SECTION CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION 1ST RX IF CIRCUIT (MAIN-A UNIT) 4-1 RECEIVER CIRCUITS The RX signal from the preamplifier circuit is applied to the RF CIRCUIT (PA-A AND MAIN-A UNITS) 1st RX IF mixer (Q1404–Q1407) to be mixed with the 1st The RX signal from the antenna is passed through the SWR RX LO signal, resulting in the 64.455 MHz 1st RX IF signal.
DEMODULATOR CIRCUIT (DSP1-A UNIT) The demodulated signal is applied to the CODEC (IC3611) The 3rd RX IF signal from the 3rd RX IF circuits is passed to be converted into analog AF signal. The AF signal is through the buffer (IC3602, IC3603), and then applied to the passed through the buffer (IC3615), LPF (IC3003) and AF A/D converter to be converted into digital audio signal.
