OutlineThe TKR-850 is a UHF/FM repeater designed to operatein the frequency range of 440 to 470MHz (E), 450 to480MHz (K), 480 to 512MHz (K2) or 400 to 430MHz (K3).The unit consists of receiver, transmitter, phase-lockedloop (PLL) frequency synthesizer, and control circuits.2. Receiver CircuitThe receiver is double conversion super-heterodyne, de-signed to operate in the frequency range of 440 to 470MHz(E), 450 to 480MHz (K), 480 to 512MHz (K2) or 400 to430MHz (K3).The receiver circuit located in TX-RX unit (X57-627 A/2)consists of the following : 2-1 front-end circuit, 2-2 firstmixer, 2-3 IF amplifier circuit, 2-4 audio amplifier circuit, and2-5 squelch circuit.2-1. Front-end CircuitThe front-end circuit consists of BPF L2, RF amplifier Q1,and BPF L4/L5. The helical BPF covers frequency ranges440 to 480MHz (K,E) and 480 to 512MHz (K2) with a pass-band of 5.0MHz, 400 to 430MHz with a pass band of3.0MHz (K3).The BPF L4/L5 attenuates the unwanted signals, andsends only the necessary signal to the first mixer DBM A1.2-2. First MixerThe signal from the BPF is heterodyned with the first lo-cal oscillator signal from the PLL frequency synthesizer cir-cuit at the first mixer DBM (A1) to become a 44.85MHz firstintermediate frequency (IF) signal. The first IF signal is fedthrough two monolithic crystal filters (XF2; Wide, XF1; Nar-row) to further remove spurious signals.2-3. IF AmplifierThe first IF signal is amplified by Q2 and Q3, and thenenters IC9 (FM system IC). The signal is heterodyned againwith a second local oscillator signal (44.395MHz) with in IC9to become a 455kHz second IF signal. The second IF signalis fed through a 455kHz ceramic filter, CF1 (Wide), CF2 (Nar-row) to further eliminate unwanted signal, and the quadra-ture detection circuit FM-detects the signal to produce abase-band signal and output it from pin 11.Fig. 1 Receiver circuit
