• TONE SQUELCH
The tone squelch circuit detects AF signals and opens the
squelch only when receiving a signal containing a matching
subaudible tone (CTCSS). When tone squelch is in use, and
a signal with a mismatched or no subaudible tone is
received, the tone squelch circuit mutes the AF signals even
when noise squelch is open.
A portion of the AF signals from the FM IF IC (IC2, pin 9)
passes through the low-pass filter (LOGIC unit; IC9) via the
“WFMS” line to remove AF (voice) signals and is applied to
the CTCSS decoder inside the CPU (LOGIC unit; IC11, pin
8) via the “RTONE” line to control the AF mute switch.
4-2 PLL CIRCUITS
4-2-1 PLL CIRCUIT (RF UNIT)
A PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the receive
1st/2nd LO frequencies. The PLL circuit compares the
phase of the divided VCO frequency to the reference fre-
quency. The PLL output frequency is controlled by the divid-
ed ratio (N-data) of a programmable divider.
An oscillated signal from the 1st VCO passes thorough the
buffer amplifiers (IC4, Q43) is applied to the PLL IC (IC3, pin
19) and is prescaled in the PLL IC based on the divided ratio
(N-data). The PLL IC detects the out-of-step phase using the
reference frequency and outputs it from pin 13. The output
signal is passed through the loop filter (Q2, Q45) and is then
applied to the 1ST VCO circuit as the lock voltage.
4-2-2 REFERENCE OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
(RF UNIT)
The reference oscillator circuit (X1, IC3) generates a 19.2
MHz reference frequency which is stabilized within the tem-
perature range –10˚C (+14˚F) to +60˚C (+140˚F). The refer-
ence frequency is applied to the PLL IC (IC3, pin 16) and the
signal is output from the pin 17, and is then applied to the
FM IF IC (IC2, pin 2) via the low-pass fileter.
4-2-3 1ST VCO CIRCUIT (RF UNIT)
The oscillated signal is applied to the buffer amplifiers (IC4,
Q40). The amplified signal is applied to the 1st mixer circuit
(IC1) via the RX LO swtich circuit (D42–D44) and doubler
circuit (Q31).
The 1st VCO circuit (Q28, Q30, D54) oscillates 267.2
MHz–380 MHz and 380 MHz–550 MHz by switching the
SHIFT switch (Q29) “High” and “Low” respectively.
A portion of the signal from IC4 is amplified at the buffer
amplifier (Q43) and is then fed back to the PLL IC (IC3, pin
2) as the comparison signal.
4-2-4 2nd VCO CIRCUIT (RF UNIT)
The 2nd LO circuit generates the 2nd LO frequencies, and
the signals are applied to the 2nd mixer circuit.
The 2nd VCO circuit (Q6, L45, C80, C207, C208) oscillates
260 MHz. The oscillated signal is applied to the 2nd mixer
(IC10, pin 3), and is then mixed with the 1st IF signal.
An oscillated signal from the 2nd VCO passes through the
low-pass filter (C154, C250–C252, L69), and is applied to
the PLL IC (IC3, pin 2), and is then output from pin 8.
