UHF MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS
This service manual describes the latest technical
information for the IC-F6011, IC-F6012, IC-F6013,
IC-F6013H UHF MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS, at the time of
publication.
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than the specified voltage.
This will ruin the transceiver.
DO NOT expose the transceiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW) to
the antenna connector. This could damage the transceiver’s
front-end.
To upgrade quality, any electrical or mechanical parts
and internal circuits are subject to change without notice
or obligation.

SECTION 5. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
5-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS
RF CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
RF signal from the antenna is passed through the LPF (as
the harmonic filter for transmitting) and antenna SW (D3,
D5, D7), and then applied to the RX BPF circuit.
The applied RX signal is passed through the 3-staged tuned
BPF (D4, D8) to remove unwanted out-of-band signals, and
amplified by the low-noise RF AMP (Q2), and then applied
to the 1st mixer (Q3) through another 3-staged tuned BPF
(D9, D10, D19).
Total of 5 stage BPFs are tuned to the RX frequency by the
tuning voltage “T1” and “T2” from the D/A converter (IC20),
to obtain required IMD characteristic.
• RF CIRCUITS
1ST IF CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The RX signal from the BPF is mixed with the 1st LO signal
to be converted into the 46.35 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 1st LO signal is generated by the RX VCO (Q14, D33,
D52), and passed through the LO SW (D15) and attenuator,
and then applied to the 1st mixer (Q3)
The converted 1st IF signal is filtered by the crystal filter (FI1)
and amplified by the 1st IF AMP (Q4), then applied to the IF
demodulator IC (IC1).
• 1ST IF CIRCUITS
2ND IF AND DEMODULATOR CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The amplified 1st IF signal is mixed with the 2nd LO signal
at the internal 2nd IF mixer of the IF demodulator IC (IC1),
to obtain the 450 kHz 2nd IF signal.
The 15.3 MHz signal generated by the reference oscillator
(X2) is passed through the filter AMP (Q34, L33, L35,
C305–C308) to extract the 45.9 MHz 3rd harmonic
component. The 45.9 MHz signal is then applied to the pin
2 of IF demodulator IC (IC1) as the 2nd LO signal.
The converted 2nd IF signal is output from the pin 3 of IF
demodulator IC (IC1), and filtered by the ceramic filters
(FI2 and FI6 for Narrow mode; FI2 only for Wide mode) to
remove unwanted out-of-band signals, and then applied to
the internal frequency-demodulator of IF demodulator IC
(IC1) from pin 5.
The demodulator is a quadrature type which uses X1 as the
phase shifter.
The frequency-demodulated AF signal is output from pin 9 to
AF circuits.

AF CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The demodulated AF signal from the IF demodulator IC (IC1)
is amplified by the AMP (IC21), filtered by the HPF (IC16),
and then passed through the AF line SW (IC14) and LPF
(IC16). The filtered AF signal is adjusted in level (=loudness)
by the D/A converter (IC18), and applied to the AF AMP
(IC15) through the AF line SW (IC14).
The amplified AF signal is applied to the AF power AMP (IC8)
and power-amplified to obtain AF output level.
The power-amplified AF signal is output from the external
speaker jack (J4) on the rear panel, or applied to the
internal speaker on the FRONT UNIT, through the external
speaker jack (J4).

SIGNALING (DECODING) (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
Demodulated signal from the pin 9 of the IF demodulator
IC (IC1) is passed through the LPF to extract tone signals
contained in the demodulated signal.
2/5 tone signal is extracted by the LPF (IC16). CTCSS/
DTCS signals are extracted by the LPF (Q39).
These extracted tone signal is applied to the CPU (FRONT
UNIT: IC1) for decoding.

5-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
MIC AMPLIFIER (FRONT UNIT)
Audio signal from the connected microphone is applied to
the MIC AMP (IC5), through the microphone connector (J1).
The amplifi ed MIC signal is applied to the MAIN-A/-B UNIT.
TX AF CIRCUITS (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The MIC signal from the FRONT UNIT is passed through
the D/A converter (as a MIC gain controller; IC18) for level
adjustment, and applied to the limiter AMP which is also
rolled to the pre-emphasis circuit (IC16).
• TX AF CIRCUITS
MIC MUTE SWITCH (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The pre-emphasized MIC signal is passed through the MIC
mute SW (IC14).
While receiving or transmitting DTMF, 2/5 tone and BIIS
signals, the MIC mute SW (IC14) cuts the MIC line off, and
is controlled by “MMUT” signal from the expander (IC17).
SPLATTER FILTER (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
The MIC signal from the MIC mute SW (IC14) is applied to
the splatter fi lter (IC16).
The splatter filter (IC16) is also used as the AF Summing
AMP for tone signal modulation (CTCSS, 2/5 TONE).
MODULATION CIRCUIT (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
MIC signal from the splatter filter (IC16) is level-adjusted
(=deviation adjustment) by the D/A converter (IC18), and
applied to the TX VCO (Q13, D16, D18), through the
modulation mute SW (IC14) as the modulation signal.
The MIC signal is also applied to the reference frequency
oscillator (X2) as the modulation signal, through D/A
converter (IC18) and REF AMP (IC19).
• MODULATION CIRCUITS
CTCSS/DTCS SIGNALS ENCODING (FRONT UNIT)
The CTCSS/DTCS encoding signal from the CPU (IC1)
“CENC0–CENC2” is passed through the LPF (IC5) for
waveform conversion, and applied to the MAIN UNIT as tone
modulation signal.
2/5 TONE, DTMF ENCODING (FRONT UNIT)
Encoding signal from the CPU (IC1) named “SENC,” is
passed through the LPF (IC5), and applied to the MAIN
UNIT as tone modulation signal.

The frequency-modulated signal from the TX VCO is bufferamplifi ed by two buffers (Q11 and Q10), and applied to the
YGR AMP (Q9) as the TX signal through the LO SW (D14).
The TX signal is sequentially amplified by the YGR AMP
(Q9) and drive AMP (Q8). The amplified signal is applied
to the FET HPA module (IC3) through the LPF, and poweramplifi ed to obtain TX output power level.
The power-amplified TX signal is passed through the
antenna SW (D3) and LPF as a harmonic filter, and then fed
to the antenna.
APC CIRCUIT (MAIN-A/-B UNIT)
A portion of TX signal rectified by D1, D11 and D12 on
the TX line to detect TX power level. The rectified voltage
is applied to the APC AMP (IC2), and the APC AMP
controls the gain of drive AMP (Q8) and HPA module (IC3)
automatically by comparing the rectified voltage and the
power setting voltage "T1."
