3. Scan Operating
3-1. System scan
System scan can be selected with the “Scan” key by pro-
gramming the scan feature. When the “Scan” key is
pressed and the “SCN”’ mark appears, scan mode in entered. Scanning starts from the system following the currently displayed system. When a call is received, scanning
stops, and the system and group are displayed.
When the system knob or programming key is touched
during scanning, the scan stops and the revert system or
group can be changed. Scanning resumes one second after
the key is released.
System scan consists of the following 2 types.
■ Fix system scan
All the set systems except locked-out ones are scanned.
If the DEL/ADD feature is assigned to the programmable
key, it can be controlled from the front panel.
P (Priority) indicator
The P indicator ( ) appears when a selected channel is
programmed as priority, in conventional operation.
MON (Monitor) indicator
The MON indicator appears when the button programmed as MONITOR is pressed.
SVC (Service) indicator
This icon is not used on this transceiver.
SCN (Scan) indicator
The SCN indicator appears when using Scan mode.
LO indicator
Appears when low power is selected.
Handset indicator
The handset indicator ( ) appears when the selected
group is programmed as telephone IDs.
MAIL indicator
Flashes when a status message (FleetSync™) is received. Lights when a status message is stored in the
stack memory.
■ List type system scan
A scan list can be set for each system.
The list to be scanned can be changed by changing the
display system.
If many system have been set, the scan speed can be
increased by narrowing the systems to be scanned with
scan lists.
3-2. System lockout
The system lockout feature is used to lock systems out
of the scan sequence, and can be selected by programming
in the following two ways:
■ Fixed lockout
The system to be locked out is selected by programming.
When a locked system is selected, the Delete (
appears on the left of the SYSTEM indicator. The revert system is scanned even if it is locked out. If there is a locked
system, the Delete (
ning.
) indicator flashes during fixed scan-
) indicator
■ User selectable lockout
If the scan lockout feature is programmed to a key, the
user can lock systems out of the scan sequence with the
key. To lock a system out of the scan sequence, press the

3-3. Drop-out delay time (Scan resume time)
If a call is received during scan, the scan stops. The scan
resume time can be programmed as 0 to 300 seconds in
one-second increments. The default value is 3 seconds.
3-4. Dwell time
The dwell time is the time after transmission ends until
the scan resumes in scan mode. It can be set 0 to 300 seconds by programming. The default value is 3 seconds.
3-5. System/Group revert
System/Group revert can be programmed for one of the
following;
■ Last called revert
The system or group changes to the revert system or
group when a call is received with the system or group being scanned.
■ Last used revert
If a system/group call is received during scanning and the
PTT button is pressed for transmission and response within
the drop out delay time, the system or group is assigned as
the new revert system or group.
■ Selected revert
If the system/group was changed while scanning, the
newly selected system/group.
■ Selected + Talkback
If the system/group was changed while scanning, the
newly selected system/group. The transceiver “talks back”
on the current receive group.
3-6. Scan message wait
The time for staying with the home repeater that receives a signal during system scan and monitoring data
messages can be programmed. If there is no signal from the
home repeater, the system is scanned for about 50ms. If
there is a signal, three data messages are monitored. Normally, three data messages are monitored for each system,
and it can be increased in multiples of three data messages
per line to up to eight lines.
If the repeater data message indicates that there is no
call, data monitoring is terminated and the home repeater of
the next system is scanned.
3-7. Group scan operation
Group scan can be programmed for each group. In addition to the ID codes of the selected group, the ID codes of
the other groups that are permitted for group scan are decoded. (The two fixed ID and block decode codes are always
decoded.)
If, during group scanning, a call is received with one of
the selectable group ID codes for which group scan is enabled, the group display indicates the group number that the
call came in with. That group then becomes the new selected group. Group scan resumes after the specified dropout delay time or dwell time shared by the system scan
elapses.
3-8. In Conventional system.
If QT or DQT is set for the channel, the channels, including signalling, are scanned.
In case of the priority group is set in conventional system, if a group scan (including group scan during a system
scan) temporarily stops (receiving) in a group that does not
have priority, a look back is performed to the priority group.
Look back is performed according to the look back time A
and B settings. If a call is received on the priority group, reception immediately switches to the priority group.
4. Details of Features
4-1. Time-out timer
The time-out timer can be programmed in 15 seconds
increments from 15 seconds to ten minutes. If the transmitter is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed
time, the transmitter is disabled and a warning tone sounds
while the PTT button is held down. The alert tone stops
when the PTT button is released.
4-2. Sub LCD
You can use 3-digit the display to display the system
number, channel number or group number. It is useful when
the main (12-digit) display indicates system, group or channel name or other functions.
4-3. Selective Call Alert LED
You can select whether or not the LED on the transceiver
flashes in an orange color when selective call was occurred.
4-4. PTT ID
PTT ID provides a DTMF ANI or MSK ID to be sent with
every time PTT (connect ID at beginning of transmission,
disconnect ID at end of transmission, or both).
You can program PTT ID “on” or “off” for each group
channel (DTMF). The contents of ID are programmed for
each transceiver.
The transceiver is capable to have ID. The format is
DTMF. The timing that the transceiver sends ID is programmable.
BOT : Connect ID is sent on beginning of transmission.
EOT : Disconnect ID is sent on end of transmission.
Both : Connect ID is sent on beginning of transmission
and disconnect ID is sent on end of transmission.
There is also “PTT ID” setting for each channel.

OPERATING FEATURES
TK-480/481
4-5. Radio password
When the password is set in the transceiver, user can not
use the transceiver unless enter the correct password.
This code can be up to 6 digits from 0 to 9 and input with
the keypad or selector, and “S” key.
4-6. Battery Warning
This transceiver has battery warning feature. If the low
voltage is detected during transmission, the transceiver
warns it by flashing red “LED”.
Then more low voltage is detected during transmission,
the transceiver stops transmission and warns it by flashing
red “LED” and beep.
Please notice “standard” for the battery exchange,
charging time by flashing red LED and beep.
4-7. Minimum Volume
The minimum volume is programmable (off (0) to 31).
The transceiver remains the minimum volume level however the mechanical volume position is set to zero.
4-8. Call indicator
The call indicator can be programmed for each group. In
trunked system, it can be set to respond to a selectable decode ID or one of two fixed IDs, except block IDs. When a
call is received with a selectable decode ID, the call indicator
flashes. When a call is received with a fixed ID, the call indicator lights continuously.
On a conventional system, the call indicator can be programmed to light for each QT or DQT code. It keeps flashing
while a call is being received. It is turned off by pressing any
front panel key.
4-9. Free system ringback
This feature is available only when a telephone interconnected ID code is selected. If a busy tone sounds when the
PTT button is pressed, the transceiver enters this mode automatically.
When the PTT button is released, a beep sounds for
400ms to indicate that the mode has been entered. If the
scan is on, it is resumed (the “SCN” mark goes on). When
any repeater becomes available, a ringing tone sounds and
this mode ends.
The mode is terminated when the system, group, scan,
PTT, key is changed.
4-10. System search
This feature can be programmed to automatically access
other programmed systems when the selected system cannot be accessed. If an intercept tone sounds when the PTT
button is pressed after setting the mode, the transceiver
has entered the mode.
If the group ID is a telephone interconnect ID, the transceiver then attempts to access, in succession, other systems that have a telephone interconnect ID in the revert
group location. If the group ID is a dispatch ID, the transceiver attempts to access other systems that have a dispatch ID programmed in the revert group location.
If there is no system to be accessed, an intercept tone
sounds, the mode is terminated, and the transceiver returns
to the first system. If the access is successful, the mode is
terminated, and the searched system becomes the new selected system (If during scanning, the scan stops).
4-11. Transpond
This feature can be programmed to turn on and off for
each group. If the ID of the group for which transpond is
enabled is received, two data messages (transmit ID and
turn-off code) are automatically transmitted if the PTT button is not pressed as a response within the time set (0 to
300 seconds in 1-second increments). If the PTT button is
pressed within the time, the transpond is not preformed.
4-12. Transmit inhibit
The transceiver can be programmed with a transmit inhibit block of ID codes. If an ID code within this block is decoded the preset time before the PTT button is pressed,
transmission is inhibited. The BUSY indicator lights and a
busy tone sounds until the PTT button is released to indicate
that transmission is not possible (except clear-to talk mode).
Transmission with the group for which the encode ID is
not set is inhibited, and the busy tone is output while the
PTT button is held down, regardless of the clear-to -talk setting.
4-13. Auto TEL
A telephone interconnect call can be made by simply
pressing the key by assigning this feature to the key. This
feature accesses the TEL channel of the available system
automatically.
When the key is pressed, a queue tone is output, and the
“AUTO TEL” appears on the alphanumeric display along
with a flashing handset indicator (
mode has been entered. If the TEL ID is set for the revert
system, the TEL channel of that system is accessed. If all
TEL channels are busy, an attempt is made to access the
TEL channels of another system in which the TEL ID code
has been programmed. It is repeated for 60 seconds until
the access succeeds. If the access succeeds, a dial tone
returns from the repeater. If the key is pressed again when
the queue tone is sounding, this mode is canceled.
If the access fails after 60 seconds, a deny tone is output
and this mode is terminated. When the talk ends, the revert
system/group returns. When the scan mode is effective, the
scan resumes. The Auto TEL feature can be programmed to
turn on or off for each system.
) to indicate that this
■ ARQ mode
If affects Trunking mode only. Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) mode is a manner to minimize the air traffic of
data communication. Also, it enables to occupy the trunking
repeater channel for the data communication period.
■ Data TX with QT/DQT
Whether programmed QT/DQT is modulated or not with
a data transmission except for Selcall. A radio unit can receive a data message regardless of QT/DQT if the receiving
unit is not scanning.

5-1. DTMF
Built-in DTMF decoder is available for option signalling.
It is possible to use individual call, group call, D.B.D.
(Dead Beat Disable). D.B.D. is used with DTMF only.
If the option signalling matches, a predetermined action
will occur.
If option signalling matches on a group which is set up
with option signalling, the option signalling indicator (
flash and option signalling will be released. The transpond
or alert tone will sound.
If the selective call alert LED is set up, the orange LED
will flash.
While option signalling matches (or if option signalling is
deactivated when you are transmitting), you can mute or
unmute ID/QT/DQT/Carrier.

Alphanumeric Two-way Paging Function
(FleetSync™)
6-1. General
The Alphanumeric Two-way Paging Function
(FleetSync™) is a Kenwood proprietary protocol. It enables
a variety of paging functions.
6-2. ID Construction
A radio unit ID is defined by a combination of 3-digit Fleet
and 4-digit ID numbers. Each radio unit must be assigned its
own Fleet and ID numbers.
6-3. PTT ID
A pre-programmed unique ID (Own) can be sent at the
beginning of transmission and/or the end of transmission to
identify which radio unit is on air.
When selecting (Sel) for MSK ID, the radio calls the specific Fleet user the same as selective call.
6-4. Selective Call (SELCALL)
This is a voice call to a particular individual or group of
stations.
With OR set up, alert/transpond will not function with
only DTMF.
With OR set up, AF mute will not release when only
DTMF matches.
With a conventional group not set up with QT or DQT,
only the carrier is considered when signalling matches.
■ Auto Reset
If option signalling matches a group set up with option
signalling, option signalling is released. After matching option signalling, option signalling will temporarily reset automatically.
■ Dead Beat Disable
If the D.B.D. code matches, a predetermined action will
occur. Whether option signalling is activated or not, when
D.B.D. matches on any group, the transceiver will become
TX inhibited or TX/RX inhibited. While D.B.D. is active, if the
D.B.D. code + “#” code is received, D.B.D. will disactivate.
When D.B.D. matches, transpond will function. Alert will
not be output, and option signalling match icon will not appear.
5-2. MSK
Built-in MSK (FleetSync™ : Fleet-ID) decoder is available
for option signalling. When the group ID matches, squelch
remains muted while the station waits for reception of
proper MSK signal. When MSK signal matches, squelch
unmutes.
■ Example of call types;
[100][ALL ] : <Group Call>
All the units whose fleet number is “100” are called.
[100][1000] : <Individual Call>
The unit, whose the fleet number is “100” and ID number is “1000”, is called.
[ALL][ALL ] : <Broadcast Call>
All the units are called.
[ALL][1000] : <Supervisor Call>
All ID “1000” are called regardless of their fleet number.
■ Unit ID Encode Block
Encode ID Block can be set to limit manual dial ID. The
radio unit will not accept an ID other than these IDs which
are entered from the keypad. If Inter-fleet Call is enabled,
block ID setting affects each fleet group.
6-5. Status Message
Using a 2-digit number, you can send and receive a Status message which may be decided in your talk group. Each
Status may be displayed with 16 alphanumeric characters if
programmed in the radio. A maximum of 9 received messages can be stored in the stack memory, and it can be reviewed after reception. If the message memory becomes
full, the oldest one will be erased. The stack memory will be
cleared by turning radio power off.

6-10. Parameters
■ GTC Count
Number of Go To data Channel messages to be sent before transmitting a data message if it is being made on Data
System/ Group. If a radio unit receives a GTC message, it
will move to the Data System/Group of the current system.
Increase this item to make sure the called radio unit moves
to the Data System/Group.
■ Emergency Status response
“Alert” can be selected for the called radio unit’s response to reception of status 99 which is used as an emergency status.
6-9. Other Functions
■ Manual Dial
Fleet, ID and Status numbers can be entered from DTMF
keypad. (DTMF microphopne is required.)
■ Random Access (Contention)
When a channel (or all the repeater channels for Trunking
mode) is busy, radio unit will not transmit (depending on its
Busy Channel Lockout setting in conventional mode). As
soon as a channel is cleared, some transmissions may
crash. Random access is used to avoid this by employing a
random transmission sequence.

5. PC Mode
5-1. Preface
The TK-480/481 transceiver is programmed by using a
personal computer, programming interface (KPG-36) and
programming software (KPG-49D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.
5-2. Connection procedure
1. Connect the TK-480/481 to the personal computer with
the interface cable.
2. When the POWER switch on, user mode can be entered
immediately. When PC sends command the radio enter
PC mode, and “PROGRAM” is displayed on the LCD.
When data transmitting from transceiver, the red LED is
blinking.
When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED is
blinking.
Notes:
• The data stored in the personal computer must match
model type, when it is written into the flash memory.
• Change the TK-480/481 to PC mode, then attach the interface cable.
The KPG-36 is required to interface the TK-480/481 to the
computer. It has a circuit in its D-subconnector (25-pin) case
that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-36 connects the universal connector of the TK-
480/481 to the computers RS-232C serial port.
5-4. Programming software description
The KPG-49D programming disk is supplied in 3-1/2" disk
format. The software on this disk allows a user to program
TK-480/481 radios via programming interface cable (KPG-
36).
5-5. Programming with IBM PC
If data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PC
with the KPG-49D, the destination data (basic radio information) for each set can be modified. Normally, it is not necessary to modify the destination data because their values are
determined automatically when the frequency range (frequency type) is set.
The values should be modified only if necessary. Data
can be programmed into the flash memory in RS-232C format via the universal connector.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Overview
This transceiver is an 800/900MHz band EFJ LTR™
trunked system compatible FM portable transceiver that can
be programmed to operate on both LTR and conventional
systems.
2. Circuit Configuration by Frequency
The receiver is a double-conversion superheterodyne
with a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 44.85MHz and a
second IF of 455kHz. Incoming signals from the antenna are
mixed with the local signal from the PLL to produce the first
IF of 44.85MHz.
This is then mixed with the 44.395MHz second local os-
cillator output to produce the 455kHz second IF. This is detected to give the demodulated signal.
The transmit signal frequency is generated by the PLL
VCO, and modulated by the signal from the microphone. It
is then amplified and sent to the antenna.

3. Receiver System
3-1. RF unit
An incoming RF signal from the antenna terminal is
passed through the antenna switch (D7, D9, and D10 are
off) and then the bandpass filter (L11). The signal is amplified by RF amplifier Q9, and passed through the bandpass
filter (L20) to remove the spurious signal again. The resulting signal is applied to the first mixer (Q6), where it is mixed
with the first local oscillator signal output from the frequency synthesizer to produce the first IF (44.85MHz).
3-2. IF unit
The first IF signal is passed through a four-pole monolithic crystal filter (XF1) to remove a adjacent channel signal.
The filtered first IF signal is amplified by the first IF amplifier
(Q5) and then applied to the IF system IC (IC9). The IF system IC provides a second mixer, second local oscillator, limiting amplifier, quadrature detector and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The second mixer mixes the first IF
signal with the 44.395MHz of second local oscillator output
(crystal unit X1) and produces the second IF signal of
455kHz.
The second IF signal is passed through the ceramic filter
(CF1,2) to more remove the adjacent channel signal. The
filtered second IF signal is amplified by the limiting amplifier
and demodulated by the quadrature detector with ceramic
discriminator (CD1). The demodulated signal is routed to
the audio circuit.

3-3. Audio amplifier circuit
The demodulated signal from IC9 is amplified by IC8 (2/
The signal then goes through an AF amplifier IC3 (2/2), an
electronic volume control (IC4), and an AF switch (Q310 is
on), and is routed to audio power amplifier (IC300), where it
is amplified and output to the internal speaker.
The audio mute signal (AM) from the microcomputer becomes Low in the standby and Q304, Q305 which are
power supply circuit for IC300 turn off. Also, IC12 is set to
the power down mode according to data from microprocessor, and the AF signal is muted. When the audio is output,
AM becomes High to turn Q304, Q305 ON, and voltage is
supplied to power terminal VP of IC300. Also, IC12 is canceled out of the power down mode.
The speaker is switched by the logic of speaker switching terminal SSW on the universal connector. When SP-MIC
is not attached, the logic of SSW becomes High and SW
(Q310) is turned ON, and the AF signal is input to both amplifiers of IC300.
When SP-MIC is attached, SSW is connected to GND at
inside of SP-MIC. For this reason, Q310 is turned OFF, and
the AF signal is input only to amplifier for EXT SP of IC300.

3-4. Squelch circuit
The output from IC9 enters FM IC again, then passed
through a band-pass filter. The noise component output
from IC9 is amplified by Q19 and rectified by D3 to produce
a DC voltage corresponding to the noise level. The DC voltage is sent to the analog port of the CPU (IC15). And IC9
outputs a DC voltage (RSSI) corresponding to the input of
the IF amplifier. The CPU reads the RSSI signal via pin 24.
IC15 determines whether to output sounds from the
speaker by comparing the input voltage of pin 28 and pin 24
with the preset value.

The signal from the internal microphone goes through
the mute switch (Q300).
When the SP-MIC is not attached, the microphone
switching terminal (MSW) on the universal connector becomes High, and mute switch (Q300) is turned ON. When
the SP-MIC is attached, MSW is connected to GND at inside
of SP-MIC. For this reason, Q300 is turned OFF, the internal
microphone is muted, and only the input of the external microphone is supplied to the microphone amplifier of the TXRX unit.

TK-480/481
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The signal from microphone passes through the limitter
circuit in D11, and through the high-pass filter, the ALC circuit, the low-pass filter, the high-pass filter, and pre-emphasis/IDC circuit in IC12. When encoding DTMF, mute switch
(Q7) is turned OFF for muting the microphone input signal.
The signal passes through the D/A converter (IC4) for the
maximum deviation adjustment, and enters the summing
amplifier consisting of IC3 (2/2), and is mixed with the low
speed data from the CPU (IC15).
The output signal from the summing amplifier passes
through the D/A converter (IC4) again for the TA maximum
deviation adjustment,and the AF switch (Q21 is off in TX),
and goes to the VCO modulation input.
The other output signal from the summing amplifier
passes through the D/A converter (IC4) again for the BAL
adjustment,and the buffer amplifier (IC1 (2/2)), and goes to
the VCXO modulation input.

4-2. Drive and Final amplifier
The signal from the T/R switch (D5 is on) is amplified by
the pre-drive (Q11) and drive amplifier (Q12) to 50mW.
The output of the drive amplifier is amplified by the RF
power amplifier (IC30) to 2.5W (1W when the power is low).
The RF power amplifier consists of two stages MOS FET
transistor. The output of the RF power amplifier is then
passed through the harmonic filter (LPF) and antenna switch
(D7 is on) and applied to the antenna terminal.
4-3. APC circuit
The APC circuit always monitors the current flowing
through the RF power amplifier (IC30) and keeps a constant
current. The voltage drop at R127, R128 and R129 is caused
by the current flowing through the RF power amplifier and
this voltage is applied to the differential amplifier (IC21 1/2).
IC21 (2/2) compares the output voltage of IC21 (1/2) with
the reference voltage from IC4, and the output of IC21 (2/2)
controls the VGG of the RF power amplifier to make the
both voltages to same voltage.
The change of power high/low is carried out by the
change of the reference voltage. Q14,15 and 18 are turned
on in transmit and the APC circuit is active.

5. Frequency Synthesizer Unit
5-1. Frequency synthesizer
The frequency synthesizer consists of the VCXO (X2),
VCO (IC14), PLL IC (IC11) and buffer amplifiers.
The VCXO generates 16.8MHz. The frequency stability is
1.5ppm within the temperature range of –30 to +60°C. The
frequency tuning and modulation of the VCXO are done to
apply a voltage to pin 1 of the VCXO. The output of the
VCXO is applied to pin 8 of the PLL IC.
The TK-480’s VCO covers a dual range of the 806~
825MHz, and the 851~870MHz. The VCO generates
806.15~825.15MHz for providing to the first local signal in
receive. In TA mode, the pin 1 of the VCO goes low and the
VCO generates 851~870MHz.
The TK-481’s VCO covers a dual range of the 896~
902MHz, and the 935~941MHz. The VCO generates
890.15~896.15MHz for providing to the first local signal in
receive. In TA mode, the pin 1 of the VCO goes low and the
VCO generates 935~941MHz.
The output of the VCO is amplified by the buffer amplifier
(Q8) and routed to the pin 5 of the PLL IC. Also the output of
the VCO is amplified by the two-buffer amplifier (Q10, Q17)
and routed to the next stage according to T/R switch (D4,
D5).
The PLL IC consists of a prescaler, fractional divider, reference divider, phase comparator, charge pump. This PLL
IC is fractional-N type synthesizer and performs in the
100kHz reference signal which is eighth of the channel step
(12.5kHz). The input signal from the pins 1 and 5 of the PLL
IC is divided down to the 100kHz and compared at phase
comparator. The pulsed output signal of the phase comparator is applied to the charge pump and transformed into
DC signal in the loop filter (LPF). The DC signal is applied to
the pin 3 of the VCO and locked to keep the VCO frequency
constant.
PLL data is output from DT (pin 52), CP (pin 64) and EP
(pin 69) of the microprocessor (IC15). The data are input to
the PLL IC when the channel is changed or when transmission is changed to reception and vice versa. A PLL lock condition is always monitored by the pin 21 (UL) of the microprocessor. When the PLL is unlocked, the UL goes low.
6. Control Circuit
The control circuit consists of microprocessor (IC15) and
its peripheral circuits. It controls the TX-RX unit and transfers data to and from the display unit. IC15 mainly performs
the following;
1) Switching between transmission and reception by PTT
signal input.
2) Reading system, group, frequency, and program data
from the memory circuit.
3) Sending frequency program data to the PLL.
4) Controlling squelch on/off by the DC voltage from the
squelch circuit.
5) Controlling the audio mute circuit by decode data input.
6) Transmitting tone and encode data.
6-1. Memory circuit
Memory circuit consists of the CPU (IC15) and a flash
memory (IC17), a flash memory has a capacity of 2M bits
that contains the transceiver control program for the CPU
and data such as transceiver channels and operating features.
This program can be easily written from an external devices. The data, such as operating status, is programmed
into the EEPROM (IC16).
• Flash Memory
Note : The flash memory holds data such as written with
the FPU (KPG-49D), firmware program (User mode, Test
mode, Tuning mode, etc.) This data must be rewritten when
replacing the flash memory.
• EEPROM
Note : The EEPROM stores tuning data (Deviation, Squelch,
etc.).
Realign the transceiver after replacing the EEPROM.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
6-2. Low battery warning
The battery voltage is monitored by the microprocessor
(IC15). When the battery voltage falls below the voltage set
by the Low Battery Warning adjustment, the red LED
flashes to notify the operator that it is time to replace the
battery. If the battery voltage falls even more (approx. 5.8V),
a beep sounds and transmission is stopped.
Low battery warningBattery condition
The red LED flashes duringThe battery voltage is low but
transmissionthe transceiver is still usable.
The red LED flashes andThe battery voltage is low and
continuous beep soundsthe transceiver is not usable to
while PTT pressedmake calls.
6-3. Key input
If the clock is supplied to CLK terminal when the RES
terminal (CPU pin 53) of the decade counter (IC301) is set to
Low, Q0 to Q7 become High sequentially. Normally, KI1 and
KI2 are Low (pulled down). When any key is pressed, KI1 or
KI2 become High. The CPU detects which key is pressed,
according to the voltage of KI1 and KI2 and clock timing.

7. Signalling Circuit
7-1. Encode
• Low-speed data (QT,DQT,LTR)
Low-speed data is output from pin 36 of the CPU. The
signal passes through a low-pass CR filter, and goes to the
summing amplifier (IC3 1/2). The signal is mixed with the
audio signal and goes to the VCO (IC14) and VCXO (X2)
modulation input after passing through the D/A converter
(IC4) for BAL adjustment.
• High-speed data (DTMF)
High-speed data is output from pin 35 of the CPU. The
signal passes through a low-pass filter consisting of IC23,
and provides a TX DTMF tone and a RX DTMF tone including
a beep tone. The TX DTMF tone is passed to the D/A convertor (IC4) for DTMF deviation adjustment, and then applied to the audio processor (IC12).
The signal is mixed with the audio signal and goes to the
VCO and VCXO. The RX DTMF tone is passed a summing
amplifier (IC3 2/2), the D/A convertor (IC4) for audio control,
audio power amplifier and then to the speaker.
• MSK
MSK signal is output from pin 6 of IC12. The signal
passes through the D/A converter (IC4) for the MSK deviation adjustment, and is routed to the VCO. When encoding
MSK, the microphone input signal is muted.

7-2. Decode
• Low-speed data (QT,DQT,LTR)
The demodulated signal from the IF IC (IC9) is amplified
by IC8 (1/2) and passes through a low-pass filter (IC10) to
remove audio components. The signal is input to pin 23 of
the CPU.
The CPU digitizes this signal, performs processing such
as DC restoration, and decodes the signal.
• High-speed data (DTMF)
The DTMF input signal from the IF IC is amplified by IC8
(1/2) and goes to IC13, the DTMF decoder. The decoded information is then processed by the CPU. During transmission and standby, the DTMF IC is set to the power down
mode when the PD terminal is High. When the line is busy,
the PD terminal becomes Low, the power down mode is
canceled and decoding is carried out.
• MSK
The MSK input signal from the IF IC is amplified by IC8 (1/
2) and goes to pin 5 of IC12. The signal is demodulated by
MSK demodulator in IC12. The demodulated data goes to
the CPU for processing.

8. Power Supply Circuit
Battery +B is supplied via a 3A fuse from the battery terminal connected to the TX-RX unit. After passing through
the power switch, power supply (SB) is applied to the three
AVRs. IC5 supplies 5V (5M) to the control circuit, and IC7
supplies 5V (5C) to common circuits. IC6 supplies to the TX
circuit and the RX circuit. During transmission, 5TC becomes Low and Q2 is turned ON to supply 5V (5T) to the TX
circuit. During reception, 5RC becomes Low and Q1 is
turned ON to supply 5V (5R) to the RX circuit.

■ The following parts are required for adjustment
1. Antenna connector adapter
The antenna connector of this radio uses an SMA termi-
nal.
Use an antenna connector adapter [SMA(f) – BNC(f) or
SMA(f) – N(f)] for adjustment. (The adapter is not provided
as an option, so buy a commercially-available one.)
Note
When the antenna connector adapter touches the knob,
draw out the knob to mount the connector.
2. Universal connector
Use the interface cable (KPG-36) for PC tuning or the lead
wire with plug (E30-3287-18) and screw (N08-0535-08) for
panel tuning. Connct the plug to the universal connector of
the radio and tighten the screw.
The lead wire with plug (E30-3287-18) and screw (N080535-08) terminals are as follows. Numbers are universal
connector terminal numbers.
Caution
1. When connecting the plug to the universal connector of
the radio, a short circuit may occur. To prevent this, be
sure to turn the radio POWER switch off.
2. Since the RX AF output is a BTL output, there is a DC
component. Isolate this with a capacitor or transformer
as shown in the figure.
3. Do not connct an instrument between red or black and
GND.

• Preparations for tuning the transceiver
Before attempting to tune the transceiver, connect the
unit to a suitable power supply.
Whenever the transmitter is turned, the unit must be
connected to a suitable dummy load (i.e. power meter).
The speaker output connector must be terminated with a
16Ω dummy load and connected to an AC voltmeter and an
audio distortion meter or a SINAD measurement meter at all
times during tuning.
