3—4. SE'ITHNG AND OPERATION
1) Basic Channel Selection
In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both you and the
receiving party must be on the same channel
GMRSISZS has ISchannels indicated by the large digits on the
LCD display panel. Before trying to transmit on the selected channel,
you should press the Monitor Button to elwck the activity on that channel
Ifsomeone is already on the selected channel, you should try another
channel that is clear
To change the basic channel,
-. In the standby mode, press the Up Button briefly to move to the next
higher main channel number.
-. Press the Down Button briefly to move to the next lower main
channel number
2) Sub Channel Selection
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) with 38 Sub-Frequency.
This feature allows you to utilize a less used channel range (00~ 38) within
a main channel.
This enables you to connnunicate with another party on the same main
Channel using the same sub-code.

5. DESCRIPTION OF RADIO CIRCUIT
5-1. Frequency synthesizer
Frequency synthesizer consists of VCO,PLL IC(built in PRESCALER) and
loop filter.
:) VCO
VCO is composed of One VCO. Oscillation circuit takes eolpitts circuit using
variable Diode. And VCO is composed of D401, L402, C401, 0102, C403
b) I’LL 1C
PH, 10 is adjustable IC to produce the wished frequency which VCO
provides through loop filter. It in internal counter using 21.25Mhz

localoseillatorfi-equencyislowerin l’stlFthmefiequency.
It is called low side injection Second IF is450kl-lz‘ Z’nd local oscillator
Frequency comes to 21.25Ml-Iz.
a) Rx I T: Conversion Circuit
Rx signal goes to Rx / Tx conversion circuit through FIXED antenna
connector, low pass filter (L201,L202,L203,C210,C202,C203,C204) and
receiver resonance circuit composed ofL204,C2064 When transmitting,
Voltage through R209,L211,D201 supplies,D202 of receive input is short and
Tx is on condition, When PIN diode is 05 in condition of Rx, C301,C302
L301 resonate serially and make impedance matehing at receiver bandpass
filter.(FL301,FL302)
b) Front End
Front—end has QZOI to provide a high sensitivity and low noise feature.
It employs SAW filter as band pass filter to eliminate image frequency
and to produce enough pass band by Q30| input and outputs
c) Mixer
Mixer has mo gate 3SK228(Q302) to feature high ,low noise quality.
It has RF signal through Q301 and FL302,C306 and RF signal from Local
Oscillator mixed .
It develops I’st IF 2L7MHz. I’st IF goes to 1’st IF amplifier Q303 base
through X-tal filter FL303.
If of mixing signals is selected and taken into X-tal filter.
Output impedance of mixer is direct matclwd with input impedance
of X-tal filter.
Matching of filter satisfies pass bandwidth of filter, ripple
elimination with in pass band, and attenuation characteristic of stop band.
X—tal filter is composed of two pole monolithic X-tal filter, 8kI-Iz of IF
Bandwidth. R307 isused as impedance matching with l’st IF Amp 0303.
d) [F AMP and Detection
1’st IF AMP Q303 supplies IF IC (IJ301) mixer input pinl6 through output
resistor R308 and C311 to nwd gain in insertion loss ofX-tal filter and last
stage circuit. Multi-use IF IC makes up ofmixer IF AMP.
2’nd local frequency enter to IF IC pinl.
It suppliesmixerofinternnlIFIC. Mixeroutputole ICthroughpinS passes
450kHz ceramic filter, supplies 2’nd IF amplifier and limits.
Alter 2’nd IF AMP has a process of enough gain and AM rejection, it comes
to quadrature detection. Demodulated audio signal by X30] is amplified and
comes out to pin9. Detected audio signal through R313, VRl and input in
audio amp. Audio 1C UlOS through R149.
e) Squelcb Circuit
Noise component of detected outputs has amplification squelch threshold
ls controlled by Resistor R310,R312,VR301.
t) Audio Amplifier
Demodulated audio signal enters to pin3 of AF IC (0105)
Alter above signal amplifies in 0105 pin1 and pins through 01403150.
It comes out to pin5 then, it reaches at speaker.
54. mnsmitt
When Tx develops with pressing PTT switch, VCO output amplifies through
Q204,Q203,Q202,Q201 transmits by antenna through low pass filter.
Tx RF signal produced fi'om Tx VCO is amplified by Bufi’er Q204, Prodriver
Q203, Driver Q202 through C212 and entered Q201 Power Transistor input
terminal with final amplification. Alter this stage, the signal is emitted at
antenna though 509 matching circuit to low pass filter (maximums
0201,C202,C203,C204) to eliminate harmonic.
a) Audio Modulation and Audio Amplification
Audio signal prodmed by external or internal microphone, limits
amplifieetion, low pass filter by IC mm.
Max. Frequency modulation deviation is adjusted by 1027,sz keeps noise
‘ and audio fi'om entering to VCO n time of Tm Audio modulation and Audio
Amplification has diameteristic of 6 dB/OCT pro—emphas's by U102.
