The input signal and the 2nd local signal is added or subtracted at mixer IC4,
and switched to FM/AM receiving side or WFM receiving side at D24 or D25 .
At FM/AM receiving side, the crystal filter XF1 selects the signal of 38.85 MHz.
The signal is amplified at the 1st IF amplifier Q22 after the adjacent signal is
eliminated.
At WFM receiving side, the band pass filter selects the signal of 38.85 MHz.

eliminated.
The amplified signal at the 1st IF amplifier Q22 is supplied to pin 24 of IC6 for
demodulation. The signal of 12.8 MHz from the IC 1 reference buffer output is
multiplied by 3 at Q17, then mix ed with the signal added to pin 1 of IC6 in the
mixer circuit inside IC6 to be con verted into the 2nd IF signal of 450 kHz. The
converted 2nd IF signal is output from pin 3 of IC6.

the circuit.
IC1 compares the frequency gained by dividing the signal added to pin 2 of IC1
by the control signal from IC7 with the frequency gained by dividing the
reference frequency of 12.8 MHz inside IC1. When the phase difference is
found as a result of phase comparison, the pulse signal is output from the
charge pump output of pin 8 of IC1, then the signal is conv erted into the DC
