This manual provides the technical information necessary for servicing the VX-1700 HF Transceiver.
Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handing surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, andmay be illegal in some countries.
Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided board in this transceiver. Each side of the boardis referred to by the type of the majority of components installed on that side (“Side A” or “Side B”). In mostcases one side has only chip components (surface-mount devices), and the other has either a mixture of bothchip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only.
As described in the pages to follow, the advanced microprocessor design of the VX-1700 Transceiver allows acomplete alignment of this transceiver to be performed without opening the case of the radio; all adjustmentscan be performed from the front panel, using the “Alignment Mode” menu.
While we believe the information in this manual to be correct, VERTEX STANDARD assumes no liability fordamage that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation inpointing out any inconsistencies in the technical information would be appreciated.

Incoming RF signal from the ANT jack is deliveredto the PA Unit, and passes through the TX/RX relayRL2009 to J2006.
The RF signal is then applied to J1001 on the MAINUnit, and passed through the limiter circuit consist-ing of D1006, D1007, D1008, and D1009 (all RLS245)to prevent distortion from high RF signal input, andis fed to one of eight band-pass filters which stripaway unwanted signals prior to delivery of the in-coming signal to the RF amplifiers, Q1022 and Q1024(both 2SK520-K41).
The amplified RF signal passes through a low-passfilter to the doubly-balanced mixer D1032(HSB88WS), where the RF signal is mixed with the1st local signal delivered from buffer amplifier Q1029(2SC2954), resulting in a 45.274 MHz 1st IF signal.
The 45.274 MHz 1st IF signal is fed through mono-lithic crystal filter XF1001, which strips away un-wanted mixer products, and is amplified by 1st IFamplifier Q1050 (3SK151GR); the 1st IF signal is thenapplied to the 2nd mixer Q1052 (RF2713), where itis mixed with the 45.25 MHz 2nd local signal whichis divided from 90.5 MHz reference signal deliveredfrom buffer amplifier Q1075 (2SC2714Y), resultingin a 24 kHz 2nd IF signal.
The 24 kHz 2nd IF signal is fed through buffer am-plifiers Q1030 and Q1041 (both UPC4572G2) to theA/D converter Q1071 (AK4528A), then delivered tothe DSP IC Q1035 (UPD77115), where the 24 kHz2nd IF signal is demodulated in accordance with themode selection data from the main CPU Q1018(HD64F2134). The demodulated signal is deliveredto the D/A converter Q1081 (AK4550VT) which con-verts the demodulated signal to audio.
The audio signal from the D/A converter Q1081(AK4550VT) is fed through a low-pass filter at Q1036(UPC4572G), which eliminates high-pitched noiseon the audio signal, and is fed to the AF mute gateQ1092 (2SJ125D), then applied to the audio ampli-fier Q1055 (TDA2003H). The amplified audio signalis delivered to J3001 on the PANEL Unit, then pass-es through the speaker switch RL3001/Q3006(DTC143ZE) to the internal or external speaker.
The DSP IC Q1035 (UPD77115) outputs AGC datawhich is proportionate to the received signal strengthto the main CPU Q1018 (HD64F2134). The main CPUQ1018 (HD64F2134), in turn, outputs a DC voltagein accordance with the received signal strength. ThisDC voltage is fed through buffer amplifier Q1039(LM2904PW) to RF amplifiers Q1022 & Q1024 (both2SK520) and gate 2 of IF amplifier Q1050(3SK151GR), to reduce their gains when strong sig-nals are present in the receiver passband.
Transmit Signal Path
The speech audio from the microphone is deliveredto J6001 on the MIC Unit, then applied to J1005 onthe MAIN Unit.
The speech audio is amplified by Q1032-1(UPC4572G2), then passed though the clipper,D1044 (MC2850), and further amplified by Q1032-2(UPC4572G2).
The amplified speech audio is fed through the A/Dconverter Q1081 (AK4550VT), then delivered to theDSP IC Q1035 (UPD77115), where the speech audiois modulated in the 24 kHz TX 1st IF signal in accor-dance with the mode selection data from the mainCPU, Q1018 (HD64F2134).
The modulated signal is fed through the D/A con-verter Q1071 (AK4528A) and buffer amplifier Q1034(UPC4572G2) to the mixer Q1054 (RF2713) wherethe 24 kHz TX 1st IF signal is mixed with 1st localsignal delivered from buffer amplifier Q1075(2SC2714Y), resulting in a 45.274 MHz IF signal.
The resulting 45.274 MHz IF signal is buffered byQ1049 (3SK151GR), then delivered to the monolithiccrystal filter XF1001, which strips away unwantedmixer products, and then is amplified by Q1043(3SK151GR). The amplified IF signal is delivered todoubly-balanced mixer D1032 (HSB88WS), whereit is mixed with the PLL local signal from the bufferamplifier, Q1029 (2SC2954).
The resulting the RF signal at the transmit frequen-cy is fed through a low-pass filter circuit, and then isamplified by Q1026 (2SC2714Y) and buffer ampli-fier Q1025 (2SC3357), and then filtered by one ofeight band-pass filters to suppress out-of-band re-sponses. The RF signal is then amplified by Q1001(2SC2954) and delivered to the PA Unit.

Circuit Description
On the PA Unit, the low-level RF signal from theMAIN Unit is amplified by pre-driver Q2001(RD06HHF1), push-pull driver Q2008/Q2009 (both
RD16HHF1), and push-pull final amplifier Q2012/Q2013 (both SD1405), which provides up to 120
watts of RF output power.
The RF output from the final amplifier is fed throughthe one of seven low-pass filters, sampling direction-al coupler T2005, and TX/RX relay RL2009 beforedelivery to the antenna jack.
The sampling directional coupler senses forward andreverse power output, which is rectified by D2017and D2018 (both MA729), respectively, and the DCvoltage is then amplified by Q2015 (LM2904PW) onthe PA Unit.
The DC voltages derived from forward and reversepower are applied to J1003 on the MAIN Unit, andthen amplified by Q1040 (LM2904PW) and Q1044(2SC2812). The amplified DC voltage is fed back tothe 2nd gate of the 45.275 MHz IF amplifier Q1043(3SK151GR), so that the transmitter’s IF gain can beregulated by this sensing of the power output, pre-venting overdrive or damage caused by transmis-sion into an excessive impedance mismatch at theantenna.
PLL Circuit
The PLL local signal for the receiver 1st local andthe transmitter final local is generated by one of twoVCOs: Q1072 or Q1073 (both 2SK210GR) in con-junction with varactor diodes D1047, D1048, D1049,D1050, D1051, D1052, D1053, and D1054 (allHVU359) on the MAIN Unit. The oscillating frequen-cy is determined primarily by the level of DC volt-age applied to the varactor diodes. The VCO outputis buffered by Q1066 (2SK302Y), amplified by Q1074(2SC2714Y), and band-pass filtered by capacitorsC1389, C1391, C1397, C1400, C1409, and C1420 andcoils L1070, L1071, L1074, and L1076. The filtered PLLlocal signal is fed through buffer amplifiers Q1027(2SC2714Y), Q1028 (2SC3356), and Q1029(2SC2954) to the TX final mixer or RX 1st mixerD1032 (HSB88WS).
A portion of the output of buffer amplifier Q1066(2SK302Y) is further amplified by Q1064(2SC2714Y), then delivered to the PLL subsystem
IC Q1056 (ADF4001BRU), which contains a refer-ence divider, serial-to-parallel data latch, program-mable divider, phase comparator and a swallowcounter. The sample VCO signal is divided by theprogrammable divider section of the Q1056(ADF4001BRU). Meanwhile, the output from the
22.625 MHz TCXO reference oscillator, X1003, isamplified by Q1062 (TC7S04FU) and divided by theDDS IC Q1060 (AD9833BRM) in accordance withthe PLL dividing data from the main CPU, Q1018(HD64F2134), then fed through the buffer amplifi-ers Q1063 (2SC2714Y) to ceramic filter CF1001. Thedivided and filtered reference signal is applied tothe reference divider section of the PLL subsystemIC Q1056 (ADF4001BRU), where it is divided by 25/26 to produce the loop reference.
The divided signal from the programmable divider(derived from the VCO), and that derived from thereference oscillator, are applied to the phase detec-tor section of the PLL subsystem IC Q1056(ADF4001BRU), which produces a pulsed outputwith pulse duration depending on the phase differ-ence between the input signals. This pulse train isfed through the loop filter, consisting of resistorsR1222, R1233, & R1247 and capacitors C1278, C1284,C1298, C1308, & C1418, then fed back to the VCOvaractor diodes D1047, D1048, D1049, D1050,D1051, D1052, D1053, and D1054 (all HVU359).
Changes in the DC voltage applied to these varactordiodes affect the reactance in the tank circuit of VCOsQ1072 and Q1073 (both 2SK210GR), changing theoscillating frequency according to the phase differ-ence between the signals derived from the VCO andthe TCXO reference oscillator. The VCO is thusphase-locked to the reference frequency standard.
A portion of the output of reference signal fromTCXO X1003 is multiplied by four at Q1070(2SC2714Y). The resulting 90.5 MHz signal is buff-ered by Q1075 (2SC2714Y), then applied to a low-pass filter, consisting of capacitors C1401, C1405,C1410, C1411, and C1421 and coils L1075 and L1077.The filtered reference signal is applied to the TX 1stmixer Q1054 and RX 2nd mixer Q1052 (both
RF2713).

Circuit Description
Control Circuit
Major frequency control functions such as channelselection, display, and PLL divider control are per-formed by main CPU Q1018 (HD64F2134) on theMAIN Unit, at the command of the user via the tun-ing knob and function switches on the front panel.
The programmable divider data for the PLL fromthe main CPU is applied directly to DDS IC Q1016(AD9833BRM) and PLL subsystem IC Q1056(ADF4001BRU).
The Mode selection data from the main CPU is alsodelivered to DSP IC Q1035 (UPD77115) to controlthe various circuits required for the selected mode.
The Band selection binary data from the main CPUis decoded (BCD to Decimal) by Q1011 (TC4028BF).The resulting decimal outputs are level-shifted byQ1003 (TD62783AF) to select the active band-passfilter on the MAIN Unit required for the operatingfrequency. Also, the decimal outputs from Q1003(TD62783AF) are delivered to PA Unit, where theyare used to select the active low-pass filter requiredfor the operating frequency.
TX/RX Control
When the PTT switch is pressed, pin 21 of the mainCPU Q1018 (HD64F2134) goes low, which causespin 60 of the main CPU Q1018 (HD64F2134) to golow. This signal disables the receiver 12 V bus atQ1046 (2SA1602A). At the same time, pin 59 of themain CPU Q1018 (HD64F2134) goes low to activatethe transmit 12 V bus at Q1048 (2SA1365).
Power Supply & Regulation
The +5 V bus for the main CPU Q1018 (HD64F2134)is derived from the 13.5 V bus via regulator Q1012(BA05FP) on the MAIN Unit. The +8 V bus is de-rived from the 13.5 V bus via regulator Q1007(KIA7808API) on the MAIN Unit.
A portion of the +8 V bus is regulated by Q1008(L78M05T) for the +5 V bus, and is regulated byQ1006 (UPC2926) for the +2.6 V bus required by theDSP IC Q1035 (UPD77115GK).

The VX-1700 is carefully aligned at the factory forthe specified performance across the entire operat-ing frequency range. Realignment should thereforenot be necessary except in the event of a componentfailure. All component replacement and serviceshould be performed only by an authorized VertexStandard representative, or the warranty policy maybe void.
The following procedures cover the sometimes crit-ical and tedious adjustments that are not normallyrequired once the product has left the factory. How-ever, if damage occurs and some parts subsequent-ly are replaced, realignment may be required. If asudden problem occurs during normal operation, itis likely due to component failure; realignmentshould not be done until after the faulty componenthas been replaced.
We recommend that servicing be performed only byauthorized Vertex Standard service technicians whoare experienced with the circuitry and fully equippedfor repair and alignment. Therefore, if a fault is sus-pected, contact the dealer from whom the productwas purchased for instructions regarding repair.Authorized Vertex Standard service technicians re-align all circuits and make complete performancechecks to ensure compliance with factory specifica-tions after replacing any faulty components.
ed, the interactions of some adjustments may requirethat more complex adjustments be performed after-wards. Do not attempt to perform only a single stepunless it is clearly isolated electrically from all othersteps. Have all test equipment ready before begin-ning, and follow all of the steps in a section in theorder presented.

Those who do undertake any of the following align-ments are cautioned to proceed at their own risk.Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at re-alignment are not covered by the warranty policy.Also, Vertex Standard reserves the right to changecircuits and alignment procedures in the interest ofimproved performance, without notifying owners.
Under no circumstances should any alignment beattempted unless the normal function and operationof the product are clearly understood, the cause ofthe malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and anyfaulty components replaced, and realignment deter-mined to be absolutely necessary.
The following test equipment (and thorough famil-iarity with its correct use) is necessary for completerealignment. Correction of problems caused by mis-alignment resulting from use of improper test equip-ment is not covered under the warranty policy. Whilemost steps do not require all of the equipment list-
Alignment Preparation & Precautions
A 50-Ohm RF Dummy Load and in-line wattmetermust be connected to the ANT jack in all proceduresthat call for transmission, except where specifiedotherwise. Correct alignment is not possible with anantenna.
After completing one step, read the following stepto determine whether the same test equipment willbe required. If not, remove the test equipment (ex-cept dummy load and wattmeter, if connected) be-fore proceeding.
Correct alignment requires that the ambient temper-ature be the same as that of the radio and test equip-ment, and that this temperature be held constantbetween 68° F ~ 86° F (20° C and 30° C). When theradio is brought into the shop from hot or cold air, itshould be allowed time to come to room tempera-ture before alignment.

Alignment
Whenever possible, alignments should be made withoscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixedin place. Also, the test equipment must be thoroughlywarmed up before beginning.
Note:Signal levels in dB referred to in the alignment
procedure are based on 0dBµ = 0.5µV.
Set up the test equipment as shown below, and ap-ply 13.8V DC power to the transceiver.
The VX-1700 must be programmed for use in theintended system before alignment is attempted. Thefrequency and other parameters are loaded from thefile during the alignment process.
In order to facilitate alignment over the completeoperating range of the equipment, it is recommend-ed that the channel data first be uploaded and thenstored to disk. Alignment Channel data should thenbe downloaded. The original data can be replaced atthe end of the alignment process.
