CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
6-2. Low battery warning
The battery voltage is monitored by the microprocessor
(IC15). When the battery voltage falls below the voltage set
by the Low Battery Warning adjustment, the red LED
flashes to notify the operator that it is time to replace the
battery. If the battery voltage falls even more (approx. 5.8V),
a beep sounds and transmission is stopped.

Low, Q0 to Q7 become High sequentially. Normally, KI1 and
KI2 are Low (pulled down). When any key is pressed, KI1 or
KI2 become High. The CPU detects which key is pressed,
according to the voltage of KI1 and KI2 and clock timing.

7. Signalling Circuit
7-1. Encode
• Low-speed data (QT,DQT,LTR)
• Low-speed data (QT,DQT,LTR)
Low-speed data is output from pin 36 of the CPU. The
signal passes through a low-pass CR filter, and goes to the
summing amplifier (IC3 1/2). The signal is mixed with the
audio signal and goes to the VCO (IC14) and VCXO (X2)
modulation input after passing through the D/A converter
(IC4) for BAL adjustment.
summing amplifier (IC3 1/2). The signal is mixed with the
audio signal and goes to the VCO (IC14) and VCXO (X2)
modulation input after passing through the D/A converter
(IC4) for BAL adjustment.
• High-speed data (DTMF)
High-speed data is output from pin 35 of the CPU. The
signal passes through a low-pass filter consisting of IC23,
and provides a TX DTMF tone and a RX DTMF tone including
a beep tone. The TX DTMF tone is passed to the D/A con-
vertor (IC4) for DTMF deviation adjustment, and then ap-
plied to the audio processor (IC12).

The signal is mixed with the audio signal and goes to the

• MSK
MSK signal is output from pin 6 of IC12. The signal
passes through the D/A converter (IC4) for the MSK devia-
tion adjustment, and is routed to the VCO. When encoding
MSK, the microphone input signal is muted.
