137.
This output is used for demodulation of SSB, AM, and CW modes besides
used for AGC detection. In the FM mode, the signal having amplified by the
Q138 is partly input to the IC110 (MC3357) thru the C353 and is amplified and
demodulated. The demodulated signal is amplified by an op-amp inside the
IC110. A feedback resistor (R351) has a parallel capacitor (C365) for
de-emphasis. The Q110, Q138 and Q139 are also operational during the FM
mode and the AGC is effected.
4
f. Demodulator
When in SSB or CW mode, the local oscillation signal mentioned below from
DDS circuit is input to the balanced mixer of the IC104. The received signal is
input to pin No.5, the local signal at 5V p-p to pin No.7. The Q610 is amplifier
that amplifies the local signal to 5V p-p.
Local Osc : USB 456.5kHz + IF SHIFT
LSB 453.5kHz + IF SHIFT
CWU 455.0kHz + (sidetone freq) + IF SHIFT
CWL 455.0kHz - (sidetone freq) + IF SHIFT
g. CW Audio Filter
The IC4 is an active filter combined of high pass and low pass filters by
op-amps, which has a passband of about 600Hz (-6dB) with its centre at about
800Hz.
h. AF Switching/AGC Time-Constant Switching
The IC107 is an analogue multiplexer with two channels and four contacts,
which switches the demodulated output and AGC time-constant dependent on
mode. The mode voltage is made by combination of the D139 and D140, which
is input to pin No.9 and 10, thereby switching CW audio filter output and
demodulated output of (SSB), FM, and AM. While transmitting, 8V is imposed
to pin No.6 (inhibit) turning the demodulated output off.
i. AF Amplifier
The AF signal, after passing thru an analogue switch, is amplified by about
50dB with the IC113:A. The output of pin No.1 of the IC113A is fed to AF Gain
potentiometer for audio output control. The potentiometer output is voltagedivided with the R383 and R392 and is fed to the IC112, an AF amp. By said
voltage division, input level is adjusted at the same time the input impedance is
lowered for the IC112 therefore residue noise is lowered
The IC112 is an AF power amp, while the Q147 and C393 form ripple filter.
Over 2W output is obtained at 8 ohm load and 10% distortion. This output is
used as the terminal of packet RTTY, SSTV, etc.
j. AGC
The AGC is affecting to one stage in the first IF circuit, and three stages in the
second IF circuit, a total of four stages. Each amplifier stage is made of
3SK293 with AGC on the second gate. The bias on the first gate of 3SK293,
and the source resistor and voltage at the second gate have been determined
their operational level so that the gain is lowered linearly against the voltage
lowering at the second gate. (The source resistor: 470 ohm; the first gate about
3.7). The D144 is for signal detection and the Q140 is for DC amplification. The
anode of the D135 is set at 4.1V by the R321, D135, R280 and R292. Since
little current flows through the IC106C feedback resistor the VR104, input
resistor R290 and D135 to R321, the voltage of AGC line is about 4.2V. When
there is detection voltage on the D144 due to receiver input signal, the Q140
attempts to lower the AGC voltage. When AGC is set FAST in SSB or CW,
there is the C336 between AGC line and the power supply. The raise in
receiver input signal is AGC controlled dependent on the time-constant which
is determined by R326 and C336 hence the transient response is set.
Discharging is determined by the C336 and R290 and the resulting characteristic is of fast-attack/slow delay type.
When the AGC is set to SLOW, an analogue switch in the IC108 turns ON and
the R333 and C351 comes in parallel, and R333 with C351 makes discharge
time longer without affecting the attack time.When in AM mode, the C325 is
further added in parallel, which delays the attack time and the AGC response
becomes of average-value type. The D135 are for temperature compensation.
If the received signal delays with a narrow filter before AGC detection followed
by AGC-detection and amplification further delaying for AGC-detection, it
would cause amplifying with more gain and this loop would start hunting
effects. For anti-hunting purpose in this regard, the AGC has more CR
time-constant and slower operation as applicable stage comes closer to the
antenna input. The final stage of I.F. varies its amplification immediately by the
AGC detection voltage resulting in uniform level received signal, dependent on
the transient response. That is, if the received signal suddenly increases, the
received output would first be controlled for uniform output by the I.F. final
stage, then step by step the AGC is applied to earlier stages, finally affecting
the AGC on the final stage to be smaller. For AM reception, there is already
AGC voltage due to carrier, and the AGC is averaged independent of the
modulation level.
k. S-meter, Squelch
TThe output of IC106C is sent to the CPU to display the S-meter. The output
signal of IC106C is fed to pin IC106D. The voltage of pin No.13 of IC106D is
determined by the squelch VR of front unit. Comparing with this voltage, the
squelch is opened or closed. During the check operation the CPU output
decreases the voltage of squelch VR in front side to open the squelch deliberately. The squelch output controls the IC106C, at the same time it is provided
to the front unit to light RX LED.
l. Noise Blanker
This circuit eliminates the pulse noise of a car, etc. Because the noise emitting
time is short, in this duration the operation of receiver is stopped to prevent the
unit from emitting a noise. The pulse noise is delayed when it is passed through
the narrow band filter, and the emitting time becomes longer. It makes difficult
to eliminate the noise, so it is necessary to eliminate the noise in the earlier
stage. A part of the second mixer output, whose band width is limited, is
amplified in Q118, Q114, Q115, and Q116. The signal is detected in D115 and
D118, and the AGC voltage is applied to Q115, Q114 and Q116.
The charge time constant of this AGC is determined by R192 and C201, and
also the discharge constant is determined by R191+R192, C201. The voltage
of AGC does not rise suddenly because of the charge constant, so that this
voltage is not applied to almost all the short signals such as pulse noise, but is
applied to the continuous signals such as receiving signal and amplifier gain is
decreased.nal.

The input signal from microphone goes thru mic-gain pot the VR117 and is fed
to a low noise amp the Q180. At the mic terminal there is an 5V bias thru the
R109 for providing voltage to certain type of mics. The IC119A has the gain
(about 20dB) which is determined by the R492 and R512. When in FM mode,
the gain increases by about 35dB due to the R494 parallel to the R512 thru the
Q175, and by the C465 the lower cut-off frequency is increased thereby
activating pre-emphasis and limiter. When in SSB or AM, if the speech
compressor is turned ON, the gain increases by about 35dB due to the C460,
R487, and Q172, and the IC119:A works as a limiter. The C460 cuts off lower
spectrum portion and the audio quality becomes suitable for speech compression. The in FM, the gain is adequately obtained and there is no effect of
speech compression. If the FM sub-tone is activated, the output of the IC119:A
pin No.1 is voltage divided by the R499 and R509, and the sub-tone fed thru
the R509. The IC119:B is a low pass filter which works as a splatter filter when
in FM and a low pass filter when speech compressor is in use. The output is
either fed to PLL circuit for FM modulating, or to the IC105 for balanced
modulation. The output of the IC105 is muted by the Q178 when in CW or FM.
IC105 is the balanced mixer, and the carrier is suppressed in SSB mode. To
get more ratio or carrier suppression, the balance adjustment of VR102 and
VR103 are applied. The carrier is necessary in CW/FM/AM mode, so the input
of Pin7 is made unbalanced by applying the DC voltage to obtain the carrier.
By applying the DC in AM/FM mode, or by keying in CW mode, the balance is
broken to obtain the carrier wave. VR115 is used for the adjustment or carrier
level in AM/FM mode. VR118 is used for the adjustment of carrier level in CW
mode. In the AM mode, the DC and modulation is added simultaneously. In
SSB mode, the modulation is added by R488. In AM mode, D174 is DC-biased
and turned ON. Then the attenuator consisting of R488 and R443 or R523
limits the modulation.
The output of the IC105 goes thru a temperature compensating thermistor
TH101 and the D128 and is fed to bandwidth limiting I.F. filter. Pulling up
cathode of the D128 when in Tx (and L when in Rx) makes Tx/Rx isolation
better. When in SSB mode, the signal becomes DSB without the carrier.
Switching of the filters is done by the diode switching mentioned before. For
each respective mode, filters are used as follows.
Having passed the filter, the signal passes thru a switching diode (D110), amp
(Q104), and the D108, and thru the second mixer in reverse direction of Rx,
making 71.75 MHz signal. The Q107 depends on CW keying that improves
isolation when CW key is up. An ALC voltage is applied on the second gate of
the Q104. Signals from 71.295MHz local oscillator and reverse heterodyne are
filtered by the XF102. The signal is amplified by the Q614 and is input to a
balanced mixer. (D111).
e. Transmitter First Mixer
The first transmit mixer comprising of the Q103, Q108, L104 and L117 is a
balanced type mixer and input about 3dBm of local oscillator
(71.75MHz+TxFreq) to obtain the wanted frequency. The signal converted to
the wanted frequency by the first Tx mixer is passed thru an LPF to filter out the
local frequency and image components before it is input to the Tx preamp.
f. Tx Pre AMP
The Q105 is a wide band amplifier. It can put out high power with saturating
output of about + 13dBm and more than 20dB gain. Inserting attenuators on
both the input and output make it widen its range with more stability. The output
at the Transmitter First Mixer is about 0dBm when the transmitter power is
100W.
g. CW Keying Circuit
By keying, the Q165 is turned on to the base of the Q162 in the main unit is
pulled to Low which causes the collector to output a voltage. This output
controls all the circuit which operates by CW keying. The output of the Q162
collector goes thru the D180, IC105, VR103, and D126 and by applying a DC
voltage to the balanced mixer it unbalances the mixer and generates a carrier.
VR118 determines the CW waveform of rising edges and falling edges by
adjusting the carrier level in R525 and C488. At the same time, the Q159 is
turned ON to turn OFF the Q107 isolating in keying. The C428 makes the Q107
OFF duration longer than keying duration to avoid effects to the output
waveform. By the D180 a voltage is input to pin No.10 of the IC119:C, and by
the output from pin NO.8 the Q161 is turned ON and the D171 pulling the PTT
line down to Low brings the transmitter ON. The capacitors at the input of pin
No.10 of the IC119:C (C246, C247) determines transmit time delay after stop
of keying. The BK1, BK2, and BK3 are 3 bit break-in time constant voltages
which are combined by the combination of the R469, R470 and R471 as D/A
for obtaining 8 levels of voltage. When all of the BK1, BK2, and BK3 are low,
the status if full-break-in, when more than one of the BK1, BK2, and BK3 have
voltage the status is semi-break-in and the break-in time fastest when all of
them have voltage. When in full-break-in, each of the BK1, BK2, and BK3,
voltages are low hence the Q164 is OFF, making a very fast discharge
time-constant with the C431 alone. When either of several of the BK1, BK2, or
BK3 has voltage, the Q164 would turn ON and the C434 would be added
parallel to the C431 making the time-constant longer which determines the
delay time for semi-break-in. There are 7 levels of semi-break-in voltages out
of the BK1, BK2, and BK3, that is fed to the IC119:C as comparative voltage to
change the discharge time constant. Thus the time constant is the shortest if all
of the BK1, BK2 ,BK3 outputs voltage. When in AUTO-break-in, the output is
from BK1 only, and the comparative voltage for the IC119:C is controlled with
the output voltage of the IC119:D. The keying output when in AUTO mode is
output with each keying using the one-shot multi-vibrator comprising of the
IC120:A and B. Hence the average value of the IC120:A output voltage would
be proportional to average speed of keying. To obtain average voltage, the
R463 and C432, etc. are used for integrating, and the output is DC amplified by
the IC119:D whose output is used as comparative voltage for keying. The
D182 is for turning OFF when in AUTO mode; when AUTO is low, the voltage
charging the C432 is shorted and AUTO is stopped.
6
The D179 and R457 help to follow speeding up the keying, while the D176 and
R458 determine the discharging time constant in transmission and elongate
the time constant in reception so that it compensates the time constant
recovery during the reception. By doing this, the circuit can follow the keying
speed; transmission can continue between letters; and reception can take
place between words. The circuit is good typically between 30 characters per
minute to 200 characters per minute.
h. Power Control/ALC Circuit
The forward voltage obtained in the PA unit correspondent with transmit power
is input to the IC118:A for invert amplification. At the non-inverting input there
is a voltage, and the output voltage is shifted by the non-inverted input voltage.
There is already about 4.0V on the ALC line which is applied to the second gate
of amplification stage that is under ALC control. When a forward voltage is
applied, the output voltage of the IC118:A goes down, and when becomes
lower than about 3V, the D160 lowers the voltage of the ALC line. The VR112
is for adjusting the Tx output to 100W (High power). The VR119 is for adjusting
the Tx output to 10W (Low power). The VR120 is for adjusting the Tx output to
1W (super Low power). By I is soldering, Q166 turns ON and by having the
VR114 in parallel the voltage is brought down to result in 50W. When in AM,
the R448 comes in parallel to lower the output to 40W. When in Low power, the
LOW line brings the R528 and VR119 in parallel to lower the voltage. When in
super Low power, the slow line brings the R529 and VR120 in parallel to lower
the voltage. The Q158 and VR113 are for making the (antenna matcher) TUNE
output to 10W output. Necessary output, however, may be different depending
on the automatic tuner. When the SWR is high, reflected voltage turns on the
Q158 lowering the power. The Q158 is activated from SWR 3 approximately.
i. Overcurrent Protection
The voltage difference detected in the PA unit by the final collector current us
differentially amplified by the IC118:B. The output voltage lowers as current
increases and at some point the ALC line is pulled down thru the D160 lowering
the output power. The operating point is determined by the VR110.
2. PA Unit
a. Power Amp
The signal input is amplified by the Q803 to about 100mW. By having the idling
current of about 100mA the amplification is A-class. With the feedback the
frequency response is compensated, and with a capacitor parallel to the
emitter resistor the frequency is compensated totally. Then the signal is
amplified to about 5 watt with the Q801 and Q805 (RD16HHF1) where the
idling current is 800mA (adjusted with the VR804) in push-pull configuration.
The D804 and D805 is thermally contacting the Q801 and Q805 to compensate
idling temperature.
b. Final Power Amp
There is about 1.6A of idling current in the final amp circuit consisting of the
Q802 and Q804 (RD100HHF1). The D801 and D802 are thermally conducting
with the Q802 and Q804 for temperature compensation. Feedbacks exist thru
the R804 and R822 from collector side averaging the gain in a wide range. The
output of 100W goes to the filter circuit. The collector current of the Q802/Q804
is detected due to the voltage drop caused by resistance of the FB803 and
L801, and is output to the main unit.
c. Cooling Fan Control
The fan is controlled under the temperature of the Q802 and Q804 which is
sensed by a thermistor (TH801). While transmitting, due to temperature rise,
the resistance of the TH801 goes down and voltage of inverted input for the Pin
No.1 of IC101 (MAIN UNIT) goes down. The IC101 (Pin No.1) input is applied
a voltage corresponding to its voltage thus is compared. When the temperature
is over 50 degrees Celsius approximately, the inverted-input voltage would go
down with comparative voltage, and by the comparator output voltage of the
Pin No.74 of IC101, the Q183 is turned ON and the fan starts running.
d. Protection Circuit
As a protection for the final power amp, power down circuits detecting SWR
excessive current, and temperature rise have been installed.
j. RF meter circuit, ALC indication
The forward voltage is amplified by the IC118:D for driving the meter. The
D164, R433 and C419 are for instant peak-holding to show the meter more
visible. The D163 and D136 switch to S-meter. The ALC voltage is invert
amplified by the IC118:C. The output voltage is divided from 8V thereby
lowering the feedback resistance so that tolerance caused by bias-leakage is
minimized; further this feedback resistor lets some current to the R423 to
obtain 4.0V to the ALC line. The output is fed to the base of the Q150, leading
to the front unit tell the CPU to switch Tx and Rx besides illuminating the Tx
LED.
3) Peripheral Circuits
1. Beep and Sidetone Circuit
Sidetone is output by the STON line at pin No.24 of the CPU (MAIM UNIT) in
square wave. Beep is output by the beep line at pin No.16 of the CPU (MAIN
UNIT) in square wave. The sidetone frequency is switchable in the range of
400Hz to 1kHz. The VR1 is the volume control put which leads to the AP amp.
5. Low Pass Filter
The output from the final power amp goes through the low pass filter removing
the harmonics. The input/output for this filter is switched with a relay, and the
filters not used are shorted to ground thru relays. The LPF control utilizes the
control voltage for the BPF in the main unit. Each LPF is made of 5 pole Chebyshev filters, attenuating the second and higher order harmonics by more than
40dB.
2. Tune Circuit
At the start of the tuning, the TUNE voltage comes out by which the one-shot
multi-vibrator operates and by the Q168 approximately 8V is output to
command the external auto tuner as a starting signal. Separately, an output
which goes low while tuning is created by the Q169 using the TUNE voltage.
When the starting signal is received by the external auto tuner (e.g. EDX-2),
the tuner outputs the said (low) output at TKEY terminal. The radio’s CPU
monitors the TKEY terminal and while the voltage is at low level the radio is put
to the TUNE mode. If the TKEY terminal is low for more than 20 seconds, the
CPU releases the TUNE mode. During the TUNE mode the radio transmits in
AM mode besides microphone is muted and the carrier is suppressed at 10W
(adjustable).
3. Regulated Power Supply
The IC115 is a regulated power supply of 8V output. The voltage necessary for
transmission, namely T8V is created by the Q149, and for reception R8V by the
Q152. The IC117, Q151 and Q155 are Tx/Rx control. When PTT line is
grounded at the output of the Q161 by mic’s PTT or CW keying, a High level is
output from the IC117:C, and buffered by the Q150 the output is sent to the
CPU in the front unit for Tx/Rx switching. The IC117:C, having delayed the
rising of reception with the R413, C408, and D158, controls Q149 with Q151.
When transmitting, the current flows from 13.8V thru the R410 and D156, and
since the Q149’s base voltage is higher by one diode difference than 8V, the
emitter output will be just 8V. When transmitting, the Q151 is turned ON thus
the Q149’s base voltage will be 0V, resulting no output on T8V line. When
receiving, the T8V line is shorted by the D157 to discharge remaining charges
in the capacitors on T8V line. The Q152 while receiving, similarly as T8V line,
has currents coming thru the D167 and R432 from the 13.8V line, and since the
base voltage of the Q152 is higher by one diode voltage than 8V, the base
voltage of the Q152 will be 0V hence no output on R8V line. When transmitting,
the R8V line is shorted by the D168 to discharge remaining charges in the
capacitors on R8V line. The input to the IC117:D, which goes low when
reception is started, is delayed with the R421 and C412, then inverted by the
IC117:B, followed by the Q155 to control R8V. If a voltage is applied to pin No.8
of IC117:C, the output at pin No.10 would vary with PTT going Low, hence a
PTT Lock is activated.

L4 14.5MHz~21.5MHz BPF6 18,21MHz band
L5 21.5MHz~30.0MHz BPF7 24,28MHz band
The transmitting signal, having removed spurious contents by the LPF goes
thru the power detection circuit and
Tx/Rx switching relay.
6. Power Detection Circuit
The L901 is made by bifilar winding on a toroidal core in 10 turns. Hence the
two sides will have 20 turns with a center tap. When the jumper wire goes thru
the hole of the core, this itself is considered one turn having 1:20 transformer.
Since there are the R902 and R904 in parallel, it effectively means 50 ohm load
existing on both ends. For the jumper wire, it is equivalent to having 50Ω/
(20*20)=0.125Ω resistor existing in series. Hence when outputting 100W, the
voltage applied to ends of the said quasi-resistor is:
0.125/(50+0.125)* (100*50) =0.176V
Since the turn ratio is 20:1, the voltage between the L901 is [0.176*20=3.52V]
The center tap of the coil has the voltage a half of the above therefore the
current will flow reversely to that in the jumper wire. A voltage divided by the
TC901 and C904 is applied to the center tap, the voltage being in phase with
that in the jumper wire. If the voltage is adjusted with the TC901 to be equal to
the enter tap voltage, the R908 would have the voltages in phase adding each
other, and the R909 would have inverted phase canceling each other. If the
antenna impedance changes, there would be a differential voltage on the R909
without having cancellation due to phase or voltage difference hence having a
DC voltage after passing thru the D902. In this way, the voltage applied on the
R913 is proportional to the output power (forward voltage) and on the R914 is
to the reflected power (reflected voltage). Thus the output and reflected powers
are detected and in the main unit the power is controlled.
4. Mode Voltage Functions Control, BPF/LPF Switching
The CPU (MAIN UNIT) is controlling the mode voltage, preamp On/Off, Attenuator, Power, BPF/LPF switching, AGC, break-in, and PTT-Lock. For each
mode, the Q167, Q170, Q171, Q177, Q179, Q181 and Q182 are turned on
providing 8V.

7. Power Switch
Pressing the SW1 turns the RL801 contact ON and 13.8V is supplied. At the
same time, the Q101 is turned onand 5V is supplied.

8. Power Supply and Resetting
The IC102, resetting IC for resetting the CPU, turns on and off at 4.5V. When
OFF (0V) the CPU resets. Then the IC1004’s reset signal goes Low and the
CPU stops. The IC116 is the power supply for the CPU, which is made
separate in order for the voltage to sustain 5V until the data is written to the
EEPROM and resetting signal is input.
9. Dimmer
A regulated power supply of 8V is made of the IC115. The voltage of 8V is
supplied to D3, D4, D5 and D6. The CPU’s EN output is a pulse, which current
value from D3 to D6 is set. When the illumination is at the highest intensity, the
EN output is constant at 5V.
10. LCD
The CPU turns ON the LCD via segment and common terminals with 1/4 the
duty and 1/3 the bias, at the frame frequency of 125Hz.
11. Tone
The CPU (IC101) is equipped with an internal tone encoder. The tone signal
(67.0 to 250.3Hz) is output from pin 45 of CPU. The output of the CPU leading
to the mic amp LPF having mixed with audio signal. The tone is output only
when in FM mode.
12. Electronic Keye
The CPU (IC101) is activated by input to pin No.68 for dots, and pin No.69 for
dash. When ElecKey is ON, the electronic keyer in ON, and when Eleckey is
OFF the keying is of semi-automatic (the “bug key”) operation.
13. Cloning
The pin 58 of CPU is clone data transmission, and the pin 57 of CPU is
receiving data. Each data is of one line, and input/output is done thru JK2 on
the front unit.
15. SDR Mode
In SDR receiving, 26th pin(SDR) of CPU (IC101) becomes H. Through the
analog switch IC1014 , the received signal of 455KHz, which is amplified by
Q110 then amplified again by Q1002.
On the other hand, BFO (1.82MHz) signal generated by IC604 is divided into
1/4 and in-phase and quadrature signals of 455KHz. This standard signal and
receiving signal amplified by Q1002 are mixed at IC1003 and output as I/Q
signal to JK1003.
In SDR transmitting, the 27th pin(SDT) of the CPU (IC101) becomes H. The I/Q
mixture signal with ±12KHz carrier frequencies input through the center
terminal of JK1004 goes through IC1017 internal amp circuit and IC1004 buffer
amp. This signal is mixed with a signal of 467KHz came from BFO in a mixer
circuit of Q1016, then finally output as IF signal of 455KHz.
Such 455KHz signal will be output through the same circuit and transmitted
through the 455KHz IF filter of each modes. In SDR operation, when the mode
is changed, the CPU generates appropriate mode signal accordingly.
16. VOX Circuit
After amplification in IC123 operational amplifier, the signal from the
microphone is rectified to a DC voltage at D1007, D191.
The rectified voltage that is applied to the CPU 81 pin analog input, transmits
with microphone sensitivity determined by the voltage value.
17. DATA VOX circuit
The data signal input through the center terminal of JK1004 is amplified by
IC1018 then goes through the IC1007 and IC119 microphone amp, passes the
same modulation line as a voice signal and transmitted as a PSK signal.
To transmit, the data signal is rectified by D1002 and D1004, then the rectified
signal toggles Q1011 and inputs L to the 77th pin of the CPU
14. Miscellaneous
The X1 is a ceramic resonator of 8MHz carefully chosen on its harmonics not
interfering on amateur bands. For the front panel switches, the Y0, Y1, Y2 and
Y3 with regard to the DB0~DB5 are monitored to determine which key is
pressed. On the terminals of RIT and IF-Shift pots, 5V is applied and the
voltage at the input of A/D determines the positions of these pots. The Q1 is for
transmit detection whose output from the main unit and illuminating the Tx
LED. For this reason it cannot be directly input to the CPU therefore the change
is only either on or off. The Q2 is the squelch output from the main unit which
illuminates the Rx LED.
4) PLL Synthesizer circuits
1. Reference frequency oscillator circuit
The reference oscillation frequency for the PLL of the second local oscillator
reference and DDS clock, etc. is set at 16.777216MHz. The signal is oscillated
by the X601, Q609, and Q611 buffered with the Q608. It is used for the DDS
clock for BFO oscillation. It is further divided 1/2064 with the IC606 to
8.128496KHz for the second local oscillator PLL (IC606) reference frequency.
2. First Local Oscillator
The Q605 is a Hartley oscillator with the Q605 gate grounded which works as
VCO with the oscillation frequency range of 71.75 to 106.75MHz. The Q601
eliminates ripples for stabilizing the power supply, while the Q604 is a buffer
circuit. The output is divided 1/8 with the IC610 and divided 1/5 with the IC611,
hence 1/4 of the first local oscillator frequency (about 1.8 to 2.5MHz) is input to
the phase comparator IC607. Meanwhile the DDS in the IC603 can output in
0.25Hz step, and with a D/A converter of 10bit and LPF, a sinusoidal wave that
is 1/40 of the first local frequency can be obtained. This output, with the phase
comparator will control the signal. The oscillator output frequency will be 10Hz
patch (0.25*40), The IC607 output goes thru a loop filter which is made of high
response, low noise op-amp inside the IC601A; controlling the D602, the
oscillation frequency is controlled. To widen the lock range, some voltages are
supplied to cathodes of the D602. The locking voltage applicable to the anode
of the D602 is in a wide range of 2V to +6V. The IC602 and the Q603 are the
necessary negative voltage, and about -6.5V is attained.
3. Second Local Oscillator
The reference oscillation frequency input to the IC606 is 8.388608MHz which
is divided 1/2064 inside, and the comparison frequency is about 8.128496KHz.
The Q615 is a VCO with 71.295 MHz which is buffered with Q616. The output
is amplified by the amplifier Q620, and dividing it 1/8771 in the IC606, it is fed
to a phase comparator and thru a loop filter, the oscillation frequency is output,
controlled by the D605. Also, this output is amplified by the amplifier Q614 and
fed to the second mixer circuit. When transmitting FM, the anode of the D605
will be superimposed by the modulating signal from the microphone, modulating into FM signal. When in FM mode, the C697 is added to a loop filter by the
Q618, having the time constant larger and the control under the modulation is
unable, a modulated signal is created thru the VCO. The IC605 is an analog
switch which enables frequency modulation on the VCO only when in FM
mode.
4. I.F. Shifting (∆IF)
9
When in SSB or CW, by varying the first local and BFO interlocked, it is
possible to change the relative receiving bandwidth without changing the
receiving frequency. The range for the I.F. shifting for DX-SR8 is +/-1.5kHz in
50Hz pitch.
