The processed AF signals from the base band IC (IC2) are 
passed through the AF mute switch (IC8, pins 3, 4) and D/A 
converter (IC6, pins 15, 16) for level adjustment. The level 
adjusted AF signals are amplified by AF amplifier (IC22). 
The amplified AF signals are then;
- Output from D-sub 25 pin connector (CONNECT UNIT;
 J602).
 or
- Buffer-amplified by Q49, then applied to connected micro-
 phone via FRONT UNIT.
 or
- Applied to the AF power amplifier (IC21, pin 1) to obtain AF
 output power level, then applied to the internal/external
 speaker via external speaker jack (J7). 
SQUELCH CIRCUITS
are received. By detecting noise components (30 kHz and 
higher signals) in the demodulated AF signals, the squelch 
circuit toggles the AF power amplifi er ON and OFF.
A portion of the demodulated AF signals from the IF IC 
(IC5, pin 9) are applied to the D/A converter (IC6, pin 1) 
for level adjustment (squelch threshold adjustment). The 
level-adjusted AF signals are output from pin 2 and passed 
through the noise filter (IC5, pins 7, 8, R121−R124, C216
−C218). The filtered noise signals are amplified the noise 
components only. 
The amplifi ed noise components are converted into the pulse-
type signal at the noise detector section, and output from pin 
13 as the “NOIS” signal. The “NOIS” signal is applied to the 
CPU (IC14, pin 113), Then the CPU outputs signal “AFON2” 
signal from pin 15 to the AF power amplifier controller (Q51, 
Q52, D65), according to the “NOIS” signal level. The AF power 
amplifi er controller toggles AF power amplifi er (IC21) ON and 
OFF according to the “AFON” signal.
squelch only when receiving a signal containing a matched 
sub audible tone. When the tone squelch is in use, and a 
signal with a mismatched or no sub audible tone is received, 
the tone squelch circuit mutes the AF signals even when the 
noise squelch is open.
• CTCSS/DTCS
A portion of the demodulated AF signals are passed through 
the active LPF (Q4, R45, R46, R47, R63, R64, C45, C46, 
C47, C71) to filters CTCSS/DTCS signal. The filtered signal 
is applied to the CPU (IC14, pin 64). The CPU compares the 
applied signal and the set CTCSS/DTCS, then outputs con-
trol signal as same as “NOISE SQUELCH.”
• 2/5 TONE AND DTMF
2/5 tone signals in the demodulated AF signals are passed 
through the LPF in the base band IC (IC2) and output from 
pin 21, then applied to the CPU (IC14, pin 63) via tone 
amplifer (IC1, pins 8, 9), and decoded.
5-2 TRANSMITTER CIRCUITS
MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER CIRCUITS
The AF signals from the microphone (MIC signals) are 
filtered and level-adjusted at the microphone amplifier 
circuits.
AF signals from the connected microphone (MIC signals) 
are passed through (bypassed) the ALC (Automatic Level 
Control) amplifier (FRONT UNIT; IC505, pins 3, 5) via AF 
switch (FRONT UNIT; IC507, pins 1, 6/7), then applied to 
the microphone amplifier (FRONT UNIT; IC508, pin 3). The 
amplified MIC signals are output from pin 4, and applied to 
the MAIN UNIT.
The MIC signals from the FRONT UNIT are passed through 
the Int./Ext. MIC switch (IC23, pins 1, 6), and applied to the 
base band IC (IC2, pin 3) and processed. 
The applied MIC signals are amplifi ed at the amplifi er (TXA1), 
and level adjusted at the volume controller (VR1). The level 
adjusted MIC signals are applied (bypassed) the compressor 
section, pre-emphasis section, TX/RX HPF, de-scrambler, limiter, 
splatter, in sequence, then applied to another volume controller.
The compressor compresses the MIC signals to provide high S/N 
ratio for receive side, and the pre-emphasis obtains +6 dB/oct 
audio characteristics. The TX/RX HPF filters out 250 Hz and 
lower audio signals, the limiter limits its level and the splatter 
filters out 3 kHz and higher audio signals. The filtered MIC 
signals are level adjusted at another volume controller (VR2), 
and then output from pin 7 via smoothing fi lter (SMF).
The MIC signals from the base band IC are passed through 
the digital/analog switch (IC8, pins 12, 14), FM/PM switch 
(IC3, pins 13, 14), and applied to the AF mixer (IC1, pin 
13) where the MIC signals and tone signals are mixed with. 
The mixed MIC signals are passed through D/A converter 
(IC6, pins 3, 4) for level adjustment. The level adjusted MIC 
signals are then applied to the VCO as modulation signals.
MODULATION CIRCUITS
The modulation circuits modulates the VCO oscillating signal 
using the modulation signals.
The MIC signals from the microphone amplifier circuits are 
applied to the D20 of TX VCO (Q19, D14, D17, D18, D20) 
as the modulation signals, and modulate the VCO oscillating 
signal by changing the reactance of D20.
The FM-modulated VCO output is amplified by buffer-
amplifiers (Q22, Q29), then applied to the power amplifiers 
via D24 as the TX signal.
SIGNALING ENCODE
5/2-TONE, DTMF and CTCSS/DTCS signals are output 
from the CPU (IC14) and passed through the LPF (IC7) 
and level converter (IC6), then applied to the AF mixer 
(IC1, pin 13) and mixed with MIC signals. The mixed tone 
signals are passed through the D/A converter (IC6, pins 3, 
4) for level adjustment. The level adjusted tone signals are 
applied to the both of TX VCO (Q19, D14, D17, D18, D20) 
and reference frequency oscillator (X1, pin 1) via the level 
adjuster (IC1, pins 1, 3).
