The unit is ‘composed of a transmitter and 2 receiver, each being of the filter type double-conversion system. The receiver has a first IF section (8.895 MHz to 8,295 MHz) and a second IF section (3.395 MHz). The unit contains a number of ad venced accessory circuits and devices, such 2s a speech pro- cessor, RF NFB, 1.8 MHz and AUX bands, RF ATT, digital display terminal (for connection of DG-5 option and phone patch termina, in addition to other circuits which are found in conventional transceivers. Circuit Description ‘Transmitter Section The microphone signal is fed to the generator unit {refer to paragraph "Generator Unit” for operation of gonerator Unit) and is amplified by the MIC amplifier, The signal is then converted to a DSB (DoubleSide Band} signal of 3.395 Miz and fed to the IF unit, The signal passes through the crystal filter and becomes @ SSB signal ‘The IF signal is mixed with the VFO signal by the 1st mixer ‘and becomes the 2nd IF frequency of 8.695~8.295 MHz. Thissignal passes through the BPF and is fed to the AF unit. “The signal is then converted to the transmit frequency, 1.8~ 28 MHz by Q1 3SK41{L) and is voltage amplified by the driver tube V1 12BY7A to drive the final tubes S2001A which deliver RF power to the ANT circuit. The receiva signal of 1.8~28 MHz from the ANT terminal is. converted to a Ist IF of 8.895~8,295 MHz through the RE Unit and is fed to the IF unit, The signal passes through the BPF of the IF end is mixed with the VFO signal by 09 that it becoming the 2nd IF frequency of 3.395 MHz, The signal then passes through the NB, returns to the IF, pass ing through the crystal filter, and is amplitied bafore baing fed to the generator unit, Finally, the signal is fed to the BBD (balance detector) where itis converted to an AF signal. ‘The AF signal is fed to the AF unit where itis amplified by Q1~4 to drive the speaker. 1. Carrier Unit (X50-0009-01) This circuit functions as a carrier oscillator for the generator during transmission, and as @ BFO for the ring detector uring reception, The oscillator circuit Q1 (28C460B) is of ‘the Pierce B-E type; Q2 (28C460B) functions as a butter amplifier to provide stabilized output. Selection of oscilla tion frequency is accomplished by diode switch 01-04 {181855 X 4}. When forward biased the diode internal resistance become low and an oscillator circuit is completed, Without forward bias, the diode resistance becomes high, and the crystal is disconnected, stopping oscillation. Frequencies are 3396.5, ike for USB, 3393.5 kHz for LSB, and 3394.3 kHz (receivel, ‘and 3395.0 kHz (transmit) for CW. 2. Generator Unit (X52-1090-00) This is the heart of the SSB transmitter, generating DSB signals during transmission, Voice signals fed to micro- phone are amplified by Q3 (2SC1000GR}, Q5 (2SC733Y} and Q6 (28C733Y} and then fed 10 the ring modulator, (D1-D4), which suppresses the carrier component, passing only the DSB signal. The signal is amplified by the FET buffer amplifier Q1 and applied to the IF, The unwanted side band and carrier contained in OSB signals are further suppressed by the crystal filter in the IF unit to obtain a ‘SSB signal. During CW operation, a DC voltage unbalances the ring modulator to obtain carrier output. “The processor is controlled by a switch on the front panel Operating asa compressor circuit, the output of 3 is further amplified by Q4 [2SC1000GR}, QB (25C30-0), 09 (28C- 733} and Q10 (2SC733Y} and is fed to O5 through the diode switch controlled by the processor switch, The out put of Q10 is phase inverted by Q11 (2SC94BA) and recti- fied by @ bridge rectifier consisting of 4 diodes. This signal is DC amplified by O12 (25C945R) to control the FET attenuator Q7 (25K30.0) which utilizes pinch-off voltage.

It is composed of a trans- mitter section, receiver section, ALC circuit and a bias con- ‘rol circu. WW Receiving Section ‘The 15MHz WW signal passes through the diode switch interlocked with the band switch and is RF amplified by FET G5 (2SKI9GR) after being stepped up by TS. This signal is then converted into the 1gt IF signal of & 895 MHz by O4 and fed to the band pass filter T2. The Ist local Cscillator circuit is an overtone circuit consisting of O8, whose power source voltage is stabilized by 03. During WWV reception, power source voltage {14V) is not ‘applied to the transmitter 2nd mixer Q1, receiver 1st mixer 2 and the 1st local oscillator circuit ALC System ‘The ALC amplifier Q10(2SC1515) features high breakdown voltage between collactor, emitter and base, ALC voltage isproduced when the grid current flowing into theS2001A’s reaches about 30 WA. By setting the pull switch on the MIC/CAR VR to the NORM position, ALC voltage is fed back tothe proceeding stage through the time constant circuit R72 and C59, Control Section 11 is a switching wansistor to cut off the transmitter 2nd mixer Q1 when the"heater switch is OFF Normally, Q11 is cut off by the nogative bias voltage (with Fespect 10 emitter) applied from —C line through a shunt resistor, the DC-DC converter stops oscillating when the heaters are switched OFF, and the base voltage of Q11 ‘becomes zero and a forward bias [with respect to emitter) Is, applied, thereby the transistor turns ON. The bias resistor Of the transmitter 2nd mixer 02 is connected to the collec tor of 11 10 provide negative bias to the Ist and 2nd gates, thus Q1 is cut off During AC or DC operation, Q1 and V1 are block biased through either DB or D9 when the heater switch is ON, thus OF ane V1 are set in curl state Local Oscillator Circuit ‘Accrystal oscillator circuit generates an oscillation frequency for each band. It functions as a 2nd local oscillator during transmission, and a 1st loca oscillator during reception. Crystals and oscillator coils are included in the OSC coil Unit (X44-1160-00}. Oscillation is effected by O6 {28K- 19GR}, while Q7 {28C460B) functions as a buffer amplifier. Non-adjustment oscillator circuit Q8 (284608) is also included for WWY reception, the output of which is applied 10 Q4. Local oscillator output for the DG-5 digital display ‘option appears through the buffer amplifier 09 (28C4608), ‘The Drive (X44-1190.00), MUX (X44-1180.00), ANT (X44-1170.00), and OSC Coil Units (X44-1 160-00), function in conjunction with the RF unit, Coils, crystals and rotary switches are neatly arranged on printed circuit boards, 4, IF Unit (X48-1060-01) ‘This unit functions for both transmission and reception. During tansmission, the DSB signal from the generator becomes a SSB signal while the unwanted side band and carrier are suppressed by the SSB crystal filter XF1. The SSB signal is IF amplified by Q1 (2SKI5GR), which is com ‘mon to transmission and reception, and Is fed to the trans- sitter mixer 2 (3SK35Y) ‘The local oscillator signal from the VFO unit is applied to G2 of 2 while the cut-off frequency passes through the MHz low pass filter (T10, 711, 712), The signal is mixed with the SSB signal at G1 “The converted 2nd IF signal is fed to the RF unit through ‘the band pass filter. During transmission, the receiver IF amplifier 03 (SSK35GR), Q4 (SSKISGR) and the receiver VFO mixer Q9 (3SK41L) are cut off by a nagetive voltage 4t the RB terminal During reception, the 1st IF signal from the RF unitis fed through the band pass filter to: the VFO mixer 09, where the signal is converted to the 2nd IF. This signal is ted through the IFT to the NB, and its output is applied through XF1 to the IF amplifier 1 Tne signal is then amplified by the 2-stage IF amplifier (03, (04) and is fed ta the ring detector of the generator. During reception, the transmitter VEO mixer Q2 is cut off by 2 negative voltage at the TBL terminal, Q5 (28K 19GR} and Q6 (2SK19GA) are AGC amplifiers. Q6 is used to select SLOW, FAST and OFF AGC and control RF GAIN. ‘A diode switch is provided on the input and output of the crystal filter so that the_filtr switches with the mode switch when the CW erysial filter YG-3395C option) is installed.

NB (Noise Blanker Unit) (X54-1080-10) The NB unit is divided into 2 circuits, a signal circult anda noise amplifier and switch circuit In the signal circuit, the signal from the VFO mixer of the IF unit passes through the 3stage IFT band pass filter and is amplified by Q1 (3SK22GR), The signal is then soplied to the NBO terminal of the IF unit through the balanced blanking gate circuit In the noise amplifier, the noise signal amplified by Q2 (25K 19GR), 03 (2SC460B), Q7 (28C4608). and 04 (2SC- 4608) is applied to the base of Q6 (28C733Y) through the noise rectifier circuit consisting of D5 and DS (1N6O}. The AGC time constant circuit O6 has no effect on pulse noise it functions for continuous, short-cycle signals such as SSB. ‘Accordingly, 03, 4 and O7 function in a state close to maximum gain for pulse noise, and function in a state of suppressed gain for continuous signals because of AGC voltave. With the NB switch ON, the emitter of 5 (2SC733Y) is ‘grounded and when pulse noise s received, OS is turned ON. ‘The blanking gete diodes connected to O5 are reverse biased by the time constant circuit C7 and R&, thus the signal line is cut off to eliminate pulse noise 6. AF Unit (X49-0008-01) The AF unit contains a complementary OTL (Output Trans- formerless} audio frequency amplifier, semi-break-in circuit ‘or CW operation, side tone oscillator circuit for monitoring and a detector circuit for calibration (Q5 {25C733¥} preamplifies the audio signal from the ring detector.

This circuit uses @ phase-shift oscillator at about 750, He, During transmission, OB is cut off by + voltage at the RL terminal When the optional OC-DC unit (DS-1A) is operated from 3 DC power source, the side tone circuit does not function if the H. SW is OFF, because the converter is also controlied by the heater SW, hence, the bias voltage of Q6 (2SC733Y) ‘and the control voltage for the switching diode D3 (11655) fare not generated, VA? sots.the output level of side tone. 7.

VOX Unit (X54-0001-00) In SSB operation, voice signal from the MIC amplifir is fed to the MV terminal (side tone output in the case of CW. operation). The signal is amplified by Q3 (2SC373}, recti fied by 06 (1N6O) and becomes 8 DC signal proportional to the input sional When DC voltage from 06 Is applied to the base of Q4 (28C373), 04 tums ON; as a result the voltage at the base of Q6 (25C373) is decreased. When Q4 is cut off during nosignal period, the bese and emitter voltages of Q5 (2SA562Y} are equal, turning OS OFF therefore, C10 is charged through D7, the voltage be- ing set by tho DELAY VR, This wurns Q4 and 5 ON, discharging C10 through QS, This action, repeated, repre sents VOX hold time, (06 and O7 {28C373) form a Schmidt circuit: when O4 is, OFF, 06 is ON and 7 is OFF. When Q4 is ON, 6 is OFF ‘and Q7 is ON, which, in turn, sets O8 (2SA562Y} ON to operate the standby relay. The ANTI VOX signal from the output of the AF unit is, stepped up by TT through the AV terminal and full-wave rectified by D1-D4 to cut aff Q1 (25373), Whar Q1 is OFF, C5 is charged through R4 and, at the same time, Q2 {28C373) is turned ON, thus the base of Q4.

In this speech processor, the MIC amplifier cir cuit has an AGC type compression amplifier. Because the time constant is relatively large, the amplifier has sufficient compression effect with minimum distortion. It also shortens the ALC time constant, which controls overall transmitter gain. This increases the average output power during $88 operation, without deteriorating signal quality The circuit is designed to provide approximately 6 dB com- pression (at full scale ALC) at normal time constant, and about 20 dB fat 10 mV of MIC input) through the tow frequency speech processor. ‘Speech Processor Operation Roferring to Fig, 2, the MIC AMP input is amplified to 50 mV by the MIC amplifier. Amplifier output will be saturat fed if the input level exceeds this limit. As shown in Fig. 2, the MIC amplifier output is saturated at approximately 70 mV when the processor is ON. The illustration also shows ‘the output at processor ON and OFF cross at 10 mY input. “This means these two outputs are equal at about 70 mV. ‘The MIC AMP input level is adiustable up to approximately 30 mV without excessive distortion, by mgans of VRS in the gonerator unit (X62-1090 00).
