The AF signal ‘output from IC709 and the DTMF signal, BEEP signal are ‘summed and the resulting signal goes to the D/A converter, {1C705). The AFO output lovel is adjusted by the D/A con- verter.

(See Fig. 4.) Squelch Circuit The detection output from the FM IC {IC501) passes ‘through a noise amplifier (0502) to detect noise. A volt- ‘age is applied to the MCU {IC707}. The MCU controls the squelch according to the voltage (SQIN) level. The signal from the RSI pin of [C501 is used for the S-meter.

Q710 turns on and @ voltage is applied to 8R. During transmission, the BRC sig nal goes low, the 8TC signal goes high and Q709 tums on. 071 turns on and a voltage is applied to ST. The MCU monitors the PLL IC (IC1) LD signal directly. When the PLL is unlocked during transmission, the PLL LD. signal goes low, The MCU detects this signal and makes the 8TC signal low. When the BTC signal goes low, no vot: ago is applied to BT, and no signal is transmitted.

It FM-modulates the carrier signal by means of a varicap diode, Power Amplifier The transmit output signal from the VCO passes through {a 1/2 divider {IC2) and the transmissiorVraception selection diode (D8, D10} and is amplified by 303. The amplified signal goes to the power module (\C302) through a low-pass fiter, The low-pass filter removes unwanted high-frequency harmonic components, and the resulting signal is transmit- tod through the antenna terminal. (See Fig. 8.) APC Circuit The automatic transmission power control (APC) circuit detects part of a final amplfier output with a diode (0313, D314) and applies a voltage to 1C303. 1C303 compares the APC control voltage (PC) generated by the D/A convertor ((C706) and DC amplifier (C706) with the detection output voltage. 1C303 generates the voltage to control the Vag of, 1C202 and stablizes the transmission output The APC circuit is configured to protect over current of 1€302 due to fluctuations of the load at the antenna end and to stabilize transmission output at voltage and temperature variations.
