OPERATION
3.1
Installation and Programming
KG506 can be installed to operate as a Transportable, Mobile or a Fixed Station in any mode of
operation.
The KG506 must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the
equipment supplier or a competent radio engineer. They will require the correct programming kit
and a computer. Complete programming instructions are provided with the kit. If a duplexer is
used, please observe the maximum frequency range permitted by the duplexer notches.
It is important that the KG506 be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended that
this be done by a competent radio engineer.
As a minimum, it is necessary to:
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent
structures. RF exposure compliance is addressed at the time of licensing, as required by
the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).

3.2
Securely attach the mounting plate to the desired location.
Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that
has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct, otherwise the fuse will
blow).
Connect the antenna feed line(s). (Check that the VSWR of the antenna is acceptable).
Connect the Control System to the 25 position sub D connector.
Basic Operation
Note that controls and functions will vary with different control systems and with programming.
3.2.1
Switch On
Switch the KG506 "ON" , the POWER indicator should illuminate.
3.2.2
Adjust the Volume Setting
Rotate the Volume Knob clockwise until the audio level from the speaker is suitable.
3.2.3
Adjust the Squelch Setting
Rotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until
the background noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further
in the clockwise direction so that variations in the background noise level do not "break"
the squelch setting and cause annoying noises to be heard from the speaker.
3.2.4
Select the Channel
Select the desired channel.
3.2.5
Receiving
You should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel. It may be
necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements.
3.2.6
Transmitting
Depending on the legal requirements in your country and the operating requirements
within your organization, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will
MODEL KG506 FULL-DUPLEX MOBILE
probably be necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start
of your transmission.
Press the PTT switch before beginning to speak. When transmitting, it is necessary to
hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth and speak clearly into the grill of
the microphone.
4. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
4.1
Receiver
1) RF section
An incoming signal is fed to pre-selector, BPF-101/103, and amplified by Q101/Q102, and then
fed to post-selector BPF-102/104. The outputs of the RF section(s) feed the balanced mixer,
st
consisting of T101, T102, D107 and D108, which produces 48.5MHz by injection from the 1
local oscillator signal provided by the RX VCO.
2) IF & Audio Sections
The output signal from the balanced mixer is fed to the crystal filters XF101, and then amplified
by Q103. This signal is fed to crystal filters XF102 A & B and amplified by Q113. The signal is
nd
nd
fed to 2 processor IC (IC106). The 2 local crystal oscillator signal is fed to IC106 to produce
nd
nd
the 2 (Low IF) signal of 455 KHz. IC106 amplifies and detects the 455 Low IF 2 local signal to
produce an audio signal. Then, the audio signal is fed to the low-pass filter inclusive in IC107,
and fed to audio processor IC (IC3) located on the Logic Unit. IC3 provides band-pass and deemphasis functions and passes the processed audio to IC16, line amplifier and IC22, Audio PA.
IC16 provides internal repeat audio and external “0 dBm” audio for interfacing external devices.
IC22 provides audio to the speaker jack.
3) RX VCO Section
st
The oscillator circuit formed by Q301 and associated components produces the 1 local signal
(Rx frequency minus 48.5MHz). The frequency of the oscillator is controlled by a signal input
st
from the PLL, (see below) which is applied to varactors D303/304. The 1 local signal is
amplified by buffer amplifier Q302, and again IC301 and Q303. The output signal is fed to the
balanced mixer in the receiver RF section. A sample of the frequency is also sent to the PLL.
4) RX PLL Section
The PLL IC101 contains a pre-scaler and frequency dividers to divide both the VCO frequency
and the local TCVXO, 12.0 MHz to a common reference frequency. These signals are compared
by a phase detector to produce a VCO control signal. This control signal is fed to the charge
pump, consisting of Q108, Q109 and Q110, and fed to the LPF IC103 and on to the VCO. The
supply voltage of the charge pump is multiplied by IC102 (approx. 15V) to achieve greater C/N
ratio. The frequency dividers are controlled by data from the Logic Unit to determine receiver
operating frequency.
4.2
Transmitter
1) TX VCO section
The oscillator circuit formed by Q301 and associated components produces the final carrier
signal. The frequency of the oscillator is controlled by a signal input from the PLL, (see below)
which is applied to varactors D303/304. The oscillator signal is amplified by buffer amplifier
Q302, and again IC301 and Q303. The output signal is fed to the TX (driver) Unit for further
amplification. A sample of the frequency is also sent to the PLL. The modulation is applied to
varactors D301 and D302.
2) TX PLL section
The PLL IC101 contains a pre-scaler and frequency dividers to divide both the VCO frequency
and the local TCVXO, 12.0 MHz to a common reference frequency (5 to 15 KHz.). These signals
MODEL KG506 FULL-DUPLEX MOBILE
are compared by a phase detector to produce a VCO control signal. This control signal is fed to
the charge pump, consisting of Q206, Q207 and Q208, and fed to the LPF IC207 and on to the
VCO. The supply voltage of the charge pump is multiplied by IC208 (approx. 15V) to achieve
greater C/N ratio. The frequency dividers are controlled by data from the Logic Unit to determine
transmitter operating frequency
3) Modulator Section
The modulation signal is fed to both VCO and the reference oscillator (TCVXO). This permits a
very flat modulation characteristic against low frequency (DC). This permits operation with digital
signals such as Digital Coded Squelch and POCSAG Paging Terminals.
4) TX Unit (Driver) Section
The VCO signal is amplified by Q215 to the proper level to drive the PA Module.
5) PA Section
The signal from driver stage is fed to PM501 to achieve 30W output power. The signal is then fed
to a balanced line to detect forward and reverse power, then on to the LPF to eliminate
harmonics spurious frequencies. An APC (Automatic Power Control) circuit stabilizes the output
power at the set level. The circuit also protects the PA from excess reverse power caused by
mis-match of the antenna. An alarm circuit signals if output power drops below a preset level or
when SWR exceeds a preset level. All parameters are adjustable.
4.3
Logic Unit
1) Microcomputer (CPU)
CPU, IC1, uPD78F0058, an 8-bit processor, has 60K flash memory and 2K RAM inside. This CPU
controls all functions of KG506. A flash memory permits ON-BOARD-UP-GRADE when new
software is released.
2) EE ROM section
IC7 is the 64kbit EEROM. This IC contains all channel parameters.
3) Audio processor section
An IC2 is for TX and IC3 is for RX audio processor. These IC’s control all audio processing and
encode/decode CTCSS tones commanded by the CPU. These IC’s are also contain a 2400bps
MODEM to enable use of MPT1327 trunking protocols by using external MPT control software.
4) LED display section (front panel of radio)
The LED’s indicate each mode of operation of the KG506 as follows:
POWER, BUSY, TRANSMIT, ALARM, REPEATER.
5) Audio amplifier section
An IC22 provides 5 W audio power to drive 8 ohm external speaker.
4.4
Control Interface Connector
A 25 position D-sub connector for remote control is provided on the front panel of KG506.
The functions of each pin are as follows;

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Receiver Unit
1) BPF-101 and BPF-102, RF Alignment
Connect the signal generator to the Rx antenna connector of KG506. Align the BPF-101 and
BPF-102 to obtain the maximum sensitivity. For better alignment, if you have spectrum analyzer
and tracking generator, connect the tracking generator to the Rx antenna connector and pick up
the output signal from J101 to connect spectrum analyser. Align the BPF-101 and BPF-102 to
cover the desired bandwidth of receive frequencies. If receiver is equipped with the optional dual
RF sections, adjust BPF-103 and BPF-104 as above.
2) FVR101 alignment
This is to adjust the tight squelch level. Set to threshold with external squelch control set to 1/2
rotation.
3) VCO alignment
The VCO has been aligned at the factory to cover full bandwidth. However, if you must re-adjust
the VCO due to repair, set the VCO voltage at 10.5V by L303 at the highest sub-band frequency.
5.2
Transmitter Unit
Note: there are no tuning adjustments for the transmitter. It is a broadband circuit.
1) FVR201 alignment
This potentiometer determines the modulation balance. Carefully align this potentiometer to
obtain equal deviation on the lowest and the highest RF frequency programmed into the
transmitter (not required for normal frequency spreads).
2) FVR202 alignment
This potentiometer determines the low frequency (below 300Hz) deviation. When POCSAG,
CTCSS or DCS are used, it is necessary to adjust to have enough deviation at low frequency.
Adjusts for flat slope on low frequency square wave tests.
3) FVR203 alignment
MODEL KG506 FULL-DUPLEX MOBILE
This potentiometer sets the maximum deviation, normally set below 5KHz. Programming
automatically sets to below 2.5KHz deviation for narrow spacing.
4) FVR204 alignment
Adjust the transmitter output power to 30 W or less.
5) VCO alignment
The VCO has already been aligned at the factory; however if you need to re-adjust, set the VCO
voltage at 10.5V at the highest sub band frequency.
5.3
Power Amplifier (PA Unit)
1) FVR501
Terminate KG506 with 50 ohm load, and adjust this potentiometer for the minimum level of
reverse power.
2) FVR502
This potentiometer sets the SWR alarm threshold when the transmitter is terminated with 50
ohms load. Set just slightly past the alarm point.
3) FVR503
Adjust this potentiometer for the low power alarm threshold, usually –3dB. Turn power down to
12.5 watts (using FVR504) and adjust FVR503 for alarm to trigger.
4) FVR504
Adjust for maximum power output, but do not exceed 35W.
5.4
Logic Unit
Note: some adjustments are repeated here for clarity.
1) FVR1 adjustment
Not used.
2) FVR2 adjustment
Adjusts the deviation level when the KG506 used as a repeater. Set to 3.5 kHz modulation with
receiver modulated at 3.5 KHz.
3) FVR3 adjustment
Adjusts the TX output power (hi power level), usually set to 25 W. Will not exceed level set in
Step 5.3.4.
4) FVR4 adjustment
