TK-880
Frequency Configuration
The TX-RX unit incorporates a VCO, based on a fractional
N type PLL synthesizer system, that allows a channel step
of 5, 6.25, and 25kHz to be selected. The incoming signal
from the antenna is mixed with a first local oscillation fre-
quency to produce a first intermediate frequency of
44.85MHz.
The signal is then mixed with a second local oscillation
frequency of 44.395MHz to produce a second intermediate
frequency of 455kHz. This is called a double-conversion
system. The TX-RX unit contains a wide/narrow MCF and
CFs. The transmit signal is produced by the PLL circuit for
direction oscillation and division. The signal output from the
VCO is amplified by a straight amplifier and transmitted.

Receiver System
Outline
The incoming signal from the antenna passes through a
low-pass filter and a transmission/reception selection diode
switch (D209) and goes to the front end of the receiver.
As for E type, the front-end filter is a variable BPF consist-
ing of two two-pole helical resonators and eight varicap di-
odes (D203, D204, D205, D206, D212, D213, D214, D215)
to eliminate unwanted out-of-band signal components.
While the E3 type, the front-end filter is a variable BPF,
consisting of six coils (L901, L903, L904, L906, L908, L909)
and two varicap diodes (D902, D903) to eliminate the un-
wanted out-of-band signals.

Fig. 2 Receiver system
The low-noise amplifier (LNA) (Q201) uses a bipolar tran-
sistor to achieve wide-band and low-distortion amplification.
The signal passes through a BPF and is down-converted
with the first local signal by IC200, then converted to the
first IF signal of 44.85MHz. The first local signal passes
through an LPF and an attenuator to eliminate unwanted
harmonics components and implement the optimum input
level to the mixer, then enters IC200. A DBM is used as a
mixer to achieve a high potential.
The signal output from the mixer is amplified by an inter-
mediate frequency amplifier and input to two MCFs (XF1).
The signal is amplified by another intermediate amplifier and
goes to the FM IF IC (IC11). The first intermediate fre-
quency signal is mixed with the second local signal of
44.395MHz to produce the second IF signal of 455kHz.
The unwanted near-by signal components are then elimi-
nated by a wide ceramic filter (CF1) or a narrow ceramic fil-
ter (CF2) and the resulting signal goes back to the FM IF IC.
The signal is quadrature-detected in the IC to produce an
audio signal, which is amplified by a DET amplifier (IC2) and
output to the control unit.

Wide/Narrow Changeover Circuit
The W/N port (pin 11) of the shift register (IC7) is used to
switch between ceramic filters. When the W/N port is high,
Q24 turns on and the ceramic filter SW diode (D22, D23)
CF1 turns on to receive a Wide signal. At the same time,
MD
Q16 turns on and one of the filters is selected so that the
wide and narrow audio output levels are equal.
When the W/N port is low, Q23 turns on and the ceramic
MB
filter SW diode (D22, D23) CF2 turns on to receive a Narrow
signal.
