(R) PRESELECT

This control pretunes the signal circuits for both transmit and receive. The PRESELECT circuit provides continuous permeability tuning throughout the frequency range of the transceiver.

(9) BAND

The BAND switch provides selection of the band desired. 160 through 10 meters.

(10) RF GAIN/CLARIFIER

The RF CAIN and CLARIFIER controls are mounted on concentric shafts. The RF GAIN control provides manual control of the gain levels of the RF and IF amplifiers on receive.

The CLARIFIER control allows manual offset of t2.5 kHz of either the transmit or receive freq II en cy . Se lection of transmi t or receive clarifier is made hy the two silver pushbuttons to the left of the CLARIFIER control.

(II)ATT

lhe ATT (RF attenuator) button provides insertion of a 20 d B attenuator in the incoming signal path to minimize receiver cross modulation caused by extremely strong local signals.

(12) PROC LEVEL/AF GAIN

The PROC LEVEL and AF GAIN controls are mounted on concentric shafts. The PROC LEVEL control allows manual control of the output level of the RF speech processor. The processor is actuated by pressing the silver pushbutton to the left of the PROC LEVEL control.

The AF GAIN control adjusts the audio output level at the speaker and phone jack. Clockwise ro L1 tion increases the audio ou tpu 1.

(13) TUNE

This pushbu tton, when depressed, places the transmitter in the "tune" condition for ten seconds for tuning purposes. After ten seconds, the transceiver is returned to the receive mode so as to prevent damage to the final amplifier tubes caused by excessive "key down" time during tune-up.

( 14) LOADING

This control tunes the output circuit of the pi network to match the antenna/feedline impedance.

(15) PLATE

This control tunes the plate circuit of the final amplifier.

(16) DIM

This control allows dimming of the meter and dial lamps.

(17) CARR/KEYER

The CARR and KEYER controls are mounted on concentric shafts. The CARR control varies the amount of carrier in the CW, AM, FSK, and FM models of operation.

The KEYER control varies the speed of the built-in Curtis 8044 IC electronic keyer.

(18) VOX GAIN

This control selects MOX/PIT/VOX transmitter relay control as well as adjusting the sensitivity of the VOX circuitry. The PTT position provides push-to-talk operation from a microphone PIT switch or a footswitch. The MOX position provides manual transmit. It must be returned to the PTT position for receiver recovery.

(19) APF FREQ

This knob, when actuated by turning on the APF swi tch, provides manual con trol for peaking the audio peak filter (APF) circuit on the desired signal. This control will find its chief usefulness on CW, because its bandwidth is much too narrow for normal SSB reception.

(20) SQL/MIC GAIN

The SQL and MIC GAIN controls are mounted on concentric shafts. The SQL control sets the squelch threshold level for FM reception.

The MIC GAIN control varies the audio level from the microphone amplifier stage. The control has sufficient range to permit the use of any low impedance (500 - 600 Ohm) crystal or dynamic microphone. Clockwise rotation increases the level of output from the microphone amplifier stage.

(21) FUNCTION SWITCHES: AMGC, APF/MONI, AGC, PO/IC/ALC, and NB/MARK

The AMGC switch activates a microphone gain threshold circuit which requires a particular

-- 6-

minimum input level from the microphone to trigger the microphone amplifier. Low-level background noise will not activate the transmitter with the AMGC in operation. This circuit may be considered a "microphone squelch" system. The M GAIN control functions normally with the AMGC system in operation.

When the APF /MONI switch is in the APF position, the audio peak filter (APF) circuitry is activated. The exact frequency of the audio peak is set by the APF FREQ knob. When this switch is placed in the MONI position, monitoring of the microphone level may be accomplished for operator convenience or tape recording both sides of a QSO. In the CW mode, CW side tone will be heard regardless of the position of the APF/MONI switch.

The AGC switch controls the length of the recovery time for the receiver AGC circuitry. This switch provides slow or fast recovery, and will also turn off the AGC if desired.

The PO/IC/ ALC switch will hereafter be referred to as the METER switch. In the PO position, relative transmitter output power can be observed. In the IC position, transmitter final amplifier cathode current may be measured. In the ALC position, transmitter ALC voltage may be read. When the FT-902DM is in the receive mode, the meter functions as an "S" meter.

The NB/MARK switch provides for actuation of either the Noise Blanker (NB) or crystal calibrator (MARK). The marker oscillator can produce calibration signals at intervals of either 25 kHz or 100 kHz by proper positioning of a switch inside the cabinet.

(22) POWER

This is the main on/off switch for the transceiver. In the OFF position, the memory circuits are disabled, so that when the transceiver is turned to ON again, the memory circuits will have to be rese t.

(23) HEATER

With the HEATER switch in the down position, the transmitter tube heaters are turned off. This reduces battery drain to I. I amp and thus permits long periods of listening without excessive battery drain. Placing this switch in the up position provides supply voltage to the tube heaters, and after 30 seconds of warmu p the transmitter is ready for operation. This switch operates in both the AC and DC modes.

(24) PHONES

This is a standard 1/4" phone jack for accommodation of headphones. The internal speaker is disabled when headphones are plugged into this jack.

(25) MIC

This four-conductor jack accommodates the microphone plug for microphone input as well as for PTT actuation.

INSTALLATION

This transceiver is designed to be a single-unit station for fixed, portable, or mobile operation. Consequently, power supply connections providing for operation from a variety of source voltages are available. This system provides the flexiblity required for changing locations or quick moves from fixed to mobile operation.

BASE STATION INST ALLA TION

The FT-902DM is designed for use in many areas of the world using supply voltages that may differ from the operator's local supply voltage. For this reason, be sure that the voltage marked on the rear of the transceiver agrees with the local AC supply voltage. THIS INSPECTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE CONNECTING THE AC POWER CORD TO THE POWER OUTLET.

CAUTION

PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT IF IMPROPER AC SUPPLY VOLTAGE IS APPLIED TO THE TRANSCEIVER.

The transceiver should be connected to a good earth ground. The ground lead should be made with a heavy braid wire and should be connected to the GND terminal on the rear apron of the transceiver.

We do not recommend the use of power connectors other than the ones supplied by Yaesu. If a rig brought in for servicing is blowing fuses every time you plug it in, check to make sure that no "improvements" have been made to the power cord through substitution of or modification to the power connector.

For base station installation, the only important consideration that need be made is to ensure adequate circulation around the unit. Do not place books or papers on or around the cabinet, nor should the unit be placed on top of another heat-generating device such as a linear amplifier. Avoid heat ducts and window locations which are exposed to the hot sun, and you will keep your transceiver running at full speed for a long, long time.

Be certain to ground the transceiver through a heavy, braided cable less than 10 feet long. Cold water pipes in newer houses probably are unsatisfactory as grounding posts; it is much better

-11--

practice to use a system of one or more ground rods, with the ground line securely bonded to the ground system.

MOBILE INSTALLATION

(Note: The DC-DC converter described herein is built-in on the FT-902DM, and is an available option on the FT-902D/SD/DE models)

The FT-902DM will operate satisfactorily from any 13.5 Volt DC negative-ground battery source by connecting the DC power cord to the rear panel receptacle. For under-dash mounting, a special mobile mounting bracket is available from your dealer. In mobile installations the transceiver should be suited away from heater ducts. No special precautions need be observed if adequate ventilation spaces is available. A minimum of two inches of air space above the cabinet top and on all sides is recommended to allow proper air flow around the cabinet. Never stack other units above or below the transceiver since the accumulated heat from both units could cause damage.

The transceiver requires an average of 14 amps on transmit, with 20 amps on voice peaks. The DC power cable comes equipped with a 20 amp fuse. When making connections to the car battery, be absolutely certain that the RED lead is connected to the positive (+) terminal and the BLACK lead is connected to the negative (-) terminal. Reversed connections could permanently damage the transceiver.

o

The BLACK lead should, preferably, run directly to the negative terminal of the battery. Using the car frame as a negative connection or connecting the RED lead to a positive point such as the ignition switch places the transceiver in the same current path as noise-creating devices, thus failing to take advantage of the filtering action of the battery. The power cable should be kept away from ignition wires and should be as short as possible to minimize voltage drop and to provide a low impedance path from the transceiver to the battery.

Before connecting the power cable to the transceiver, check the battery voltage with the engine running (battery charging). If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts DC, the regulator should be readjusted so that the highest charging rate does not exceed 15 Volts. The transceiver should always be switched OFF while the car engine is being started to prevent voltage transients from damaging power supply components.

ANTENN A CONSIDERA nONS

The FT-902 transceivers are designed for operation using an antenna system presenting a 50-75 ohm resistive load at the antenna jack. Amateur installations seldom meet this requirement over the entire spread of every band, but the final amplifier pi network is sufficiently forgiving to allow for minor deviations from the target figure. However, significant departures from the 50-75 ohm range will result in seriously degraded transceiver performance.

If an open-wire feedline is used, or if the input impedance of the antenna system presents a very high or very low impedance at the coaxial input, some sort of antenna tuner must be used to provide a 50 - 75 Ohm unbalanced feedpoint for the transceiver.

For mobile operation, most of the commerciallyavailable antennas on the market will provide good results if care is taken to tune the antenna for minimum SWR. The outer conductor of the coaxial cable should be securely grounded to the automobile chassis at the antenna mount.

OPERATION

The tuning procedure for this transceiver is not complicated. However, care should be exercised when tuning so that peak performance of the equipment is secured. The following paragraphs describe the procedure for receiver and transmitter operation.

INITIAL CHECK

Before connecting the transceiver to a power source, carefully examine the unit for any visible damage. Check that all modules are firmly in place and that the controls and switches are operating normally. Make sure that the voltage specification marked on the rear panel matches your supply voltage, and that the line fuse on the rear panel matches the supply voltage; for 117 VAC, use a 5 amp fuse, and for 220 V AC use a 3 amp fuse. For DC operation a fuse holder is installed in the DC cable, and a 20 amp fuse should be installed here.

FREQUENCY SELECTION

Frequency readout for the FT-902DM includes both analog and digital readout. The analog readou t dial shows calibrations at the 100 kHz and 10kHz points, and is marked, as well, in 1 kHz increments for fine tuning. The digital readout displays all digits of the operating frequency, with resolution down to 100 Hz accuracy.

RECEIVE OPERATION

(l) Preset the controls and switches as indicated:

POWER OFF

HEATER OFF

VFO Switch depressed

VOX GAIN PTT position

RF GAIN Fully clockwise

AF GAIN Adjust subsequently for com-

fortable level

BAND Desired band

MODE Desired mode

PRESELECT .. Desired band segment

(2) Turn the POWER switch to ON. The meter will light up and the operating frequency will be displayed on the dial window. Adjust the AF GAIN control for a comfortable listening level, and adjust the PRESELECT control for maximum receiver noise or signal level. The PRESELECT control may require repeaking as the main tuning dial is tuned across the band.

(3) The RX CLARIFIER may be utilized if the received signal is drifting. Pushing the RX button and rotating the CLARIFIER control will provide a means of offsetting the receiver frequency ±2.5 kHz without changing the transmitting frequency. A red LED indicator will light up when the CLARIFIER is in use.

(4) When pulse-type noise is encountered, the NB (Noise Blanker) switch should be activated, providing effective suppression of this type of noise.

(5) Rejection of adjacent-channel interference may be accomplished by several means. The REJECT control may be utilized to place a steep-skirt 30 dB notch attenuation on any interfering signal within the IF passband. The WIDTH control varies the center frequency of one of two IF filters (the other is fixed and presents a boundary for narrowing the passband). Varying the WIDTH control varies the IF selectivity from approximately 300 Hz to 2.4 kHz (at 2.4 kHz the WIDTH control is at "0" and the two filters have the same center frequency). Clockwise rotation from the center ("0") position makes the passband narrow toward the high frequency side, while counter-clockwise rotation narrows the passband on' the lowfrequency side.

(6) For CW reception, the APF (Audio Peak Filter) may be activated. This filter has a 100 Hz peak bandwidth with very steep skirts so as to provide single-signal reception for CW, with insertion loss of less than 1 dB when the APF control is tuned exactly to the signal frequency. The APF FREQ control varies the peak frequency from approximately 400 Hz to 900 Hz. The operator will observe that the APF system provides a significant

-13-

improvement in signal-to-noise ratio. The selectivity of the APF circuit may be varied by adjusting VRso1 under the top cover.

(7) For extremely strong signals, the ATT (RF attenuator) switch may be pressed to activate a 20 dB attenuation of the incoming signal. This should prevent any chance of overload of the receiver front end.

TRANSMITTER TUNE-UP

The following tune-up procedure must be performed prior to commencing operation on the desired mode: LSB, USB, CW, FSK, AM, or FM. See the. paragraphs relating to the specific mode after basic transmitter tune-up is described.

Connect a dummy load or matched antenna to the coaxial fitting on the rear apron. Preset the controls as follows:

POWER OFF

HEATER OFF

CARR Fully counter-clockwise position

MIC GAIN Fully counter-clockwise position

AMGC OFF

METER switch . .IC

SELECT VFO (Depressed)

MODE USB or LSB

PLATE Desired band segment

PRESELECT Desired band segment

LOADING To position shown in table

PROC OFF (Not depressed)

TUNE OFF (Not depressed)

CLAR TX OFF (Not depressed)

VOX GAIN PTT position

Turn the POWER and HEATER switches to ON. From a cold start, allow 60 seconds after the HEATER switch is turned on for warm-up of the transmitter tubes. Be certain that the accessory plug is inserted in the accessory plug is inserted in the accessory socket; without this plug being so connected, there will be no power applied to the tube heaters. Heater voltage is supplied through pins 1 and 2 of the accessory socket.

Note:

LOADING positions are nominal. Minor variations from positions shown are to be expected.

Set the VOX GAIN control to MOX. The meter will now read final amplifier resting cathode current. This should read .05 (50 m A). * If it is not, adjust the bias control located under the top cover near the rear of the set. Set the METER switch to ALC and adjust the ALC control under the top cover for full scale deflection of the meter. Return the meter switch to IC and the VOX GAIN control to PTT.

*Note: On the FT-902SD, resting cathode current should be .025 (25 rnA).

PRE-TUNING

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Subsequent transmitter tuning utilizes the TUNE button instead of MOX for actuating the transmitter. When pressed, the TUNE button causes the transmitter to be activated for ten seconds, after which time the FT- 902DM returns to the receive condition. This is a protective feature that should not be nullified by use of the MOX control.)

(1) Adjust the PRESELECT control for maximum receiver noise level.

(2) Depress the TUNE button. Rotate the CARR control until the meter reading rises just above the normal idling current of .05 (50 m A).

(3) Adjust the PRESELECT con trol for a maximum meter indication.

Caution: if t~e meter reading exceeds .1 (100 rnA) reduce the setting of the CARR control.

14--

(4) Rotate the PLATE control for a minimum meter reading ("dip" 10 final amplifier cathode current).

(5) Push the TUNE button again to return the transceiver to the receive condition.

FINAL TUNING

Final peak tuning utilizes the relative power output position of the METER switch. At full rated power into a 50 Ohm load, the meter will read approximately 1/2 to 2/3 full scale. If the PO reading is too high (off scale) or too low (1/4 scale or less) and the load impedance is very close to 50 Ohms, the PO AD] control on the rear apron may be adjusted so as to provide 1/2 to 2/3 scale deflection at full power. Once the PO meter is calibrated, off-scale meter deflections are the result of reflected power due to high SWR, and corrective action may be required in the antenna system.

Final transmitter peaking is described below:

(I) Set the METER switch to the PO position and rotate the CA.RR control to the II o'clock position.

(2) Press the TUNE button and rotate the PRESELECT control for a maximum meter reading. Press the TUNE bu tton again to return to the receive condition.

(3) Press the TUNE button and rotate the LOADING control for a maximum meter reading. Press the TUNE button again to return to the receive condition.

(4) Press the TUNE button and rotate the PLATE control for a maximum meter reading. Press the TUNE button again to return to the receive condition.

(5) Repeat steps 2 through 4, advancing the CARR control approximately 2 units for each set of adjustments until the CARR control is fully clockwise. The transmitter is now tuned for maximum power output.

(6) Return the CARR control to the fully counter-clockwise position. Return the METER switch to IC.

With familiarity, some of steps 2 - 4 may be performed within one press of the TUNE button, taking advantage of the 10-second timer. The operator is discouraged, through, from exceeding the lO-second limitation imposed by the timer through use of the MOX position or the microphone PTT switch.

SSB OPERATION

After completion of the above tuning procedure, set the MODE switch to USB or LSB as desired. Set the VOX GAIN control to PTT and activate the transmitter by pushing the microphone PTT switch or the footswitch, if used. While speaking in a normal voice into the microphone, advance the MIC GAIN control until the meter kicks down to the midscale of the green-colored portion of the meter scale.

Note: When the METER switch is set to IC, voice modulation peaks will indicate ISO - 200 mA. Actual peak current, however, is approximately 2 times the indicated value.

To set the sensitivity of the VOX system, begin with the VOX GAIN control in the PTT position. Advance the VOX GAIN and speak in a normal voice. The VOX GAIN control should be advanced until the voice actuates the transmitter (do not press the microphone PTT switch or footswitch, if used, during this adjustment).

Set the antitrip potentiometer under the top cover to the minimum point which prevents the speaker output from tripping the VOX. 00 not use more VOX GAIN nor antitrip than necessary. Adjust the delay potentiometer under the top cover for the desired release time.

If desired, the AMGC circuit may be activated. This circuit acts as a "microphone squelch;" that is, it initiates a threshold for microphone input which must be exceeded before output from the microphone amplifier will occur. This feature permits minor noises such as a TV in the operating room to be present without going out over the air. Adjustment of the AMGC delay time is made by a control under the top cover.

RF SPEECH PROCESSOR ADJUSTMENT (All models)

The FT-902DM speech processor, when properly adjusted, is designed to improve the in telligibility threshold at the receiving end by increasing the average SSB power output. RF clipping is applied to the IF signal, which is then filtered to remove harmonics and out of band intermodulation products.

After completing the basic transmitter tune-up, set the CARR control for 100 m A carrier level in the FM mode. Speak into the microphone in a normal voice. The MIC GAIN and PROC LEVEL controls have no effect in the FM mode.

For FM reception, the SQL control on the front panel should be advanced only as far as required to silence background noise. When adjusted just past the silencing threshold, the squelch circuitry will provide noise-free reception with maximum sensitivity to weak FM signals.

In areas of very high occupancy, where channels are crowded, an additional FM crystal filter is an available option.

DIAL CALIBRATION AND FREQUENCY DETERMINATION

The FT-902DM mixing scheme accounts for the difference in carrier frequencies between USB and LSB. For this reason, no recalibration is required. Once the calibration is properly aligned (at the factory, or in shop), no further adjustment is required for accurate frequency derivation. The 25 kHz or 100 kHz calibrator is included largely for alignment purposes, as it provides a useful reference signal for signal peaking, etc.

Frequency readout on the FT-902DM digital display is straightforward. The full operating frequency is displayed, with resolution to 100 Hz.

The analog display on the transceivers provides easy determination of the operating frequency. The frequency displayed on the analog sub dial is added to the lower band edge frequency.

For example, if the analog dial indicates 074, as shown in the example, and the BAND switch is on 40 meters (lower band edge: 700e kHz), the operating frequency will be 7074 kHz. By rotating the BAND switch, this position of the analog display will produce 14074 kHz for 20 meters, 21074 for 15 meters, etc. For 80 and 12 meters, the lower band edges are 3500 kHz and 24500 kHz, while for 160 meters the band edge is 1.5 MHz. Therefore, the dial should read 074 to produce 3"574 kHz, but 374 for 1874kHz. Be careful so as not to operate outside the amateur bands.

SELECT SWITCHES/MEMORY SYSTEM OPERATION

(Note: The memory unit is built-in on the DM model, optional on the D/SD/DE models)

Frequency control of the FT-902DM is by means of the internal VFO, the memory unit, an external VFO, or various combinations of the three.

17

Split-frequency control may be obtained with the memory system or the FV-901 OM synthesized scanning VFO. The switches involved in frequency control are as follows:

MR

This button recalls the memorized frequency for control of the transceive frequency.

TX MR This button recalls the memorized frequency for control of the transmit frequency.

RX MR This button recalls the memorized frequency for control of the receive frequency.

VFO

Frequency control is by means of the internal VFO as controlled by the main tuning knob.

EXT

This switch selects theFV-901 OM synthesized scanning VFO for frequency control as follows: with the EXT and MR bu ttons pushed, transceive frequency control is by means of the external VFO. With the EXT and TX MR. buttons pushed, the external VFO controls the transmit rrcquency while the internal VFO controls the receive frequency. With the EXT and RX MR buttons pushed, the external VFO controls the receive frequency while the in ternal VFO controls the transmit frequency.

M

This button is used to store a frequency in memory. THE FREQUENCY DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL READOUT WILL BE THE FREQUENCY STORED WHEN THE M BUTTON IS PRESSED. When the M button is pressed, the frequency previously stored in memory will be destroyed. When the power is turned off, the frequency is lost from memory.

Note: Because of "round-off error" the digital display and memory system may exhibit a 100 Hz difference between the VFO condition and the memory recall condition.

Operation of the memory system is perhaps best described by the use of some examples:

(I) You are operating on a net on 3970 kHz and must QSY down 10kHz to handle a piece of traffic. With the VFO button depressed and the main dial on 3970 kHz, press M; 3970 is now memorized. Move the main dial down to 3960 kHz to handle the message. When finished, press MR for instant return to 3970 kHz. The main dial may be left at 3960 kHz if further QSY to that frequency is anticipated. To return to 3960 kHz, simply press VFO.

(2) You are operating split frequency on 40 meter phone, and you hear OX I DX on 7090 kHz, listening for calls on 7205 kHz. With the VFO button depressed and the main dial on 7090 kHz, press M to store 7090 kHz in memory, and press RX MR to lock the receiver on 7090 kHz. Turn the main tuning dial to 7205 kHz; you will now be transmitting on 7205 kHz and listening on 7090 kHz. T a listen to the pile-u p on 7205 k Hz of stations calling DX lOX, push VFO; you will now be listening and transmitting on 7205 kHz, and another press of RX MR will return you to 7090 kHz for receive. If OX I DX should begin to drift slightly in frequency, push TX MR and M to store 7205 kHz in memory and lock the transmitter on that frequency. Place the main dial on 7090 kHz for precise tracking of the unstable DX I DX signal.

(3) You find DXIDX on 21270 kHz, working stations by order of call area. By pressing the M button, 21270 kHz may be stored in memory and the operator may periodically check to see if his call area is being acknowledged by pressing M R or RX MR.

Note: After the M button is pushed, the veo requires 10 seconds to stabilize on the memorized frequency. If one of the MR bu ttons is pushed during t his IO-second period, some "drifting" of the memorized frequency may be observed.

This transceiver utilizes PLL (Phase Locked Loop) circuitry. The receiver is a single-conversion type with a 8.9875 MHz IF. The following circuit description is tailored to the full-feature FT-902DM, and some of the features and circuitry described below are optional on the FT-902DjSDjDE models.

RECEIVER

The RF input signal from the antenna is fed to pin 3 of the RF UNIT (PB-2154)1 via antenna relay RL2, line fuse FH1, attenuator switch S2103, input transformer T 1 , and 9 MHz trap coil T 2402.

RF UNIT (PB-2154)

The incoming signal is amplified by the RF amplifier QI01 (3SK51-03), a dual gate MOSFET which has superior rejection against cross modulation. The amplified signal is then fed to the first mixer Q102 (ND487C2-3R), a Schottky-barrier doublebalanced mixer, for excellent intercept characteristics. The RF signal is mixed with a local signal delivered from the LOCAL UNIT, .resulting in a 8.9875 MHz first IF. The IF sigmy{is then amplified by QI03 (1310) and delivered to the FILTER UNIT.

The input and output of the RF amplifier are permeability tuned circuits, resulting in high sensitivity with excellent rejection of unwanted ou t-of-band signals.

FILTER UNIT (PB-199S)

The IF signal received at pin 2 of the FILTER UNIT (PB-199S) is amplified by parallel-connected Q301 and Q30S (both 2SK19GR), and fed through a monolithic filter XF301 (8.9M-20A), which has a ±IO kHz bandwidth, providing additionalselectivity and enough delay time to match the noise blanker gating pulses. The signalis then fed to the second IF amplifier, Q302 (2SK19GR).

The noise blanker diode D301 (1S1007) is placed between T 302 and T 303, and it functions as an ON/OFF switch which is controlled by the noise blanker driver Q303 (2SC181 SGR). The ou tpu t from the source of Q302 is passed through the SSB filter XF 304 (or the optional AM or CW filters). Selection of the filter to be used is performed by one of the diode switches D303 - D308 (lSl007), depending on the mode of operation. The IF signal is then transferred to the IF UNIT. In the FM mode, the IF signal is coupled directly through D310 (1 Sl 555) to pin 5 of the IF UNIT.

IF UNIT (PB-1704C)

The IF signal from pin 14 is fed to the gate of the IF first mixer, Q401(3SKSI-03).where the IF signal is heterodyned with a 19.7475 MHz ± t, f local signal delivered from crystal oscillator Q40S (2SCS3SA) and buffer amplifier Q406 (2SC181SY), resulting in a signal of 10.76 MHz ±6f.

The new 10.76 MHz ± t, f signal is fed through filter XF401 to the IF first mixer Q401 (3SKSI-03), where the filtered signal is heterodyned with a 19.7475 MHz±6fsignal, producing an 8.9875 MHz signal, the same as the original IF. This process moves the IF signal across the passband of XF 401. The combination of filters XF 304 and XF401 provides continuously variable width of the IF passband.

The frequency of crystal oscillator Q40S is varied by varactor diode D410 (lS2209).

On the AM and FM modes, the IF signal is passed through diode switches D402 and D403 (lSl007), and does not pass through filter XF401.

The output from the IF second mixer is fed through a monolithic filter XF 402 to the two-stage IF amplifier consisting of Q403 and Q404 (both 3SK51-03}.The output from Q403 is coupled to the rejection tuning circuit which eliminates in terference within the IF passband. This rejection function is accomplished by varying the resonant frequency of a crystal with varactor diode 0406 (lS2209) on the SSB, CW, and FSK modes.

The amplified IF signal is fed to the CARRIER UNIT. In the AM mode, the signal is fed through a buffer amplifier Q410 (2SC1815Y) to the AM detector D407 (1 N60). The signal is then fed to the AF UNIT.

A portion of the output from Q410 is rectified byD411 and D412 (lN270) toproduceAGCvoltage. The AGC voltage is amplified by DC amplifier Q409 (2SC1815GR) and fed to the gate of RF amplfier QIOI and to IF amplifiers Q403 and Q404 to control the gain of these stages for AGC purposes. The time constant of the AGC voltage decay is selectable (FAST /SLOW) by swi tch S2003. The AGC voltage is further amplified by Q408 (2SK19GR) and Q407 (2SA564A) for signal strength indication on the front panel S-meter.

The RF GAIN control on the front panel vanes the AGC voltage level, providing manual control of the gain of the RF and IF stages.

Q411(2SC1815GR) works as a relay driver for the IF rejection tuning circuit. Delay transistor Q412 (2SC735Y) supplies the voltage to the drain of Q401 and Q402 when the transceiver returns to the receive mode after transmission.

FM UNIT (PB-1707B)

In the FM mode, the IF signal from the IF UNIT is fed to the gate of Q901 (3SK51), where it is heterodyned with the 9442.5 kHz signal delivered from the FM oscillator Q902 (2SC1815Y), thus producing a 455 kHz IF signal. The 455 kHz IF signal passes through a two-stage ceramic filter consisting of CF 901 and CF 902 (LFB-15), and is amplified by an amplifier limiter consisting ofQ903 (2SC1815Y) and Q904 (TA7061AP).

A ceramic discriminator consisting of CD901 (CFD455S4) and D902and D903 (both lS188FM) produces an audio output in response to a corresponding frequency shift in the 455kHz IF signal. The discriminator output is amplified by Q908 (2SC1815Y) and fed to the AF UNIT at pin 6.

When no carrier is present in the 455 kHz IF, the noise at the discriminator output is amplified by Q90S and Q906 (both 2SC1815Y) and detected by D90S and D906 (both lS188FM) to produce a DC voltage. This voltage is applied to turn "on" Q907 (2SC1815Y). With Q907 "on," the base of Q908 is grounded to quiet the audio amplifier. When a carrier is present, the quieting action of the receiver removes noise from the discrimina tor output and Q907 is turned "off," permitting normal action of Q908. The squelch control VR901 sets the squelch threshold level.

CARRIER UNIT (PB-1706A)

The carrier oscillator Q702 (2SK19GR) is followed by a buffer amplifier Q703 (2SC1815Y). It oscillates at one of the following frequencies, depending on the mode of operation: 8989 kHz with X702; 8986 kHz with X701 ; or 8988.295 kHz with X703. The crystal selection is made by diode switches D701 - D703 (lS1555).

Diode D701 conducts to activate X703, which is used for the CW, FSK, AM, and TUNE transmit signal. Diode D702 conducts to activate X701 for LSB and FSK reception. Diode D703 conducts to activate X702 for USB and CW reception.

The carrier signal is fed to the ring demodulator consisting of D70S - D708 (all lSl007), which demodulates the IF signal into audio using the carrier signal applied from Q703. The audio is then fed through relay contacts to the AF UNIT.

AF UNIT (PB-1705A)

The audio signal from the AM detector is amplified by QS07 (2SC73'2TM) and fed to the first audio amplifier QSOI (2SC732TIM). On SSB, CW, FM, and FSK, the audio signal is directly fed to QSOI from pin 15. The audio signal is amplified through QSOI and QS02 (both 2SC732TM) and is then fed through the APF switch and audio volume control VRs a to the audio output amplifier QS03 (TA7205AP), which delivers 3 watts of audio output to the speaker.

The audio spectrum is shaped by an active lowpass filter of (c = 2.7 kHz, -12 dB loctave.

Operational amplifier Q, 04 (MC3403) and AF amplifier Qsos (2SC732TM) are placed into the audio circuit by the APF switch on the front panel. The frequency of this selective amplifier is varied with the fron t panel APF control VR4 alb between 400 Hz and 900 Hz, providing singlesignal, noise-free CW reception. VRso 1 provides adjustment ofthe selectivity of the APF circuit.

NB UNIT (PB-1994)

A portion of the 8987.5 kHz IF signal is fed to pin 4 of the noise blanker unit and appears at noise blanker mixer Q209 (3SK40M), where the 8532.5 kHz signal generated by Q211 (2SC1815Y) is mixed with the incoming signal to produce a 455kHz signal. The 455kHz signal is then amplified by Q210 (3SK40M).

When a carrier or a noise-free modulated signal is received, the 455 kHz signal (with its corresponding strength) is rectified by 0202 and 0203 (both IN270) to charge C235. There is no discharge loop for C2 35; therefore, signals which exceed the charged voltage established by the reference voltage on C235 will not pass through 0202 and 0203. Accordingly, there will be no voltage drop across R247, and Q212 (3SK51-03) will conduct as the gate voltage approaches zero potential. When Q212 conducts, the drain voltage at pin 2 of the prin ted board will drop.

N8 IN

N8 ON

The drain of Q2 1 2 is directly connected to the base of Q303 (2SCI815Y) in the FILTER UNIT. As the drain voltage of Q212 drops, the base voltage of Q303 drops, turning off Q303. The collector voltage will then increase, producing a forward bias to 0301 (1S1007). As 0301 conducts, the signals will pass normally through the circuit.

When pulse-type noise is received which exceeds the charged reference voltage established by C2 35, 0202 and 0203 will permit negative-going pulses to turn Q212 off. The drain voltage will rapidly increase as it turns off.

As the drain voltage increases, Q303 will turn on and the collector voltage will decrease. Accordingly, 030 I will be biased to block the signal. Thus, when pulse-type noise is received, the signal passage will be blanked off momentarily.

TRANSMIT CIRCUIT

SSB

The output from the MIC jack J2 is fed through the MIC GAIN control VR3 a to pin 13 of the CARRIER UNIT.

CARRIER UNIT (PB-1706A)

The microphone signal is amplified by microphone amplifier Q705 (TA-7063P) and fed through relay RL701 to the ring modulator consisting of D705 - 0708 (all 1 SI 007), where the signal modulates carrier signal delivered from Q703 (2SCI81SY). The double sideband signal is fed through T 701 to the FILTER UNIT.

FILTER UNIT (PB-199S)

The 8987.5 kHz signal fed to pin 8 of the FILTER UNIT is amplified by buffer amplifier Q304 (2SK 19GR) and is passed through sideband filter XF 304 by diode switches 0309 (lSISSS) and 0307 - 0308 (both 1 S 1007) where the DSB signal is converted to an SSB signal by removing the unwanted sideband.

NB UNIT (PB-1994)

The SSB signal is fed through a buffer amplifier Q204 (2SC181SY) to the bases of Q202 and Q205 (both 2SCI815Y). When the RF processor switch is "OFF," the SSB signal is amplified by Q202 and fed to Q203 (3SKS9GR). When the processor switch is "ON," the SSB signal is amplified by Q20S (2SC181SY) and is further amplified by the limiter Q206 (TA 7060P), where the signals that exceed the preset clipping. level are sliced out. VR203 is used to equalize the level of the clipped and un clipped signals.

This highly clipped SSB signal is passed through a selective filter XF 201 to remove RF harmonics that result from signal clipping. The filtered output signal is amplified by Q203 and fed to the RF UNIT. The PROC LEVEL control VRs b, located on the front panel, varies the resistance

between the collector and emitter of Q207 (2SC 181SY), thus changing the input signal level to the filter.

The CW, FSK, AM, and FM signals pass through Q201 (2SKI9GR) and are fed to Q203'

The ALC (Automatic Level Control) voltage detected at the grid circuit of the PA tube is fed to the first gate of Q203 to reduce the gain of the amplifier, thus preventing overloading and distortion.

RF UNIT (PB-21S4)

The SSB signal from J 1 02 of the printed board is fed to the diode ring mixer QI02 (ND487C2-3R), where the SSB signal is heterodyned to the desired RF frequency by mixing with the local signal which is supplied from the VCO UNIT. The mixer output is amplified by QI05 (2SC240S) and QI06 (3SK40M), and applied through diode switch 0110 (lSI007) to the DRIVE UNIT.

DRIVE UNIT (PB-1714) PA UNIT (PB-171 5)

The output from the RF UNIT is fed to the grid of the transmitter driver V 1601 (l2BY7 A) where it is amplified to a level sufficient to drive the final amplifier tubes VI701 and VI702 (6146B). A portion of the RF signal is coupled through Cl6 to the cathode of the 12BY7 A driver tube so as to improve the linearity of the final amplifier stage (RF negative feedback).

Neu tralization of the power amplifier is accomplished by feeding back a small amoun t of the ou tpu t through TC 1 to the cold end of the T 3 /L9 combination. The return of the grid circuit is connected to the REC A UNIT (PB 1708) to produce ALC voltage to control the gain .of the TX IF amplifier, thus preventing distortion caused by overdrive.

-27-

CW

In the CW, AM, and FSK modes, carrier oscillator Q702 (2SK19GR) on the CARR UNIT generates a crystal controlled carrier signal of 8988.2 kHz. The carrier is fed through buffer amplifier Q703 (2SC1815Y) to the ring modulator. Q702 also oscillates for TUNE operation.

DC voltage is applied through diode switch D912 (lS1555) and RL701, to unbalance the ring modulator for CW, AM, and FSK operation; the resulting carrier signal is fed to T701•

The output from T 701 is amplified by Q704 (3SK59Y) and fed to Q201 (2SC1815Y) on the NB UNIT. The signal is then further amplified by Q203 (3SK59GR), and is fed to the transmitter mixer.

Keying of the transmitter is accomplished by changing the bias voltage to V 1601, V 1701, and V1702. The tubes are cut off on "key up" by application of -35V for V1601 and -llOV for V1701 and V1702• These cutoff voltage are reduced to --0.1 V and -60V, respectively, during "key down" conditions.

The key is connected to pin.l S of the REC C UNIT (PB1717A). Under "key down" conditions, the base of Q1803 (2SA733) is grounded, causing Q180S (2SC1815GR) and Q1804 (2SA639) to conduct. The voltage at pin 16 of PB-1717 A reaches zero when Q1804 conducts. Since pin 16 of PB- 1717 A is connected to pin 2 of the RECT A UNIT (PB-1708), the bias voltage OfV1601, V1701, and V 1702 places these tubes in the normal operating condition.

On other modes, 12 volts is applied to pin 15, causing Q1804 to conduct, thus placing the operating bias on the tubes.

KEYER UNIT (PB-1728A)

The built-in electronic keyer utilizes Q2 70 1 (Curtis 8044 IC). The output of Q2701 is high during "key down" conditions; this output is connected to the base of Q2702 (2SC1815Y), the collector current of which is connected to the base of Q1803, causing Q1803 to conduct during "key down" conditions.

Keyer speed is controlled by VR2 b on the front panel. VR2701 provides adjustment of the dotspace symmetry, while VR2702 adjusts the keying weight. VR2702 normally is set to minimum, providing a 1: 1 dot: space weight.

AM

The microphone signal is amplified by Q70S (TA7063P) and Q710 (2SC7B2TM) and fed to Q704 (3SK59Y), where it modulates the 8988.2 kHz carrier signal. The output from T 702 is fed to the NB UNIT in the same manner as described in the CW section previously.

FSK

The carrier oscillator Q702 (2SK19GR) generates a crystal controlled carrier frequency of 8988.2 kHz. When keying is applied to the FSK jack J I 5 , the base voltage of Q701 (2SC1815Y) becomes zero, causing Q701 to cut off. In the "space" condition, Q701 conducts, placing TC704 in the circuit and lowering the carrier frequency to 8988.03 kHz.

AMGC circuit

The AMGC circuit is located in the CARRIER UNIT and is used to reduce, the gain of the microphone amplifier when only low-level background noise is present (no speech input from the opera-

tor). The microphone signal is fed to pin 17 of the CARRIER UNIT, amplified by 0706 (TA 7063P), and fed to 0707(2SC1815 GR). When a sufficient level of speech input is applied to the microphone, 0707 conducts, causing the output of NAND gate 0708 (MC14011B) to be "low." This condition cuts off AMGC controller 0709 (2SC181SY). The collector circuit of 0709 is connected with the output circuit of the microphone amplifier Q70S.

When the microphone input signal becomes sign ifican tty lower than the normal speech level (background noise only), 0707 turns OFF, causing the output of Q708 to be "high." This condition causes Q709 to conduct,grounding the output circuit of Q70S .

The gate holding time can be adjusted by means of VR702, to allow for differences in operator preferences.

VOX UNIT PB-1846

A portion of the microphone input is delivered to pin 10 of the VOX UNIT. The signal is amplified byQ608 andQ609(2SC1815GR)and fed to the base ofQ61 0(2SC181 SGR).when the signal is applied, 0610 conducts, causing C621 to discharge. The DC voltage of C62 1 is then fed to the gate circuit of Q604 (MC14011 B). When pins I and 2 of Q604 are high, the output of the VOX gate of Q604 becomes low, causing Q606 (2SC1815Y) to cut off, thus turning relay driver Q607 (2SC735) ON to actuate the VOX relay RLI .

The anti trip circuit provides a bucking voltage to prevent the speaker output from tripping the transceiver into the transmit condition. The receiver audio output is fed through ANTITRIP control VR601 to amplifier Q601 (2SC1815Y) and is then rectified by D601 (lN60). The rectified DC voltage turns Q602(2SC1815GR) ON, placing its collector at a low level, thus preventing the gate circuit from activating the relay driver Q607. The collector of Q602 is connected through R608 to the base of Q603 (2SA564A) which shorts the supply voltage for C621 ; thus, C621 is fully charged when the speaker output disappears, turning the gate into the transmit mode immediately with the appearance of microphone input.

~29~

The VOX GAIN control VRI on the front panel provides adjustment for relay sensitivity, and VR601 controls anti trip sensitivity. Relay hold time is determined by delay control VR602.

The tone oscillator Q61 s(2SC1815GR)operates when the MODE switch is in the CW position. It is a phase shift oscillator operating at approximately 800 Hz. The sidetone level is adjusted by VR603. The sidetone output is also coupled to the VOX circuit for semi-break-in operation.

Located on the VOX UNIT, the crystal marker genera tor Q6 I I (2SC 1815Y) generates a basic 3200 kHz crystal controlled signal which is divided into 100 kHz multiples by frequency divider Q612 (4024PC). The voltage regulator Q60s (2SC 1815Y) regulates the supply voltage to the VOX circuit.

FM UNIT (PB-1707B)

The speech signal from pin 20 of PB-1707B is fed to amplifier limiter Q909 (TA 7061 AP), which clips both positive and negative peaks when they exceed the level set for maximum deviation of the transmitter frequency. Q910 (2SC1815Y) acts as

an active low pass filter to eliminate harmonics caused by the clipping. VR902 determines the maximum deviation.

The output from Q901 IS amplified by Q911 (2SK34E) and then fed to the modulator D909 (FC63). Q912 (2SCI815Y) oscillates at a crystal frequency of 8987.5 kHz and is frequency modulated by varactor diode D909. The output from Q912 is amplified by Q913 (2SCI815Y) and then fed to the NB UNIT.

TUNE UNIT (PB-1720B)

When TUNE switch S21 0 I is pushed, the voltage across C21 0 I is applied to the base of Q21 0 1 (2SCI815Y), causing Q2101 to tum ON; this activates RL2102 which grounds the cathodes of D210s and D2106 (both ISI555). As D210s is connected in parallel with the PTT swi teh, the transceiver is placed in the transmit mode.

Diode D2106 grounds the common terminal of the MODE switch S2g and S2h, and the bias voltage of the PA stage is lowered from the cutoff condition to the normal operating level.

When 02107 is grounded, 02102 (2SA 7 33) turns ON, and the vol tage appearing at the collector of Q2102 is fed through D2109 (lS1555) to D701 on PB-1706A to activate the CW carrier oscillator. In the SSB mode, the SSB carrier oscillator is disabled by reverse voltage.

COMMON CIRCUITS

VFO UNIT (PB-1440B-3330)

A modified Colpitts-type oscillator is used to generate a 5.0 - 5.5 MHz signal, producing a 500 kHz tuning range. The frequency is varied by VCS01, which is geared to a precision-huilt dial tuning mechanism. VCS01 consists of two sections. The sub-blades compensate for the capacitance variation of the main blades which may result from extreme temperature change.

Varactor diode OSOI (lS2236) is in series with CS07, and the combination of the two is in parallel with TCs01. By closing the CLARIFIER switch, the VFO frequency may be varied ±2.5 kHz with the CLARIFIER control on the front panel.

The oscillator output signal is fed through the amplifier/buffer stage QS02 (2SK19GR) and QS03 (2SC372Y), and then passes through the low-pass filter to the output terminal.

XTAL UNIT (PB-2165)

Crystal oscillator QI301 - QI312 (all 2SC1815Y) produces a heterodyne signal for the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) mixer. The oscillator frequency is selected by the BAND switch, and the output signal is fed through diode switch DI301 - DI312 (all lS1555) to the PLL UNIT. The frequency of each crystal is shown in Table I.

VCO UNIT (PB-2166)

The VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) generates a heterodyne signal which is 8.9875 kHz higher than the operating frequency. The frequency is locked by the voltage detected by the PLL UNIT.

QI201 - Q1210 (ail 2SK19BL) oscillate at the frequency given in Table 1. The frequency is locked by varactor diodes 01201 - 01210 (all MV 104), which are con trolled by the VCV voltage supplied from the PLL UNIT. The oscillator output signal is amplified by QI209 (3SK40M) and fed to the buffer/amplifier consisting of QI 21 0 and QI211 (both 2SC1815Y). The output from Q 1210 is fed to the transceiver mixer in the R F UNIT; the output from QI211 is fed to the PLL UNIT as a sample signal.

A portion of the Q1209 output is rectified by D1219 and D1220 (both IN60); this rectified DC voltage is amplified by DC amplifier Q1212 (2SC 1815Y) to generate AGC voltage which controls the gain of Q1209, thus obtaining unity signal ou tpu t when the band is changed.

PLL UNIT (PB-1709A)

The sample signal from the VCO UNIT is fed to the PLL mixer QII02 (TA7310P), where the sample signal is mixed with the heterodyne signal (at 5.0 - 5.5 MHz) delivered from the XT AL UNIT through buffer amplifier Q 1101 (2SC 1815Y). The 5.0 - 5.5 MHz signal is fed through amplifier QII03 (2SC1815Y) to QII06 (SN 75450B), where the signal waveform is shaped

prior to being supplied to a phase detector Ql1 07 (MC4044P); here the phase of the signal is compared with the phase of the signal delivered through wave shaper QII06, buffer Q110S (2SC 1815Y), and amplifier Qll 04 (2SK19GR) from the VFO UNIT.

QII07 compares the phase of the two signals and converts the phase difference into the VCV voltage which controls the VCO frequency. Q 11 08 (2SC 1815GR)acts as an active low pass filter to remove ripples from the VCV voltage.

When the VCO is unlocked, QII09 (2SC1815Y) delivers the signal to prevent receive or transmit action of the transceiver.

QIII0 (78L08) and Qllll (78L05) are voltage regulators.

MEMORY UNIT (PB-1787D)

The VFO signal delivered to pin 4 of PB-1787D is amplified by 02809 (3SK40M) and 02810 (2SC 785), and fed to counter gate 02813 (SN74 LSOON). A clock signal generator 02811 (MSM 5562) produces 50 Hz clock pulses from a crystal frequency of 3276.8 kHz. The pulses which passed through the gate are fed to a six digit decade counter Q2815 (TC5032P), which counts the VFO frequency. The BCD output from 0281 s is fed through 02822 - 02826 (all MC14042B) to up/down counter 02827 - 02831 (SN74LSI92N), which presets the VFO frequency.

The 5.0 - 5.5 MHz signal generated by 02801 UFI033B) is fed through buffer/amplifier 02802 UFI033) and 02803 (2SC785) to pulse shaper 02804 (2SC785).

L __ ~ ~ _

The switching pulse generated by 02804 is also fed to 02827• where the signal is divided to 1/5000 to 1/55000 in accordance with the program preset by Q2827 - 02831' The output from 02831 (approximately 100 Hz) is fed through a one-shot multivibrator 02832 (SN74LS123N) to the phase comparator 02821 (MC4044P) where the phase of the 100 Hz signal is compared with the phase of the 100 Hz signal which is delivered from Onl!'

The DC output from 02821 passes through a low pass filter, operational amplifier 02820 (LM308), to remove the 100 Hz ripple. This DC voltage is applied to varactor diodes 1)2806 - 1)2807 (MV- 104), thus locking the YCO frequency.

When the M (memory) switch is pushed, the counter output from 02815 is latched and the VtO frequency is locked.

-35-

When the MR (memory recall) switch is pushed, the output from vco buffer Q2802 (JF-I033B) is amplified by Q2805 and Q2806 (both JF-I033B) and Q2807 (2SC372Y), and fed through a diode switch to the PLL UNIT (replacing the VFO signal).

Q2813 (SN74LSOON) and Q2814 (SN74LS04N) generate timing pulses to set or reset the counter.

The 200 Hz signal delivered from Q2811 is amplified by Q2808 (MPSA13) and rectified by D2804 and D2805 (both lS188FM) to produce a minus voltage to be used for operational amplifier Q2820.

POWER SUPPLY

The power supply is designed to operate from either 100/110/117/200/220/234 Volts AC 50/ 60 Hz (all models) or 13.5 Volts DC with the DC-DC converter unit (built-in on the FT-902DM, optional on other models). Insertion of the appropriate power plug into the rear panel receptacle makes the necessary connections for operation from either AC or DC power sources.

MEMORY UNIT

When the transceiver is operated from a 13.5 Volt DC power source, transistors Q3201 and Q3202 (both T20A6) function as a low frequency oscillator to provide AC voltage at approximately 80 Hz to the power transformer. All of the tube heaters receive their power through the HEATER switch on the front panel. With the HEATER switch in the OFF position, voltage is still supplied to the receiver section, thus allowing continuous reception with reduced power consumption. The heaters of the two 6l46B are connected in series to operate at 12 Volts DC.

(1) Low voltage supply

AC 11.5 Volt power delivered from the secondary winding of the transformer is rectified by D1 001 and D1002 (V06B) in the RECTIFIER A UNIT (PB-1708) to provide the transistor supply voltage. The rectified DC voltage is supplied through pin 8 and pin 1 of the AC plug to pin 1 of the power receptacle which is connected to the DC power supply line. In the DC mode, the DC voltage from the power cord is directly supplied to pin I of the power receptacle. The DC voltage is filtered through CH1001, C1001, and C1002, and fed to the voltage stabilizer Q2 (uPC14308) (8V) and Q3 (J.LPC14312) (+12V); 13.5 Volt power is also

The stabilized 8 Volt supply from Q2 is used for the VCO, XT AL and IF UNITS, and the stabilized 12 Volt supply is used for the FM, VOX, and AF UNITS and other circuits as well. The 12 Volt

,

supply is further stabilized by Ql (uPC14308) to be supplied to the AF and IF UNITS. A further portion of the 8 Volt supply from Q2 is stabilized at 6 Volts by Q1801 (TA7089M) to be supplied to the VFO UNIT.

Independent voltage stabilizers are located in the MEMORY, COUNTER, AF, FM, and PLL UNITS.

(2) High voltage supply

The power amplifier plate voltage of +800 Volts DC is supplied from the bridge-controlled doubler RECTIFIER UNIT B consisting of 01401 - 01414 (lOOlO) and C1501 andC1502 inPB-1712A.

AC 190 Volts is rectified by 01802 (10010) m RECTIFIER UNIT C to obtain 210 Volts for the screen grid supply of the power amplifier tubes. The screen grid voltage is reduced to 180 Volts for the FM, AM, and FSK modes.

The plate supply for the driver tube is obtained by rectifying 250 Volt AC by 01801 (10010). The DC. voltage obtained from the RECTIFIER C UNIT is dropped to 160 Volts by a resistor for the driver screen grid.

120 Volt AC from the transformer secondary winding is rectified by 01004 (10010) in the RECTIFIER A UNIT (PB-1708) to obtain -140 Volts for the grid bias voltage for the driver and final amplifier tubes.

DC-DC CONVERTER INST ALLA nON

The optional DC-DC converter is easy to install in a matter of minutes. Please follow the instructions carefully, in order to make the proper connections.

(I) Install the DC-DC converter module as shown in the drawing. Use the four screws supplied with the kit. Do not force the plug into the socket, as the connection should be smooth.

(2) Check the DC cable fuse socket, located in the positive (red) lead, to be certain that a 20 amp fuse is installed.

(3) When making connections to the battery, be absolutely certain that the proper polarity is observed. The RED lead should be connected to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the BLACK lead should be connected to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. OUR WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY REVERSED POLARITY CONNECTIONS.

(4) Before connecting the DC power cable to the transceiver, check the automobile voltage regulator level with the engine running (battery charging). The maximum charging rate should be 15 volts or less. If the voltage is higher than this level, please adjust the voltage regulator for a maximum of IS volts. This precaution applies, as well, to bench power supplies, which should be adjusted in the same fashion. Also, the transceiver should not be operated from a supply voltage of less than 12 volts.

(5) Connect the DC cable to the transceiver.

Power connections are made automatically when the DC cable is connected to the POWER jack.
