IMPORTANT REPAIR / MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
SST-144
Surface Mount Repair
PC Board Removal - Special Tool
RITRON surface mount products require special
equipment and servicing techniques. Improper
servicing techniques can cause permanent damage
to the printed circuit boards and/or components,
which is not covered by RITRON’s warranty. If you
are not completely familiar with surface mounted
component repair techniques, RITRON recommends
that you defer maintenance to qualified service
personnel.
RITRON recommends using a knurled nut tool to
remove the slotted knurled nuts that secure the
charge and audio jacks on top of the radio. You will
need two sizes of this tool, one for each jack size.
Mouser Corporation  is one source, stock number
382-0004 (2.5mm jack) and 382-0006 (3.5mm jack).
You can reach Mouser sales and distribution center
at 1-800-346-6873.
Precautions for Handling CMOS Devices
This radio contains complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) devices, which require
special handling techniques. CMOS circuits are
susceptible to damage by electrostatic or high voltage
charges. Damage can be latent, with no failure
appearing until weeks or months later. For this
reason, take special precautions any time you
disassemble the radio. Follow the precautions below,
which are even more critical in low humidity
environments.
1)
Storage/transport - CMOS devices that will be
stored or transported must be placed in
conductive material so that all exposed leads are
shorted together. CMOS devices must not be
inserted into conventional plastic “snow” or
plastic trays of the type that are used for other
semiconductors.
2)
Grounding - All CMOS devices must be placed
on a grounded bench surface. The technician
that will work on the radio/CMOS circuit must be
grounded before handling the radio. Normally,
the technician wears a conductive wrist strap in
series with a 100K Ohm resistor to ground.
3)
Clothing - Do not wear nylon clothing while
handling CMOS circuits.
4)
Power off - Remove power before connecting,
removing or soldering a PC board that contains
CMOS devices.
5)
Power/voltage transients - Do not insert or
remove CMOS devices with power applied.
Check all power supplies to be used for testing
CMOS devices, making sure that no voltage
transients are present.
6)
Soldering - Use a grounded soldering iron for
soldering CMOS circuitry.
7)
Lead-straightening tools - When straightening
CMOS leads, provide ground straps for the tool
used.
Properly Attach the Synthesizer Shield
The synthesizer shield should not be removed, unless
a component must be replaced. This shield is
soldered to the main PC board.
Re-assembly - Speaker Magnet, Battery Voltage
on Connector Pin
The speaker magnet will pick up clipped leads and
other small metal objects from your bench top. Even
tiny objects on the diaphragm will cause the speaker
to buzz. Make sure the speaker is free of foreign
objects before reassembling the radio.
Radio Transmitter Power Measurements
The SST-144 was designed to produce 4 Watts of
Transmitter power at nominal battery voltage (+7.2
VDC), throughout the radio’s operating frequency
range. Measurements are made with the RITRON
SST-SRVBD RF service module connected to the
radio antenna terminal. The transmitter was
designed with close tolerances to prevent RF power
output from exceeding specifications and reducing
battery life.
PCB and Firmware Revisions
Changes in circuit design, component values, and
radio firmware are made occasionally to enhance the
performance of the SST-144. In general, the manual
will be periodically updated for component value
changes without a change in the manual revision
level. Always refer to the Schematic Reference Parts
List for the most recent component values. Changes
in circuit design that require printed circuit board
revision, or changes in firmware that significantly alter
the operating characteristics of the radio, will be
covered in a revised manual.
This manual is updated for the following revisions:

INTRODUCTION
SST-144
FCC REGULATIONS
GENERAL
RITRON's SST-144 handheld is a small,
programmable two-way radio, designed to operate in
the 150-162 MHz professional FM communications
band. This handheld features push-button operating
controls, with the Push-To-Talk and Channel buttons
on one side of the radio. The On / Volume Up and
Volume Down / Off, volume and monitor controls are
on top.
Each radio can be “dealer” programmed to contain a
unique set of operating frequencies and options.
Selective signaling options include Quiet Call
(CTCSS) and Digital Quiet Call (DCS). Transmitter
power, operating bandwidth and battery saver are
among the options programmable on a per channel
basis.
Model Identification
The SST-144 model, serial number and FCC
Identification are displayed on a label located on the
back of the radio beneath the belt clip.
Licensing
The FCC requires the radio owner to obtain a station
license for his radios before using them to transmit,
but does not require an operating license or permit.
The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that
transmitter power; frequency and deviation are within
the limits specified by the station license. The station
licensee is also responsible for proper operation and
maintenance of the radio equipment. This includes
checking the transmitter frequency and deviation
periodically, using appropriate methods.
Safety Standards
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI
standard for safety levels with respect to human
exposure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry, after
reviewing the available body of research, developed
this updated Standard. In March 1993 the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the
adoption of this updated Standard.
The SST-144 handheld radio is designed to comply
with this Standard. To limit your exposure to levels
at, or below, the levels in the Standard, please
observe the following:
•
Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON
for this model. DO NOT attempt to substitute any
other antenna.
•
Keep talk times as short and infrequent as
possible. DO NOT depress the PTT button when
not actually wishing to transmit. The radio is
equipped with an internal timer to limit continuous
transmit times.
•
When transmitting, hold the radio in front of the
mouth at a distance of at least 4 inches. DO NOT
hold the radio in such a manner that the antenna
is next to, or touching, exposed parts of the body,
especially the face or eyes while transmitting.
•
In belt mounted applications, when transmitting,
remove the radio from the belt and hold away from
the body at least 4 inches.
•
When using external headset accessories, hold
the unit away from the body at least 4 inches while
transmitting.
•
DO NOT allow children to operate the radio.
BATTERY CARE
SST-144
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
CHARGING
The handheld is powered by a rechargeable battery,
which fits into the radio case (see FIG-1).
The battery pack can lose its charge during storage
and shipment, and should be fully charged before the
radio is used. Thereafter, the battery should be
charged overnight after each day of use, to ensure
peak radio performance for the next day. Using the
cube charger (model BC-A), the battery should
charge completely in 12 hours.
To charge the battery using a RITRON cube charger plug the charger cord into the smaller of the two jacks
on top of the radio. Then plug the cube into a 110
VAC outlet. The green lamp lights while the battery is
charging, and should go off only when the cube is
unplugged.
Two charger contacts, visible through the bottom of
the radio case, allow the battery to be charged using
an optional RITRON drop-in charger (model BCCPS). The battery pack may be charged inside or
outside of the radio case.
To charge the battery using a drop-in charger (model
BCC-PS) - plug the drop-in charger into a 110 VAC
outlet. Set the portable or battery into the charger.
Each battery contact must rest on a charger contact
pin.
To replace the battery in the SST-144:
1.
Hold the radio as shown in FIG-1(A)
2.
Use your thumbnail to open the Door Latch, as
shown in FIG-1(A).
3.
Lift and rotate the Battery Access Door to release
it as shown in FIG-1(B).
4.
Use the Pull-tab to pull the Battery Pack out of
the case as shown in FIG-1(C).
5.
Insert the replacement Battery Pack as shown in
FIG-1(C). Push the Battery in as far as possible.
6.
Replace the Battery Access Door. Secure it by
closing the Door Latch as shown in FIG-1(A).
7.
Be certain to firmly lock the Door Latch, as
shown in FIG-1(A).

PRECAUTIONS
•
Use only RITRON-supplied chargers; other
chargers might cause fire, explosion, or other
damage to the radio.
•
Do not "fast-charge" a brand new battery pack.
Otherwise, the battery might be damaged.
•
Once the battery has been charged fully using
the normal rate, the fast rate may be used
thereafter.
•
Do not fast-charge a battery pack that is fully
charged. This can shorten battery life.
•
Do not charge or replace a battery in an
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking can
ignite an explosion.
•
Do not dispose of a battery in fire. An explosion
might result.
•
Do not charge the battery in temperatures colder
than about 45°F. Electrolyte leakage can occur
and ruin the battery.
•
Charging in temperatures above approximately
95°F will not harm the battery, but can reduce its
charge capacity.

SST-144
BATTERY CONDITIONING
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
With daily use and recharging, a battery’s service life
is about one year. To ensure maximum service life,
follow these guidelines:
•
DO NOT discharge a battery that is already “run
down.” If the battery cannot power your radio,
recharge the battery.
•
DO NOT overcharge a battery. The standard
battery should not be left to charge continuously.
•
Condition battery packs once a month as
directed in Battery Conditioning.
•
Condition batteries that are run down.
•
Charge batteries for 16 hours before storage,
and for 16 hours once a month thereafter.
•
DO NOT charge batteries in temperatures colder
than about 45°F. Charging batteries in
temperatures above 95°C. does not harm them,
but can reduce charge capacity.
It is time to purchase a new battery:
•
When the radio’s transmitter coverage decreases
or does not work at all.
•
When the radio quits working after just a few
hours of use, even with a full overnight charge.
•
When the battery is more than two years old.
The date of manufacture is stamped on every
battery. The first two digits indicate the year, the
last two digits the week.
Due to the extended run time of the SST-144 radio,
some users may never fully discharge the battery
pack during normal use. Achieve maximum battery
life by fully discharging the battery periodically to
condition it.
After exposing the battery pack to many cycles of not
fully discharging it before recharging, the radio may
exhibit reduced battery capacity. This reduced
capacity is evident when, after several hours of use,
battery voltage drops while the radio is transmitting,
causing the radio to emit a dead battery warning tone
and shut itself off.
Condition battery packs by the following procedure as
either a preventive measure, or if you suspect
reduced capacity:
1.
Use your radio throughout a normal working day
without charging.
2.
Press and hold the On/ Volume Up and Volume
Down/ Off buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds
to place the radio in "open squelch" mode.
3.
Release both buttons when you hear the radio
beep rapidly; it will then emit a loud "rushing"
noise. Press On/ Volume Up to maximize this
noise.
4.
Put the radio away in a secure place (possibly a
desk drawer), where nothing can press against
the buttons to accidentally turn it off or cause it to
transmit. Allow the radio to run until it shuts off
when the battery is completely discharged. A
typical battery pack may require up to 8 hours to
completely discharge.
5.
When the radio has shut off, charge it overnight
for 12-14 hours. The battery will be ready for use
with renewed capacity.

OPERATION
SST-144
RADIO OPERATION
On-off/Volume
To switch on the radio - press the On/Volume Up
button. The radio will beep a number of times equal
to the current channel number.
To adjust the volume - press the volume up button
until you reach the desired level. You should hear
noise and any broadcasts on the channel.
To turn off the radio - press and hold the Off/Volume
Down button until two tones sound.
To determine whether the radio is on - press the
volume down button. If the radio is on, noise or
activity on the channel is heard.
Receive
To hear calls from other users - adjust the volume as
desired. The radio can receive broadcasts while the
Push-To-Talk button is not being pressed. Whether
or not you hear these broadcasts depends upon the
squelch settings.
There are two types of squelch used in the SST-144
portable. First is carrier squelch. This lets you hear
all broadcasts on your channel strong enough for the
radio to detect, and silences noise. Second is one of
the selective signaling or “tone squelch” formats
available on the SST-144. This allows you to screen
out “on-channel” broadcasts that do not carry the
correct code programmed for the radio.
Note: It is possible that the beginning of a call might
be missed while the radio is in battery saver
mode. If this happens, ask the caller to repeat
the message.
Selective Signaling Squelch
To activate tone squelch - simultaneously press both
of the volume buttons. Hold for a second or two
before releasing. When tone squelch is turned on,
the handheld sounds one beep. When carrier
squelch is on, the radio emits a "double beep."
Battery Saver
The handheld has a programmable "battery saver"
feature that conserves battery power. The battery
saver constantly checks the radio's transmitter,
receiver and controls for activity. If a number of
seconds pass without the receiver detecting a call,
and without the user operating a control, this feature
removes power from most of the radio.
During this "off-time," any activity restores full power.
Every few fractions of a second, the battery saver
applies power to the receiver, checking for
broadcasts. It is possible that the first part of an
incoming call might go unheard before activity is
detected and power restored. If this happens, the
caller can repeat his message. Once "radio contact"
is made, normal unhurried conversation can follow.
Transmit
Normally, you should not transmit until no one is
talking on the channel.
To transmit - hold down the Push-To-Talk button and
with the radio four inches away talk into the
microphone. Speak in a normal tone, since talking
louder will not improve the listener’s reception.
Channel Selection
To change channels - press and release the Channel
button. The radio will beep a number of times equal
to the current channel number. Pressing the Channel
button again will increment the channel and the radio
will beep the new channel number. For example, if
you select channel 2, the handheld will beep twice. If
the highest channel number is selected and you
press the Channel button, the radio will reset to
channel 1. A one-channel radio will beep only once
when you press the Channel button.
Note: If you continue to hold down the volume
buttons after the beep (or double beep), the
radio will start beeping repeatedly. This
means that squelch is turned off. Release the
buttons. To restore squelch, press and hold
both of the volume buttons until the radio
sounds a beep or double beep.
Monitor
To monitor the channel - press one of the volume
control buttons. When you press the volume up or
the volume down button, squelch turns off and all
radio traffic on the channel (and noise) sounds in the
speaker.
OPERATION
SST-144
WHAT THE RADIO TONES MEAN
OPTIONAL RADIO TONES
The handheld responds to certain instructions by
sounding a beep or series of tones. These tones can
tell you whether the radio is working as you expect.
The SST-144 can be programmed using the RITRON
PC Programmer for optional alert tones.
Receive Squelch Tone
Power On/Self Check “OK”
When it is first turned on, the radio runs a quick “self
test” to confirm basic functions. The radio then beeps
the number of times equal to the channel number
selected. The radio is then ready to use.
Error Tones
However, if the “self test” detects a diagnostic error,
an error tone sounds. Alternating tones (the second
is longer and lower pitched) indicate the radio
frequency synthesizer is malfunctioning. Turn off the
radio and try again. A long, low-pitched tone means
the battery voltage is too low to operate the radio. In
this case, recharge the battery. If you cannot correct
a problem, consult an authorized Ritron service
facility or Ritron.
A short tone sounds at the end of each received
transmission to indicate that you may transmit.
Busy Channel Transmit Inhibit
If a user is transmitting on your radio frequency
without your tone, you will not be allowed to transmit.
The radio will beep a series of long, low tones while
the PTT is held down (like a busy signal).
Transmitter Time Out
A low tone followed by a higher-pitched tone sounds
and the transmitter automatically shuts off if you hold
down the PTT button longer than the programmed
Time-out. The radio automatically switches to receive
mode. Authorized service personnel can turn off this
feature.
Channel Select
When the Channel button is pressed, the radio beeps
a number of times equal to the current channel
number. Pressing the Channel button again will
increment the channel and the radio will beep the
new channel number.
Tone Squelch
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
If you are going to attach the belt clip to the handheld,
follow these instructions:
1.
When you press and hold both Volume buttons at the
same time, a single beep will sound to indicate that
tone squelch is on. A "double beep" means that
carrier squelch is on.
Do not use petroleum solvents of any kind on the
radio. These can corrode the case.
2.
Place the belt clip on top of the radio case back,
with the screw hole in the aligned with the hole in
the radio case.
3.
Using the screw that came with this accessory,
attach the clip to the radio.
Recharge Battery Alert
As the battery voltage approaches the minimum
required “operating voltage” the radio will emit a short
beep every minute to alert the user that the battery
will soon need recharging. Once the battery charge
drops below the required "operating voltage," the
radio emits a long, low tone and turns itself off. If you
turn the radio back on, it will beep again and shut
itself off. Recharge the battery.
The belt clip is fastened to the radio case back
with the Philips head screw provided. Use the
screw included, since a longer screw might
damage the radio’s electronics.
OPERATION
SST-144
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have trouble operating the handheld, review the
radio controls and operation sections. If you think the
radio is malfunctioning, check the following table.
GENERAL
The radio does not work at all.
•
•
Make sure the battery is installed correctly, as
shown in FIG-1.
Recharge or replace the battery. (See note 1.)
An error tone sounds while you are talking. (and
the transmitter shuts off).
•
BATTERY
The battery loses its charge sooner than
expected.
•
•
•
Operating features do not work exactly as expected.
•
The radio has been factory or dealer
programmed for customized operation.
Reception is poor.
•
•
1.
Try a battery pack from a working radio. If the radio in
question works with that pack, the original battery is
suspect. Charge the suspect battery as recommended
in this manual. Then, if the charged original battery
cannot power the handheld, try charging again with
another charger. If the battery still doesn’t hold a
charge, the pack should probably be replaced.
However, if the battery appears to be good after you try
the second charger, the first charger might be faulty. If
you think that an accessory is not operating properly,
contact your dealer or RITRON. (Radio accessories
come with a 90-day limited warranty.)
2.
Reception can often be improved by moving a short
distance. This effect is more noticeable inside of
buildings. The range of these portables equipped with
a standard battery pack is about two miles (line-ofsight).
3.
If your radio does not detect calls from other radios on
the channel, turn off tone squelch. (Press both Volume
buttons at the same time - a double beep means that
tone squelch is off.)
4.
If you want to hear a call, you must select a channel
that is programmed to receive the caller’s transmit
frequency. If you want to call another unit, you must
select a channel that is programmed to transmit the
other radio’s receive frequency. However, if you use a
repeater, your channel must be programmed to work
with the repeater’s transmit and receive frequencies.
(A radio channel can hold two separate operating
frequencies, one for Receive, the other for Transmit.)
5.
Maximum power drain occurs while the radio transmits,
so don’t hold down the Push-To-Talk button more than
necessary. Battery power is used while the handheld is
left on to receive calls. If practical, switch off the unit.
6.
In extreme cold, a battery’s charge capacity is greatly
reduced. If you use the radio in very cold weather,
periodically warm the portable underneath your coat if
possible. An optional remote speaker/microphone
would allow you to keep the radio under your coat while
transmitting and receiving.
7.
In order for radios to communicate using Quiet Call,
they must be programmed with the same tone code.
Each code is unique, and your radio will respond only
to the code programmed. Press and hold both volume
buttons at the same time. A single beep means that
tone squelch is on. A double beep means that tone
squelch is off.
Move to a different location. (Note 2.)
Confirm that the proper antenna is connected to
the radio. (See p. 11, "Antenna.")
•
Turn off tone squelch. (See Note 3.)
Be certain your radio receives on the same as
the caller transmits. (Note 4.)
Recharge the battery. (Note 1.)
Your calls cannot be heard in other radios.
•
•
Make sure that your radio transmits on the
receive frequency of the radio(s) you want to call.
(Note 4.)
Recharge the battery. (Note 1.)
TONE CODED SQUELCH
You cannot screen out calls from users outside of
your tone group.
•
•
Make sure the channel is programmed with tone
squelch.
Activate Tone (coded) squelch. (Note 7.)
You cannot hear Tone coded messages while in
Tone (coded) squelch.
•
Confirm that the channel is programmed to
detect the same code as the calling radio(s)
transmits. (Note 7.)
Others in your tone group cannot hear your tone
coded messages.
•
Verify that you transmit the same code as the
radio(s) you call are programmed to detect.
(Note 7.)
ERROR TONES
An error tone sounds when the radio is first
turned on.
•
•
Replace the battery. (Note 1.)
See "Error Tones" in the Operation section.
Review the battery charging instructions.
Conserve the battery. (Note 5.)
If the radio is used in extreme cold, warm the
radio under your coat. (Note 6.)
Notes
You cannot hear calls from other radios.

PROGRAMMING THE RADIO
SST-144
PROGRAMMING METHODS
Each SST-144 can be programmed to operate on up
to 10 channels. The SST-144 may be programmed
using the Push-to-Talk switch or an optional RITRON
PC programming kit.
PTT (PUSH-TO-TALK) PROGRAMMING allows you
to program any channel to one of the radio
frequencies listed in Table 1 and any Quiet Call code
listed in Table 2. The radio will transmit and receive
on the programmed table frequency and QC code.
PC PROGRAMMING allows you to program any
frequency within the band and channel spacing of the
radio model. This method also lets you customize the
handheld with optional operating features.
PTT (PUSH-TO-TALK) PROGRAMMING
Note: If the radio will not enter PTT program
mode, this feature has probably been turned off
using the optional PC programming kit.

for a received signal. A long Battery Saver Off Time
may cause the user to miss the beginning of the first
message when in battery saver mode.
Beep Volume Level - The radio can be programmed
for a fixed beep volume or for a beep volume that is
adjusted with the Volume controls. If fixed beep
volume is selected, the fixed level can be set between
0 – 100%.
Busy Channel Transmit Inhibit - This keeps the radio
from broadcasting if the channel is busy, and is often
used in conjunction with Disable Monitor. If you press
the PTT when the channel is busy with a signal not
intended for your radio (not carrying your tone code),
this feature sounds a "busy" tone in the speaker and
keeps the transmitter turned off.
Channel Beep Rate - The rate at which the channel
indicator beeps occur can be set to fast or slow.
Channel Selection Mode - This feature allows the
channel selector to increment or enter the channel.
The channel number is "beeped out" when the

the next available channel if the channel button is
pressed again within three seconds. In enter mode
the user must press the channel button the number of
times equal to the channel they wish to select.
Digital Quiet Call RX Invert - The programmed code
is inverted for receive mode only.
Digital Quiet Call TX Invert - The code is inverted for
transmit mode.
Disable Monitor - This function may be programmed
to keep the radio user from listening to other
licensees on a shared channel. QC or DQC must be
used for this option to have any affect, and the
Encode Only feature disabled.
Maximum Number of Channels - The number of
channels available on the radio can be set from 1 to
10.
Narrow Band Channel - Any channel can be set to
operate in narrow band mode, reducing the transmit
deviation to 2.5 KHz.
PTT Programming Mode Enabled - This feature
allows channel programming from a table of predetermined frequencies using the radio PTT switch.

PROGRAMMING THE RADIO
SST-144
Quiet Call (CTCSS)- Programming a Quiet Call code
allows you to screen out transmissions that do not
carry your code. Your code is broadcast when you
press the PTT to make a call.
Quiet Call Encode Only - The Quiet Call code
programmed for the channel is transmitted with your
calls. However, no Quiet Call code is programmed
for receive mode, allowing all traffic on the channel to
be heard.
Receive Frequency - The radio frequency that
receives broadcasts from other units.
Receive Squelch Tone - The receiving radio beeps at
the end of each received transmission.
Squelch Tightener - This feature reduces distant "cochannel" or other interference for channels that are
not programmed with Quiet Call. Carrier squelch is
set for maximum sensitivity at the factory, but may be
adjusted to mute weak signals
Transmit Frequency - The radio frequency that
broadcasts to other units.
Transmit Power – Any channel can be set to transmit
at high or low power.
Transmit Time Out Timer - This feature automatically
shuts off the transmitter (ending your call) if you hold
down the PTT button continuously for 60 seconds.
The radio sounds a tone when the transmitter shuts
off.
Turn On To Medium Volume Level - The volume level
is at mid-range when the radio is first turned on.
Normally, the volume level is low when the radio is
turned on.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The SST-144 is a four-channel handheld transceiver
built on a single multi-layer printed circuit board. Both
sides of the main printed circuit board are populated
with components, with the bottom side containing
only surface mounted components.
The SST-144 is frequency synthesized, with all
functions of the radio controlled by microcontroller.
POWER SUPPLY AND VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION
The SST-144 is powered by an internal 6-cell
rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack supplies
power to the radio via two contact terminals that are
connected to the PCB through P302. F301 is a 3A
fuse in series with P302 for short circuit protection.
The battery pack may be charged through 2.5 mm
charge jack J301 via CR302 and F301. Zener diode
CR301 prevents the batteries from discharging
through the charger accessory, stops a reverse
voltage from being applied to the battery pack
through J301, and prevents a high voltage from being
applied to the radio circuitry.
SW301 ON/VOL UP switch is pressed to turn on the
SST-144, turning on voltage pass transistor Q304 via
R302 and CR303. Q304 supplies power to IC309, a
+5 VDC regulator used to power microcontroller
IC301. Pin 13 of IC301 turns on Q303, which keeps
Q304 turned on after SW301 has been released.
Power is removed from the SST-144 by pressing the
VOL DN/OFF switch SW302 until a beep is heard
from the speaker, at which time Q304 is turned off.
+5 VDC regulator IC309 supplies power directly to
microcontroller IC301, bilateral audio gates IC304,
reference oscillator Y302, synthesizer IC401, and
PTT detect transistor Q302.
The T/R output at Pin 11 of IC301 lets Q101 switch
the regulated +5 VDC to the receiver. Pin 11 of
IC301 will also turn on Q202, which turns on voltage
pass transistor Q201. With Q201 emitter connected
to the +VBATT battery supply, the collector output is
connected to the emitter of Q202 through voltage
divider R202/R203, whose values are selected to limit
the TX+V voltage to +6 VDC.
Power Strobe
The SST-144 handheld includes a power strobe
feature, which reduces battery current drain by
periodically removing voltage from part of the radio.
The strobe off cycle time is programmable using the
PC Programming Kit. The +5V SW power strobe
output at Pin 10 of IC301 controls Q306, which
switches the regulated +5 VDC to the audio
processing circuitry and the synthesizer circuitry.
This includes IC303A 2.5 VDC (Vag) for bias on
audio processing circuitry, IC303C audio high pass
filter, IC308 and IC305A audio low pass filter for subaudible frequencies, IC305B audio limiting amplifier,
SST-144
IC306 digital potentiometers, IC303B audio summing
node amplifier, and IC303D audio low pass filter.
Low Battery Voltage Detection
Battery voltage is measured at A/D input Pin 16 of
IC301 through voltage divider R303/R305. The radio
will emit a periodic beep if low battery voltage is
detected, and will turn the radio off if the battery
voltage drops below +5 VDC. This is to protect the
microcontroller and its EE memory from corruption
due to low supply voltage.
REFERENCE OSCILLATOR
Reference oscillator Y302 is a 1.5 ppm temperature
controlled, voltage controlled oscillator (TCVCXO)
operating at 14.4 MHz. The Pin 4 output of the
TCVCXO provides a reference for the frequency
synthesizer IC401 at Pin 20. IC401 is programmed to
provide an output at Pin 1 that is ¼ of the reference
(3.6 MHz), which is applied as a reference oscillator
to Pin 27 of IC301 microcontroller. The Y302 pin 4
output is also multiplied up to 43.2 MHz by Q105 and
its associated circuitry to provide a receiver 2nd local
oscillator signal.
SYNTHESIZER
The SST-144 radio is built around a common phaselocked loop (PLL) that consists of a voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO) and a frequency synthesizer. The
PLL generates both the receiver 1st local oscillator
and transmitter carrier signals. Control signals from
microcontroller IC301 and Reference oscillator Y302
are routed to frequency synthesizer IC401 per the
following chart:

Q404, CR401, C414 and associated components
provide a filtered supply for the VCO oscillator and
buffer amplifiers.
Prescaler Divider / Synthesizer Controller
IC401 contains both a prescaler and synthesizer
controller. The prescaler squares and divides the
VCO output present at pin 11 by either 64 or 65,
determined by a synthesizer controller logic signal.
The exact number of times the prescaler is instructed
16
THEORY OF OPERATION
to change divisors is determined by the channel
frequency.
IC401 contains a digital phase detector that works as
follows: when an operating channel is changed or the
receive/transmit mode switched, a new synthesizer
operating frequency is selected. Microcontroller
IC301 clocks new data into IC401 internal buffer in
synchronization with clock pulses. The channel
information is stored in EE memory of IC302 and is
loaded into RAM when the channel is selected.
Once new data is loaded into the buffer, a single
pulse from IC301 appears at IC401 to instruct the
synthesizer controller to latch and execute the new
data. IC401 utilizes internal circuitry to determine
whether the present VCO output frequency is correct
by comparing the phase and frequency of the VCO
signal at Pin 11 to the 14.4 MHz reference oscillator
at Pin 20. IC401 produces an output signal at Pin 6,
a single-ended phase/frequency detector output,
proportional to the phase difference between the two
input signals.
The loop filter C429, C427, R419, R420, R418, and
C426 transform the Pin 6 output signal to a DC
voltage for application to the VCO tuning varactor
CR402. The synthesizer system is “locked” when the
phase and frequency of both the reference and the
divided VCO signal are the same.
The maximum amount of current this output can sink
or source is determined by the value of R421 tied to
Pin 8 of IC401, with the output current programmable
to 25, 50 or 100% of maximum.
VCO / Buffer Amplifiers
Q403, L401, L406, CR402 and associated
components form the VCO (Voltage Controlled
Oscillator), a resonant circuit that oscillates at
frequencies from 150 MHz in transmit to 205 MHz in
receive (receive frequency + 43.65 MHz) to. Varying
the voltage at CR402 changes the varactor
capacitance, which in turn alters the VCO output
frequency.
When in receive mode a +5 VDC T/RSW signal is
applied to Q406, which turns on Q405 to draw current
through pin diode CR404 and L403. With CR404
biased on, L402 is effectively shorted to ground,
shifting the VCO frequency up 43.65 MHz.
Q401 and Q402 are buffer amplifiers, with Q401
feeding in the input of the synthesizer at Pin 11, the
receiver 1st local oscillator and the transmitter preamplifier.
Oscillator Modulation
When the SST-144 is in transmit, modulation balance
control IC306E passes TX audio through to the VCO
modulation input at R416. TX audio is applied to
varactor CR403 to modulate the VCO. TX audio is
also routed to the Pin 1 input of TCVCXO reference
oscillator Y302. Low frequency tones modulate the
SST-144
reference oscillator because the synthesizer is not
able to track them.
DIGITAL POTENTIOMETERS
IC306 contains 6 digital potentiometers programmed
by IC301, sharing the same clock and data outputs
used by the synthesizer and a separate Digital Pot
Latch signal from Pin 8. The digital potentiometers
are used in conjunction with IC303B, a summing
node amplifier used for modulating the VCO and
reference oscillator. IC306A, B, D, E, and F can only
be changed through serial programming, and can
only be performed by an authorized licensed RF
technician.
IC306A is connected through R352 to the Pin 6 input
of IC303B. IC306A adjusts the DC output of IC303B
to tune the reference oscillator frequency.
IC306B is connected to the Pin 2 Gate control of RF
power transistor Q203 to adjust transmitter power
output.
Volume control IC306C applies the processed voice
band signals at IC303D to audio amplifier IC307
when in receive mode. Depressing the ON/VOL UP
switch SW301 increases the setting of IC306C while
VOL DN/OFF switch SW302 decreases it.
Transmitter tone deviation control IC306D applies the
output of the selective signaling low-pass filter IC308
to the Pin 6 input of IC303B through R350. IC306D is
completely closed in receive mode.
Transmitter modulation balance control IC306E is
used to apply the Pin 7 output of IC303B to the VCO
modulation input. This will set the ratio of the
modulating signal applied to the VCO and the
reference oscillator. IC306E is completely closed in
receive mode.
Transmitter voice deviation control IC306F applies
the processed voice band signals at IC303D to the
Pin 6 input of IC303B through R349. IC306F is
completely closed in receive mode.
RECEIVER
As mentioned before, Q101 switches the regulated
+5 VDC to the receiver. The +VRX receiver voltage
is switched at the strobe duty cycle if programmed for
power strobe.
RF Amplifier
A received signal from the antenna passes through a
low-pass filter (L207, C218, C217, L208, C219, and
C222) to the receiver headend. L101, L103, and the
associated capacitors form a bandpass filter ahead of
low-noise RF amplifier Q102. The amplified RF
signal is applied to a 2-pole bandpass filter consisting
of L104, L105, and associated capacitors.
17
THEORY OF OPERATION
1st Mixer
The amplified received input signal is applied to the
gate of FET mixer Q103. The 1st local oscillator
signal from the synthesizer module is applied to the
source of Q103. L106, C117 and C118 tune the drain
output of Q103 to 43.65 MHz and apply it to YF101, a
43.65 MHz two-pole crystal filter. Q104 and
associated components amplify the 43.65 MHz IF
signal and apply it to the input of the 2nd mixer at Pin
16 of IC101.
FM Receiver Subsystem
A multi-function integrated circuit, IC101 and
associated components for the FM-receiver
subsystem. The subsystem performs the following
functions: 1) 2nd mixer, 2) 2nd IF amplifier, 3) FM
detector, and 4) noise amplifier.
The Pin 4 output of 14.4 MHz reference oscillator
Y302 is multiplied up to 43.2 MHz by Q105 and
associated components. This signal is applied to the
2nd local oscillator input at Pin 1 of IC101. The 43.65
MHz signal at Pin 16 and the 2nd local oscillator are
mixed, with the resulting 450 KHz output signal
appearing at Pin 3. This signal is filtered by a 450
KHz 6-pole ceramic filter YF102 and applied to the
input of the limiting IF amplifier at Pin 5. IC101 Pin 6
is the de-coupled input to the IF amplifier, Pin 7 the
limited IF output signal. An internal quadrature
detector, whose center frequency is determined by
450 KHz quadrature coil T101, detects the FM IF
signal. One input of the quadrature detector is
connected internally to the IF signal at Pin 7, while
the other input is the phase-shifted signal from T101
at Pin 8.
Demodulated audio appears at Pin 9, where a lowpass filter (R114, C130) removes spurious quadrature
output prior to application to the voice/tone
conditioning audio circuitry. Demodulated audio from
Pin 9 is applied to the Pin 10 input of a noise
filter/amplifier consisting of R112, C123, C124, R110,
R111 and R113. The Pin 11 output of the noise
amplifier is applied to a biased noise detector CR103,
with the output connected to an A/D input of IC301 at
Pin 19. The SST-144 is serial programmed to set the
squelch threshold and hysteresis.
SST-144
IC304C for subaudible tone detection and connection
to IC304A for voice band audio processing.
Voice Band
Bilateral switch IC304A passes the received audio
signal to the input of IC303C, which along with its
associated components for a high-pass filter/amplifier
circuit that attenuates audio signals below 300 Hz.
The output of IC303C is applied to the input of
IC305B limiting amplifier. Bilateral switch IC304B is
switched in receive to insert C351 into the feedback
circuit of IC305B, providing de-emphasis of the
received audio signal. Bilateral switch IC304B also
removes R335 from the Pin 6 input to reduce the gain
and prevent limiting.
The output from IC305B is applied to the input of
IC303D, which along with its associated components
form an 18dB/octave low-pass filter for frequencies
above 3000 Hz.
The output of IC303D is connected to IC306C volume
control prior to connection to audio amplifier IC307.
The output of IC303D is also connected to IC306F
voice deviation control, which is completely closed in
receive mode to prevent received signals from
modulating the VCO and reference oscillators.
Audio frequency tones from Pin 24 of microcontroller
IC301 are applied to the Pin 6 input of IC305B to
provide the SST-144 alert tones.
Sub-Audible
Bilateral switch IC304C passes the received audio
signal to the input of IC305A, which amplifies the
signal and applies it to the Pin 2 input of IC308, a 5pole low-pass filter that attenuates frequencies above
250 Hz.
The output at Pin 5 is applied to an A/D input of
IC301 at Pin 18 for tone decoding. An internal digital
signal processing routine programmed into
microcontroller IC301 is used to decode the correct
selective signaling code. The output at Pin 5 of
IC308 is also connected to tone deviation control
IC306D, which is completely closed in receive mode
to prevent received subaudible tone signals from
modulating the VCO and reference oscillators.
Voice / Tone Conditioning in Receive Mode
SST-144 audio conditioning filter circuits are shared
with the transmitter. The same high-pass
filter/amplifier (IC303C and associated components)
used in receive voice band conditioning is used in the
transmit band. Similarly, the low-pass filter (IC308
and associated components) used for selective signal
tone decode filtering is also used for selective signal
encoding. Altering circuit configuration with bilateral
switches IC304A, B and C permits the use of the
same audio filtering system for both transmit and
receive modes.
After R114 and C130 remove the 450 KHz element
from the demodulated audio output at Pin 9 of IC101,
C333 couples the audio signal to bilateral switch
Audio Amplifier
Receive audio from volume control IC306C is applied
to the Pin 2 input IC307, a 1 Watt audio amplifier.
C365 couples the Pin 5 output to the internal 8Ω
speaker SP301 via audio jack J303.
Microcontroller IC301 Pin 22 switches DC power to
the audio amplifier by turning on Q307, which then
turns on pass transistor Q308 to apply battery voltage
to Pin 6 of the audio amp. CR307 prevents an
inadvertent DC voltage at J303 from damaging the
audio amplifier.
18
THEORY OF OPERATION
ANTENNA SWITCHING / LOW PASS FILTER
A low-pass filter comprised of filter L208, C222,
C219, C218, C217, L207, and C220 removes
harmonics from the transmitter output before applying
the RF signal to the antenna. Received signals pass
through the low-pass filter before entering the
receiver RF amplifier circuitry.
Two PIN diodes (CR201, CR101) and associated
components form the antenna switching circuit. With
the SST-144 in receive mode, no voltage is applied to
the PIN diodes and they do not conduct. This reverse
biases CR201 to prevent the transmitter amplifier
from affecting the receiver tuning and removes
CR101 from the receiver input. Incoming signals
from the antenna pass through the low-pass filter,
then L206 and C101 to the receiver headend.
When the SST-144 is switched into transmit mode,
transmitter supply voltage is switched on by Q201
and Q202 and applied to R207. Current flows
through R207, L205, CR201, L206 and then CR101
to ground, forward biasing the PIN diodes. CR201
passes transmitter RF power to the antenna while
CR101 shunts the receiver RF amplifier input to
ground. L206 provides sufficient impedance to
isolate the transmitter power from the receiver RF
amplifier.
TRANSMITTER
Keying
The SST-144 transmitter is keyed when PTT switch
SW304 is depressed. Electret condenser
microphone M301 is connected in series to ground
with the PTT switch, which when depressed draws
current through M301, SW304, CR304 and R307 to
turn on pass transistor Q302. Q302 then turns on
Q301 to pull the TX Key Pin 2 input of microcontroller
IC301 low. The microcontroller T/R output at Pin 11
then goes high to turn on Q202, which turns on pass
transistor Q201 to apply +6VDC to the transmitter as
described previously. The transmitter can also be
keyed through J301 with an audio accessory that
inserts a microphone and PTT switch in series to
ground, drawing current through CR304.
SST-144
Power Amplifier
Q204 and associated components amplify the VCO
signal and apply it to the input of RF Final amplifier
module Q203 at Pin 1. The 50Ω output of Q203 is
matched to the antenna switching circuitry and
applied to the antenna through the low-pass filter.
The RF power output is programmable by a licensed
RF technician. The SST-144 can be programmed on
a channel-by-channel basis for low or high power
operation. The power control digital Potentiometer
IC306B is used to adjust the Q203 gate voltage and
set RF power output.
Voice / Tone Conditioning in Transmit Mode
SST-144 audio conditioning filter circuits are shared
with the receiver. The same high-pass filter/amplifier
(IC303C and associated components) used in receive
voice band conditioning is used in the transmitter
voice band. Similarly, the low-pass filter (IC308 and
associated components) used for sub-audible tone
decode filtering is also used for tone encode. Altering
circuit configuration with bilateral switches IC304A, B
and C permits the use of the same audio filtering
system for both transmit and receive modes.
Voice Band
M301 microphone audio is passes through CR304,
C334 and is switched by IC304A to the input of
IC303C, which along with its associated components
form a high-pass filter/amplifier circuit that attenuates
audio signals below 300 Hz. The output of IC303C is
applied to the input of IC305B limiting amplifier.
Bilateral switch IC304B switches R335 in parallel with
R336, raising the gain of limiting amplifier IC305B for
full limiting of the transmitter voice audio. The output
of IC305B is applied to the input of IC303D, which
along with its associated components form an 18
dB/octave low-pass filter for frequencies above 3
KHz. The output of IC303D is applied to voice
deviation control IC306F, which sets the level of the
processed transmitter audio applied to summing node
amplifier IC303B used to modulate the VCO and
reference oscillator.
Sub-Audible
+VTX Supply
With the transmitter enabled as described above, the
+VTX voltage from Q201 is applied to transmitter RF
amplifier Q204. +VTX supply also forward biases the
PIN switching diodes CR201 and CR101 as
previously described. The transmitter RF final
amplifier Q203 is powered by the battery supply.
The Pin 11 T/R output of microcontroller IC301 can
be PC programmed to hold the transmitter on after
the PTT switch has been released to allow tone
related turn-off codes for squelch tail elimination.
Microcontroller IC301 generates the sub-audible
selective signaling encode waveforms at Pin 21 and
applies them to the input of buffer amplifier IC305A.
The output of IC305A is applied to the input of IC308,
a 5-pole low-pass filter that attenuates frequencies
above 250 Hz. C342 and C343 set the corner
frequency of the low-pass filter, with C342 switched in
by Pin 7 of IC301 to lower the corner frequency for
lower tones. The output of IC308 is applied to tone
deviation control IC306D, which sets the level of the
transmitter sub-audible encode tones applied to
summing node amplifier IC303B used to modulate
the VCO and reference oscillator.

Synthesizer circuitry to shift the frequency of the
VCO oscillator used in both transmit and receive.

depressed to turn on the radio and raise the
receiver speaker audio level.
17 A/D input VOL DN/OFF is pulled LOW when
SW302 is depressed to lower the receiver
speaker audio level and turn off the radio. This
input also serves as CHANNEL input, and goes
to 2.5 VDC when channel selector switch SW303
is pressed to change the radio to the next
programmed channel.
18 A/D input TONE DECODE accepts the received
QC (CTCSS) and DQC (DCS) waveforms after
signal processing for decode analysis.
19 A/D input RSSI is used to measure the output
voltage of the noise filter for squelch detection.

signal processing prior to modulating the VCO in
transmit mode.

RECEIVER SENSITIVITY AND SQUELCH
The SST-144 receiver is factory tuned for a frequency
range of 150 - 162 MHz. The SST-144 receiver is
configured from the factory for Wide Band operation,
with a Narrow Band Model available as an option.
The SST-144 receiver bandwidth is configured on a
per radio basis, it cannot be switched on a per
channel basis.
The receiver may be programmed to any frequency
between 150-162 MHz.

SYNTHESIZER
1)
Program the radio to a receive frequency in the
middle of the 12 MHz band.
2)
Set the RF Communications Test Set’s generator
to the programmed receive frequency at a RF
level of –120 dB. Modulate the RF signal with a 1
KHz tone at 3 KHz deviation for wide band, 1.5
KHz deviation for narrow band.
The synthesizer is preset at the factory for operation
between 150 and 162 MHz. There is no manual
adjustment to center the control voltage, with all
adjustment performed by the factory selection of fixed
capacitor C413. Do not attempt to adjust the
synthesizer control unless a key component in the
synthesizer has been replaced. Key components do
not include the Y302 reference frequency TCVCXO or
IC401 synthesizer IC. Synthesizer alignment errors
cause poor operation at temperature extremes.
3)
Check receiver sensitivity at the lowest and
highest operating frequencies and make slight
adjustment to L103 and L104 to balance
between the two, if necessary.
Should adjustment of the VCO control voltage be

Press the “OK” button on the Channel Edit
screen to return to the Channel List screen.
Squeeze or spread L401 or L406 that allows
VCO control voltages between 1.5 and 4.5
VDC for the operating frequencies desired.
Squeezing L401 or L406 will raise the
operating frequency of the VCO while
spreading L401 or L406 will lower the VCO
frequency.
c)
Replace the top of the synthesizer shield.
6)
Select any other channels to be set.
