8Q1130 (NJM2904V), as a DC voltage which is proportionalto the output level of the power amplifier.At Q1130, the rectified DC voltage from the power am-plifier is compared to the reference voltage from the mainCPU Q1084 to produce a control voltage, which regulatessupply voltage to the pre-drive amplifier Q1123(2SK5374), driver amplifier Q1137 (2SK2975), and pow-er amplifier Q1134 (RD70HVF1), so as to maintain stableoutput power under varying antenna loading conditions.29 MHzA portion of the Power amplifier output is rectified byD1120 and D1122 (both MA2S728) then delivered to APCQ1130 (NJM2904V), as a DC voltage which is proportionalto the output level of the power amplifier.At Q1130, the rectified DC voltage from the power am-plifier is compared to the reference voltage from the mainCPU Q1084 to produce a control voltage, which regulatessupply voltage to the pre-drive amplifier Q1123(2SK5374), driver amplifier Q1137 (2SK2975), and pow-er amplifier Q1134 (RD70HVF1), so as to maintain stableoutput power under varying antenna loading conditions.PTT (Push to Talk) Circuit430 MHzWhen the PTT switch is pressed, pin 8 of sub CPU Q2001(M38223E4HP) goes “high,” which sends the “PTT” com-mand to main CPU Q1084.When the “PTT” command is received, the main CPU con-trols the I/O IC Q1075 (BU2090FS), causing pin 12 ofQ1075 to go “low” which activates the UHF TX switchsection of Q1076 (IMT17).When the UHF TX switch section of Q1076 is activated, itcontrols the antenna switch diodes D1102, D1104, andD1146 (all UM9957F), modulator switching diode D1100(DAN222), modulator switching IC Q1051 (BU4066BCFV),diode switches D1073 (HSC277), D1128 (DAN235E),D1140 (HSC277), and D1134 (HSC277), and APC switch-es Q1128 (RT1N441U) and Q1129 (RT1P441U), which ac-tivate the 430 MHz transmitter circuit.144 MHzWhen the PTT switch is pressed, pin 8 of sub CPU Q2001(M38223E4HP) goes “high,” which sends the “PTT” com-mand to main CPU Q1084.When the “PTT” command is received, the main CPU con-trols the I/O IC Q1075 (BU2090FS), causing pin 13 ofQ1075 to go “low” which activates the VHF TX switchsection of Q1076 (IMT17).When the VHF TX switch section of Q1076 is activated, itcontrols the antenna switching relay RL1001 (G5A-237P),modulator switching diode D1100 (DAN222), modulatorswitching IC Q1051 (BU4066BCFV), diode switchesD1075 (HSC277), D1128 (DAN235E), D1139 (HSC277),and D1133 (RSL135), and APC switches Q1128(RT1N441U) and Q1129 (RT1P441U), which activate the144 MHz transmitter circuit.50 MHzWhen the PTT switch is pressed, pin 8 of sub CPU Q2001(M38223E4HP) goes “high,” which sends the “PTT” com-mand to the main CPU Q1084.When the “PTT” command is received, the main CPU con-trols the I/O IC Q1075 (BU2090FS), causing pin 14 ofQ1075 to go “low” which activates the TX50 switch sec-tion of Q1077 (IMT17).When the TX50 switch section of Q1076 is activated, it con-trols the antenna switching relay RL1002 (G5A-237P), mod-ulator switching diode D1092 (DAN222), modulator switch-ing IC Q1086 (BU4066BCFV), diode switches D1127(DAN235E), D1141 (HSC277), and D1132 (D1F20), and APCswitches Q1128 (RT1N441U) and Q1129 (RT1P441U),which activate the 50 MHz transmitter circuit.28 MHzWhen the PTT switch is pressed, pin 8 of sub CPU Q2001(M38223E4HP) goes “high,” which sends the “PTT” com-mand to the main CPU Q1084.When the “PTT” command is received, the main CPU con-trols the I/O IC Q1075 (BU2090FS), causing pin 15 ofQ1075 to go “low” which activates the TX29 switch sec-tion of Q1077 (IMT17).When the TX29 switch section of Q1076 is activated, it con-trols the antenna switching relay RL1003 (G5A-237P), mod-ulator switching diode D1092 (DAN222), modulator switch-ing IC Q1086 (BU4066BCFV), diode switches D1127(DAN235E), D1142 (HSC277), and D1132 (D1F20), and APCswitches Q1128 (RT1N441U) and Q1129 (RT1P441U),which activate the 28 MHz transmitter circuit.PLL Circuit“Left” bandA portion of the output from UHF-VCO/A Q1112(2SC5006) is passed through buffer amplifier Q1113(2SC5374) and diode switch D1084 (HSC277) to the pro-grammable divider section of the PLL IC Q1095(MB15A02PFV1), where it is divided according to the fre-quency dividing data associated with the operating fre-quency input from the main CPU Q1084. It is then sent tothe phase comparator.A portion of the output from the VHF-VCO/A Q1115(2SC5374) is passed through buffer amplifier Q1116(2SC5374) and diode switch D1089 (HSC277) to the pro-grammable divider section of the PLL IC Q1095, where itCircuit Description
