2.4 ANTENNA
Fixed Station - Any of the common antenna
sy st ems designed for use on the high-frequency
Amateur bands may be used with the TS-1S0S. The
transmission line should be coaxial cab le, and th e
ante nna system should show a standing wave ratio
of less than 1.5: 1 when usin g 50 ohm coaxial
transmission line. If open wire or balanced transmis-
sion line is usad, a suitable ant enna tunar is recom-
mended between th e transcei ver and the f eed line o
Constructi on and operating methods f or such tuners
are described in deta il in the A RR L Anrenna Hend-
book, and similar publications. For operation on t he
7 5 and 40 meter bands, a simple dipole antenna, cut
t o resonance in the most used portion of the band,
will perform satisfactorily. For operation in the 10,
15, and 20 meter bands, your stations efticiency
will be greatl y enhanced if a rotary beam antenna is
used . Remember that even the most powerful
tran sceiver is useless without a good antenna
syste m.
If the ante nna system SWR is too high, the result
may be damage to the final transistors or deteriora-
tion of transmit signal quality. Make sure that the
antenna syste m SWR is less than 1.5:1. If it cannot
be reduced to less than 1.5:1 , use of an antenna
tuner IAT-1S01 is recommended .
Mobile Station - Mobile antenna installations are
cri t ical, since any mobile antenna ter use on the
hi gh -frequency bands represents a number of com-
promises. Many Amateurs lose the efticiency of their
ant enna through improper tuning. Remember the
following points when using th e TS-l SOS with a
mobile antenna.
The " Q" of the antenna loading coil should be as
high as possible. There are several commercial
models available which use high " Q " coils.
The loading coil must be capable of handling the
power of the transceiver without overheating. In the
CW mode the power output of the transceiver wil l
exceed 100 watts.
The SWR bridge is a useful instrument , but unfor-
tunately it is quite often misunderstood, and over-
rated in importance. Basically, the SWR bridge will
indicate how closelv the antenna load impedance
matches the transmission line. With long transmis-
sion lines, as used in many fixed-station installa-
tions, it is desirable to keep the impedance match
fairl y close in order to limit power loss . This is par -
ticularly true at the higher frequencies. The longer
the line , and the higher the frequency, the more im-
portant SWR becomes. However, in mobile lnstalla-
tions the transmission line seldom exceeds 20 f eet in
length, and an SWR of even 4 : 1 adds very little
power loss. The TS-1S0S final st age is, however,
equipped with a built-in protection cir cuit whi ch
detects the SWR of the ant enna syst em and lowers
the transmit power output t o about one-tenth when
the SWR exceeds more than 3: 1. Therefore, make
sure the SWR of the antenna system is less than
1. 5: 1. If the TS-l SOS is to operate into an antenna
syste m where the SWR cannot be made less than
1.5: 1, an antenna tuner (such as the Kenwood
Model AT-1S01 should be used . By using an antenna
tuner, matching between the transceiver final stage
and the ante nna can be opt irnized , and the TS-l SOS
can be operated safely at full power.
The really important factor with your mobile antenna
is that it should be carefully tuned to resonance at
the desired operating frequency. The fallacy in using
an SWR bridge lies in the fact that it is sometimes
possible to reduce the SWR reading by detuning the
antenna. Field strength may actually be reduced in
an eftort to bring SWR down. Since field strength is
the primary goal, we recommend a field-strength
meter ter antenna tuning.
For antenna adj ust ment s, the transceiver should be
loaded at minimum power, using the RF PWR control
instead of operat ing at full power output, This will
limit f inal-staqe transistor dissipation during ad-
justment s, and will also help t o reduce interference
to f ellow operators. In any case, do not leave the
transmitter on for very long at one time. Transmit
just long enough to tune, and get a field-strength
reading. Start with the antenna at the center of its
adjustment range and observe the eld-strenqth
reading. The field-strenqth meter may be set on top
of the dash, on the hood, or at an elevated location
some distance from the car.
Change the whip length one -half inch, and again
check the field strength. Continue this procedure un-
til the point of maximum field strength is found. This
adjustment will be most critical on 75 rneters,
somewhat less critical on 40, and on 10 meters the
adjustment will be quite broad. After tuning the
antenna to resonance, the finals can be loaded to full
power.

2.5 MICROPHONE
Attach the rnicrophone connector to a suitable
rnicrophone, as shown in Figure 2-2 . Be sure the
microphone PTT switch is separate from the
microphone circuir. as shown in Figure 2-3.
It should be noted that a microphone with a 3P plug
using a common ground terminal should not be used.
The microphone input is designed for 500 t o
50 kohm microphones. The choice of microphone is
important for good speech qualit y, and should be
given serious consideration. The cryst al lattice filter
in the transceiver provides al! the restriction
necessary on audio response, and further restriction
in the microphone is not required. It is more irnpor-
tant to have a microphone with a srnooth, flat
response throughout the speech range.
Follow the microphone manufacturer's instructions
for connecting the microphone cable to the plug.
With many microphones, the push-to-talk button
must be pressed to make microphone audio
available. For VOX operation, thi s unwanted feature
may be eliminated, if desired, by opening the
microphone case and permanently connecting the
contacts which control the microphone audio.

2.6 KEY
If CW operation is desired, connect a key to the KEY
jack. Use shielded cable, and a standard (mono or
2Pl phone plug.
2 .7 EXTERNAL SPEAKER ANO
HEAOPHONES
Receive audio output from the TS-1 SOS is 1.5 watts
at 4 to 160hms. The TS-1S0S has a built-in
speaker. An external speaker may be connected to
the SPEAKER jack on the rear panel. The speaker
may be an S-ohm permanent-magnet type, 4 inches
or larger. The internal speaker is disconnected when
an external speaker is used. Headphones should also
be 4 to 16 ohms impedance. When the headphones
are connected to the front-panel PHONES jack. the
speaker is disabled.
2.9 GROUNO
To prevent electric shock, and reduce the possibility
of TVI and BCI, connect the transceiver to a good
earth ground through as short and heavy a lead as
possible.
2.8 RTTY (FSK)
For RTTY operation, connect a teletypewriter to the
RTTY KEY jack on the rear panel of the transceiver.

1 METER
The meter monitors six different funct ions, depend-
ing on METER switch position. In rece ive the meter
is automatically an S-meter, and shows received
signal strength on a sca le of O to 40 dB over S9 . In
transrnit , met er function depends on the switch
position, as described below.
2 METER SWITCH
This determines the transmit meter function:
ALC: (Automat ic Level Control) - Thi s position
monitors internal ALC voltage, or the ALC
vo ltage feedback from a linear amplifier
operated with the TS-' 80S. For SSB
operation the ALC reading for vo ice peaks
should be within the ALC range. Reducing
the RF Pow er control INCREASES t he ALC
read ing. IThis f unc t ions si mi larly t o the RF

Note: Final transi stor IC collector current
sho uld be read on t he O - 20 A sca le.
RF: (Output Power ) - Thi s monitors the relati ve
ou tput po wer. (No separat e sca le is provid-
ed f or thi s position. )

4 .1 PRELlMINARY PROCEDURE
Set the RF PWR control t o zero (to prevent acciden-
tal transmit before tuning) and the MOOE switch to
SSB or CW. The TS-180S must be operated into a
50 ohm antenna or dummy load w ith an SWR less
than 1.5: 1. Random length wi re antennas or light-
bulb dummy loads cannot be used. Conventional
half-wave dipol es and beam antennas should on ly be
used at or near their resonant frequency. Exceeding
an SWR of 1. 5: 1 can damage components in the
output stage.
Be sure to have completed all required cabl ing as
described in Section 2.
With a suitable antenna and microphone (or key)
connected to the transceiver. place the TS-180S
switches as listed in Table 4-1 .

MHz figures are blanked, w hile kHz f igures only are
displayed. At the same time, O O O O appears at t he
display w indow (left) . When using the TS- 180 S in
the display/memory rnode, al so depress the DSP/M1
momentary switch.
4 .5 DSP/Ml SWITCH
Th i s momentary switch is used to display memory
after depressing the DSP/DIFF button. The kHz
f igures displayed at the right side of the window
move to the left, and O O appears at the right. When
the main tuning is turned c1ockwise, the left display
holds, while the right display figures rise. Th e first
f requency is now memorized at the left . Wit h this
feature, you can change f requ ency up or down while
keeping the original fr equ ency displayed. This
switch can also be used to me mori ze or hol d t he first
f requency for lat er ret urn . You can read how f ar fr om
the original frequency you have shifted up or down.
When th e main t uni ng is turned co unter-c loc kwise a
- sign appears and the di splay at ri ght shows
decrease in fr equency . Th i s means that when the
main tu ni ng is adj usted you can always read the dif-
ference f rom t he original frequency. When t he
DSP/ M 1 switch is depressed an approximate 3 kHz
pulse tone is heard, which indicat es data entry. By
turning the main tuning kno b up or down, an
algebraic sum of the right and left figures is
displayed to the left , while O O appears t o the rig ht .
When the DSP/ DI FF switch i s depressed, t he full
original frequency is displayed. Fig . 4-2 gives an ex-
ample of this operation. Al so, depress this switch to
read actual f req uency after shifting.
The f requencies displayed are algebraically summed
and a full display is available. When the DSP/DIFF
switch is again depressed, a differential di splay of
the first frequency and the one shifted fr equ enc y ap-
pears.
For example, assume a sta rt ing f requency of

4 .6 RF GAIN
RF GAIN is contr oll ed by changing the AGC circuit
volt age. Adjust the RF GAIN control so the S-meter
does not deflect excessively. This minimizes noi se
during reception and sti ll allows the S-meter to in-
dicate correct signal strength. For normal operation,
the cont rol should be fully clockwise for maximum
sensitivity.
4 .7 RF ATT. RGC POSITION
The input to the receive RF amplifier is attenuated
approxi mately 20 dB, providi ng distortionless recep-
tion. Thi s feature may be used in cases of receiver
overload, caused eit her by a strong local signal, or
duri ng weak signal recept ion when a strong adjacent
signal may blank the rece iver .
When a st rong signal appears adjacent to the signal
being received, place this switch to the " RGC" posi -
tion, and t he RF gain control circuit is activated to
prevent cross modulation . The RGC function is a
valuable and unique f eatu re of the TS- l 80S, preven-
ting fr ont-end overload, which is a prob lem con-
t inge nt t o many t ransceivers. When t he RF AGC is
activated by adjacent-channel signals, the S-meter
reading f or t he on-channel signal will be reduced .
The RF AGC detects adjace nt st rong signals at the
fi rst mixer and automatically activates t he PIN diode
attenuator. When the RF AGC functions, cross-
modulation at the fir st mi xer it prevent ed. When the
RGC/ ATT LED light s, it indicat es a st rong signal is
operat ing adjacent to yo ur operat ing fr equency, and
the RF AGC is operati ng to redu ce this unwanted
signa!.
Note: The RGC ind icator may Iight when the
16
tion cuts the higher f requencies. (These pro-
cedures are rever sed tor Nor mal SSB operation
below 20 meters.) Adjust the cont rol to your
listening preference. The IF SHIFT is also effec-
t ive in eliminating interference from adjacent
receive signals.
2. Ad justment of tone quality during CW operation.
For detai led descriptions, refer to Section 4.1 5
" CW operation" .
3. FSK (RTTYI operation at 170-Hz shift.
For detailed description, refer to Section 4.17
" RTTY operation".
4 . 12 TRANSMIT OPERATION
Connect the TS-l 80S to a 50 ohm dummy load or
antenna system wit h an SWR of less than 1.5: 1
BEFORE making any transmitter adj ustments.
CAUTION: The TS-l 80S is designed lor use with
antenna systems having a nominal impedance 01 50
ohms. It is very important that the wide-band l inal
amplifier is operated efficiently. Antenna system
SWR shoul d be made less than 1.5:' . For im-
pedance matching between the antenna system and
the transceiver, we recommend use 01 the optional
AT-'80 Antenna Tuner.
4.10 NOISE BLANKER
The TS-l BOS has a sophisticated built -in noise

4 .14 SSB OPERATION
Adjust the TS-1S0S as described in Sect ion 4.12
and 4 .13. Connect a microphone to the MIC connec-
tor , Key the transmitter and speak into the
microphone in a normal tone of voice. Adjust the
MIC control until voice peaks are just within the
1 S dB COMP range on the meter scale. With the
METER switched to the ALC position, readings
should be within the ALC zone, or the transmitter
will be driven to distortion.
PTT OPERATlON
By using a microphone equipped wi th a PTT switch.
the transceiver is ready for PTT operat ion. To key,
depress the PTT switch. The STANDBY switch is left
in the REC position.
MIC GAIN CONTROL
This co ntrol adjusts the microphone input level. Set
the mete r switch to COMP and key the t ransceiver.
Speak into t he micropho ne and adjust t he MIC GAIN
for 1S dB indication on peaks. Th i s limit applies to
both FAST or SLOW compression. The TS-1 SOS will
accept eit her a low or high impedance microphone
(SOO to SO k .
ALC Meter readi ng
The all-transistor Final has an ALC circuit which pro-
tects the t ransistors and maintains uniform t ransmit-
ter output.
When the meter read ing i s within the ALC zone, SSB
output is distortion-free.
ALC level is preadjusted in the IF unit .
The transmit IF ou tput is mai ntained constant by
the compression ampl ifiers in the IF stage.
Therefore, ALC level remains constant even
when the MIC GAIN is adj usted through the level
at which the COMP circuit begins to operate.
Use the ALC meter position to check Drive level.
Use the COMP meter position to check MIC input
level.

VOX (Vaice Operated Transmit) OPERATION
Adjust the t ransceiver as described in paragraph
4 .14. Place the STANDBY switch in VOX and, while
speaking into the microphone, increase the VOX
GAIN until the VOX just operates. For VOX operation
it is desirable to clase-tal k the microphone to prevent
background noises from tripping the TS-1 SOS into
transmit mode. Check that voice peaks are still
within the 1S dB COMP range on the meter. If
necessary, readjust the MIC GAIN.
If the VOX circuir is activated by speaker noise, ad-
just the ANTI-VOX control (on the rear panel) . In-
crease the control as necessary for proper VOX
operat ion. Excessive ANTI -VOX will inhibit VOX
operation.
Do not use more VOX or ANTI-VOX gain than
necessary. If the VOX circuit transfers between
words, or holds too long, adjust the hold time cons-
tant by the DELAY control.
Note: In VOX operation. time co nstants change
automatically f or CW and SSB modes. The ha Id time
i s sho rt for CW operation, and a Ilttle longer in SSB
mode.
4.15 CW OPERATION
Adjust the TS- 1SOS as described in Section 4 .12
and 4. 13 . Connect a key to the rear panel CW KEY
jack, and place the MODE switch to CW (WI DE or
NAR). Place the standbv switch to SEND for
transmitting.
CW sidetone is monitored through the transceiver's
speaker.
OPERATlON WITHOUT CW FILTER
To receive CW, set the IF SHIFT control to its center
position and the RIT switch to OFF. Adjust the rnain
tuning for about an SOO-Hz beat and your transmit
frequency will be tuned (zeroed) to the transmit fre-
quency of the station you are receiving. During
reception, the side tone is activated by the key (VOX
off) . In this case, listen to the side tone superirnpos-
ed on the rece iv e signal and adjust the main tuning
for similar side tone and incoming CW aud io tone. By
doi ng so, t ransmit frequencies will be zeroed. You
may now adjust the RIT fo r a pitch which suits your
preference. If interference is encoutered, adj ust the
IF SHIFT. For more convenlent and effective CW
operation, use of t he optional YK-SSC CW fi lte r is
recommended.

transceiver is set in transmit mode when t he key is
depressed, and returns to receive mode w hen t he
key is released. For semi -break-in operation, place
th e STANDBY swit ch t o VOX. Adjust t he DELAY

4 .16 OPERATION WITH A LINEAR
AMPLlFIER (See Fig, 5-3)
The ACSY connect or on the rear panel provides for
int erconnect ion w ith an amplifier. See the ampli f i er
inst ruct ion manual to determine whether th e linear
requires a normally opened or normally closed (dur-
ing receivel relay contacto Connect th e amplif ier con-
trol line to either pin 5 (N.C.) or pin 4 (N.O.during
rec eive) . Connect the Ground (Shield l of the Control
Line to Pin 2 and Pin 7. Connect amplifier ALC to pin
6 of the ACSY connector. The TS-1 SOS output is
quite adequate to drive most amplifiers to full rat ed
output.
4.17 RTTY OPERATION
For RTTY FSK operat ion. a demodulator and
teletypewriter are necessar y . Th e demodulator
should be des igned to operate from an audio input
and be equipped w it h a filt er f or 2 12 5/229 5 Hz
INARROW, 170 Hz shift).
To key the FSK circuir, insert a relay coil into the
teletypewriter closed loop circui t and connect the
relay contacts t o t he RTTY KEY jack on the rear
panel. Fi g. 4-S shows the relat ionship between
transmit and receive frequencies. Setting the MODE
switch to FSK automatically decreases final stage in-
put power permitting extended operation .
For AFSK or SSTV operation, signal may be input
t hrough t he MIC Jack. Set MIC GAIN or RF PWR for
approximately 50 % Duty ( 112 Power). Read ei ther
on the RF or IC meter position.
4.18 SPEECH PROCESSOR
The TS- 1SOS Speech Processor uses the receive IF
amplifier as a compression amplifier during transmito
A separate AGC ci rc uit is provided in the transmit
mode. The processor is always ON during transmis-

4 .22 MOBllE OPERATION (Fig. 4- 11)
The TS- 180S, being OC operated, is ideal f or mobile
operation. Satisfactory mobil e operation is achieved
through proper power and antenna connection, and
thoughtful transceiver installation and adjustment.
Note 1. If a high output microphone is used without
attenuation, excessively high COMP will be
indicated (more than 15 dBI even with the
MIC Control at the 9 o'clock position. Use
the attenuator to correct this condition.

4 .21 FIXED CHANNEL OPERATION
A fi xed channel is available for common use on all
bands by installi ng a crystal in the socket on the Pre
Mi x unit (X50-1 570-00) . The cryst al frequency can
be comput ed by the following formula :
Note: When the thermal protection circuit IS ac-
tivated, the transceiver decreases transmit power
until the heat sink cools.
1) 5WR Oetection
As the antenna system SWR rises , reflected
power increases, making the load on the f inal
transistors excessive. When SWR exceeds 3 : 1
(at 14 MHz) this circuit decreases transmit
power output ,
4 .20 MIC ATTENUATION
The TS-1 80S is provided with a speech processor
capable of 30 dB maximum compression. Since the
gain between the microphone and transmit IF
amplifiers is quite high, microphone gain control for
shall ow compression with a high output microphone
may be difficult . In such cases, a 20 dB attenuator
can be inserted between the microphone and input
ampli fier. The changeover can be done by changing
a j umper pin on t he IF unit , as shown in Fig. 4 . 9 .
If compression level is in excess of these Iimits,
deterioration of transmit sound quality due to
compression distortion will result .
When SLOW COMP is selected, the meter returns
slowly . Thi s is normal and is not a malfunct ion.
2) Thermal Protect ion
The TS-180S is furnished with a heat sink large
enough to dissipate final -stage heat. However,
when final -stage temperatu ra rises abnormally
due to continuous transmission in CW. transmis-
sion with an incorreet load or over long sessions ,
this protection circuit detects the core
te mperatu re of the final -stage transforme r and
decreases transmit power output ,
This ci rcuit resets when the heat sink t empera-
ture returns to ambient level.
4.19 PROTECTION CIRCUITS
The TS-180S has an all solid- state final sta ge. To
protect the f inal tr ansistors, t wo protect ion ci rcui ts
are provided.
Note: If the protection ci rcuit operates. reduce the

NOTES:
1. Some cars have a ur ethane bumper . For such
cars, ground the antenna mount t o t he bod y.
2 . When tuning th e newly inst all ed antenna, use
the RF PWR cont rol for minimum transmit power.
First , determi ne that the cars pow er system (the bat-
tery and generator or alte rna tor) w ill handle the in-
creased load of the TS- l 80 S.
Connect t he power cable to the battery terminal s.
with consi deration to current requirements and noise
prevention. The maximum current drawn by the
TS- 180S reaches to between 18 and 20 A when
transmitting. Th erefore, the cable should be as short
as possible. Rout e battery and antenna leads away
from all high vo ltage secondary circui t s to prevent
i gnit ion no ise interference.
MOBILE ANTENNA
(1) Antenna Installation
HF antennas are larger, have more w ind load, and
are heavier than VHF antennas. A bumper mount is
recommended for general use. The mount must be
perfectly grounded t o t he car body since the body
it self f unct ions as t he ground pl ane for the mobil e
antenna. (Refer to Fig . 4-121

When the antenna i s bumper mounted, th e coaxial
cable can be routed through a drain hole into the
trunk.
(3 1 Antenna Adj ust ment (Fig . 4-12)
Some mobile antennas are not designed for SO-ohm
impedance. In this case, impedance match ing be-
tween the antenna and the coaxial cable (SO O) i s re-
quired . This can be ach ieved by using an antenna
match ing dev ice or coupler.
The antenna should initiall y be adjusted wi t h a di p
met er , then impedance mat ching should be checked
with an SWR met er . (See Fig. 4-12)
Pref erably SWR should be less than 1.S:1 f or
satisfactory op er ati on . Ref er to the antenna inst ruc -
tion manual for the manufacturers tuning recommen-
dations.
NOISE REDUCTION
In motor vehieles, ign ition no i se is generat ed by the
i gnit ion coi l or distributor. Other sources of noi se in-
el ude the wiper or heater motors.
Although the TS-180S is equi pped wi t h a no ise
blanker to minimize ign it i on noise, it i s imper ative
that sorne preventive measures be t aken to reduce
the no i se to the lowest possible level .
(1) Ant enna Location Selection
Since ignit ion noi se is generat ed by t he ve hic les

6. 1 Receiver
The receiver is of the single conversion t ype using an
8 .83 MHz IF circuit.
The NB (noise blanker) circuit is of the double con-
version t ype. The signar from the ANT or RX ANT is
applied through the PIN diode (BA379 x 2) RF ATT
circuit in the RF uni t to the antenna coil in the Coil
Pack unit.
The signar is stepped up by the antenna coil, amplilied
by the RF AMP 03 (3SK73) in the RF unit, and is led
to the balanced mixer circuit 07 and 08 (2SK125 x 2)
via the buffer amplifier 0 6 (2 SK125), to obtain an
8 .83 MHz IF signal. This IF signal is fed to the IF unit
(X48-1 240-00) where it is divided into two signals.
One signar is amplified by 03 (2SA 101 5), detected by
D1 and D2 (IN60), and is amplified by 04(2SC945).
Then, it is fed to the RF uni t and amplified by 0 4
(2SCS45) to control the RF ATT circuit o
The other signar is appl ied to t he ceramic fi lter (CF1)
via buffer ampli f ier 0 1 (2 SC460). Th e signar from 01
is also fed to t he NB MI X circui t 06. The signar from
CF1 is ampl if ied by 0 2 (2SK19) and is f ed to the
crystal fi lte r (XF1 fo r SSB; XF2 [op tion) lor CW)
th r ou gh th e No i s e Bl an k er gate D7- 10
(1S158 7 x 4 ). The signar f rom the crystal filter is
ampli fied by 01 5, 16 and 17 (3SK73 x 3) and is f ed
to t he buffer ampli fie r 028 (2SC4 60) via the (op -
tionall SSB filter. Thi s sig nar is then det ect ed by the
product detector D43 and 44 (IN60 x 4 ) t o pr oduce
an audio signal. Audio passes through the active LPF
029 (2 SC10 00 ), and is fed to the AF VOX unit. This
signar is applied to the power amplifier Q 1 to dr iv e
the speaker .
6 .2 Transmi tter
The microphone signar is applied to the MIC preamp-
lifier 032 (2SC1 00 0) , the MIC gain control, and the
MIC amplifier 033 (TA7140P). Microphone input
impedance may be 500 ohms to 50 k ohms. If the
microphone output level is too high, the 20 dB at -
tenuator can be inserted by moving the jumper on
the IF unit. The MIC ampl ifier (033) output is f ed t o
the balanced modulator D60-64 (IN60 x 4) where it
is swit ched by the carrier signar from the buffer
ampl ilier 034 (2SC460) to produce a DSB signal. This
DSB signar is applied through buffer ampl ifier 035
(2 SK19) to the crystal filter and is converted to an
SSB signal. Amplified by th e 3- stage IF amplifier
015-17 (3 SK731, it is fed to the optional 2nd SSB
crystal filter. 0 1 5-017 also f unction as t he pro-
cessor Compression amplif iers, operating con-
tinuously during SSB t ransmissi on . Processor con-
trol is accomplished by swi tching th e tra nsmit ALC
circuit time constant f or the Com pression ampli fiers
28
to SLOW or FAST. The signal Irom the Compression
circui t is led to the optional SSB crystal lilter,
amplified by IF amplifier 022 (3SK73), and applied
to the RF unit. The IF amplifier 022 also controls RF
POWER, external and internal ALC. The signar fed to
the balanced mixer 04 and 05 (3 SK73) in the RF
unit is mixed with the VCO (Voltage ControlJed
OscilJator) output to produce the final frequency,
which passes through a 1-stage tuning circuit and is
fed to 01 (3SK73) where the power is reduced lor
gain compensation and protection operation. This
signar also passes through the B.P.F. (Band Pass
Filter) and is amplified by wide band amplifiers 02
(2 SC1 595) and 03 (2 SC741), and output is fed to
the Dri ve unit through which 10 W output is obtain-
ed by 01 (2 SC2075) and the push-pull amplifiers
0 2 and 03 (2 SC2 50S x 2) . This output dri ves t he
FINAL unit where it is amplified to 100 W out put by
0 1 and 02 (SRF1714 x 2) . The 100 W output is fed
to the antenna through the LPF (Low Pass Filt er ) and
the antenna relay. In the LPF unit, the antenna SWR
is detected and the rectified error voltage is f ed back
t o O1 in t he Coil Pack uni t to red uce the drive f or
Output prot ect ion. Th e LPF unit also detects ALC.
6.3 NB CIRCUIT
Th e TS-1 80S NB (noise blankerl circuit varies the in-
put of the noise amplilier across th e IF bandpass to
obtain excelJent noise separation. The IF signar fed
to 01 (2SC460) 01 the IF unit (X48-1240-00) is
divided into two signals. One signal is applied to the
NB gate circuit D7-1 O (1 S1 587 x 4) via the ceramic
filt er and IF AMP 02 (2SK1S). The ot her signar is fed
to the NB mixer 06 (2SK19) where it is mi xed with
the 8,375 kHz signar Irom 014 (2SC4 60 ), the NB
osci lJat or. Thus, th e out put of 06 is converted to
8,830-8,375 =455 kHz. Since the NB oscilJat or
can be varied by 75 kHz with the NB TUNE con-
trol , the out put of 06 is adjustable from 530 t o
380 kHz. This output is amplili ed by 07-9
(2SC460) and detected by D3 and D4 ( 1N60). The
detected out put is DC amplil ied by O10 (2SCS4 5),
011 (2SA1015) and 012 (2SCS45), and l ed to the
NB gate circuit D7-1 O. In this circuit the input signal
is switched OFF according to pulse noise duration.
The switching period is generally several micro-
seconds and does not affect the signar when
demodulated. The total circuit has a signal subci rcuit
and a noise amplifier circuit ; the signar path is ad-
justed for noise timing beca use 01 the difference in
the circuits (phase lag). This signal-to-noise timing is
obtained by the ceramic filter inserted in the signal
circuit o
6 .7 IF DUAL FILTER
The IF amplilier has a crystal lilter XF1 at its input . If
the option 2nd SSB lilter (YK-88S) XF3 is added to
the output 01 the IF amplilier, the lollowing 3 effects
will occur. (The IF amplilier now has two SSB lilters,
hence the name IF Dual Filter.)

6.6 SPEECH PROCESSOR
The TS-180S speech processor uses the receiver IF
ampl ili ers as a compression amplil ier during
transmission (see IF unit X48-1240-00) . The signal
lrom the SSB l ilter IXF 1) is amplilied by the IF AMP
015, 16 and 17 13SK73). The output 01 017
passes through buffer amplilier 019 12SC460) and
is rectilied by D17 and 18 (1 N60) to detect signal
peaks. This rectilied output is amplilied by 021 and
is led back as an AGC voltage to 015, 16 and 17 to
maintain a constant signal amplit ude. Compression
is always ON. The transmit AGC circui t has both
SLOW and FAST t ime con st ants. In SLOW mode,
R115 (4 7 ohm) and C9 4 11 0 I' F) are connect ed t o
the RFB terminal th rou gh the CM 1 terminal to lorm a
SLOW time co nsta nt circuit along with R114
(2 .2 M ohm). In FAST mode, the CM 1 terminal is
shorted to the CM2 terminal to lorm a FAST time
constant circuit with R114 (2.2 M ohm), C93
(0.022 I'F) , C55, C58 and C61 (0 .0022 I'F). Selec-
tion 01 the AGC circuit t ime constant between
transmission and reception is made by relay RL1-2.
In receive mode, the gain 01 016 and 17 would be
too great lor transmission. This gain is reduced by
changing the sou rc e resistance 01 016 and 17 dur-
ing transmission. In receive mode, 018 is ON by
+8 V present on its base , holding the source
resi stance 01 016 and 17 to 330 ohms IR66 and
R70) . In transmit mode, 018 ls OFF because its base
voltage is O V, so the source resistance 01 01 6 and
17 is 470 ohms (R74) and circuit gain is reduced.
6.4 RF ATT CIRCUIT
The TS-180S RF ATT circuit, (shown in Fig. 6.1),
uses two pin-diodes to attenuate the input signa!.
The pin -diodes 18A379) have an excellent lorward
bias current vs. high Irequency resistance character-
istic. Therelore, the RF AMP bias voltage will always
sell -adjust to the point at which optimurn cross
modulation characteristi c is obt ai ned. By applying a
bias volt age to the RGC t erminal, the high Irequency
resistance 01 D1 and D2 is vari ed and the ci rcuit
lunctions as an attenuator. In Fig. 6.1 the input
signal lrom the antenna is led t o the coil pack RF
amplilier via the RAA terminal , Cl , Dl and C5 . 01
and 02 (2SC1815) lorm a differential amplili er. In
receive mode, + 8 Vis present on the RLR t erminal,
so 01 turns ON. Thus D1, connected to the coll ector
01 01, is lorward biased. When the ATT switch is
turned ON or RF AGC voltage is detected du e to a
high inp ut signal, DC voltage is applied to the RGC
terminal and , hence, 02 is energized and a current
Ilows to D2 . This reduces the resistance 01 D2
which in t erms 01 high Irequency, redu ces the
resistance between the signal circuit and ground,
and thus the input signal is attenuated. Differential
amplilier 01 current is also reduced which, in turn,
reduces D1 current , and thus D1 resistance is in-
creased. In transmit mode, the RLR terminal is
grounded, so 01 is OFF, D1 ls OFF, 02 is ON and D2
is ON. Thus, the input to the RFamplilier is grounded
and therelore separated frorn the antenna circuir.
eliminating any RF input during transmission.
6.5 PRE MIX UNIT
Various frequenci es are mixed in this unit . This unit
contains the FIX CH CAR oscillator FIX/M RIT, 01
(2SC460). 02 is a buffer amplilier lor the output ,
and 03 is a buffer ampli lier to l eed the FIX CHIVFO
output to th e memory unit. The VFO, ext ernal VFO
and memory input s are each l ed t o th e diode switch
D4, D3, D2 and D1, and to the low pass l ilter (DC to
8 MHz) where the harmonic component ls removed.
The input without harmonic component is led t o the
buffer amplilier 04 (2SC460). This output is mi xed
with the FIX/M RIT output (46.6 MHz) oscillator by
the DBM (double balanced modulator) 07
ISN76514N), through buffer amplilier 06 (2SC460).
This converted output is 40.0-40.5 MHz , which is
led through buffer amplilier 08 and 09 12SC460 x 2)
to the COUNTER ASSY unit. This signal is also mixed
with the CARRIER oscillator output 013, 14 and 15
12SC460) bythe DBM 011 (SN76514N). This output
ls 48.83-49.33 MHz, and is led to the PLL unit via
buffer amplilier 012 12SC460).

External noise or noise from the RF AMP and MIX
