Vertex Standard VX-2500V ユーザーズマニュアル

The VX-2500V is a VHF FM mobile transceiver designed

to operate in the frequency range of 134 to 174MHz.

The receiver is a double-conversion  superheterodyne with

a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 44.25MHz and a sec-

ond IF of 450kHz. Incoming signals from the antenna are

mixed with the local signal from PLL to produce the first

IF of 44.25MHz.
This is then mixed with the 43.8MHz second local oscilla-

tor (using the 14.6MHz reference crystal) output to pro-

duce the 450kHz second IF. This is detected to give the

demodulated signal.
The transmit signal frequency is generated by PLL VCO,

and modulated by the signal from the microphone. It is

then amplified and sent to the antenna.

Incoming RF signals from the antenna connector are de-

livered to the RF Unit, and pass through a low-pass filter

(LPF) antenna switching network consisting of coils L1001,

L1002, L1003, L1005, and L1007, capacitors C1004,

C1009,C1016, C1019, and C1025, and antenna switching

diodes D1005 and D1007 (both UM9957F) for delivery to

the receiver front end.
Signals within the frequency range of the transceiver are

then passed through a varactor-tuned bandpass filter con-

sisting of L1008, L1009 before RF amplification by Q1011

(2SC4226).
The amplified RF is then band-pass filtered again by var-

actor-tuned resonators L1019, L1023 to ensure pure in-

band input to 1st mixer Q1026 (3SK228).
Buffered output from the VCO Unit is amplified by Q1021

(2SC5107) and low-pass filtered by L1030/L1032 and

C1184/C1188/C1192, to provide a pure 1st local signal

between 178.25 and 218.25MHz to the 1st mixer.
The 44.25MHz 1st mixer product then passes through dual

monolithic crystal filters XF1001 and XF1002, and is am-

plified by Q1029 (2SC4215Y) and delivered to the input

of the FM IF subsystem IC Q1028 (TA31136FN).
This IC contains the 2nd mixer, 2nd local oscillator, limit-

er amplifier, FM detector, noise amplifier, and squelch

gates.
The 2nd LO in the IF-IC is produced from crystal X1001

(14.600MHz), and the 1st IF is converted to 450kHz by the

2nd mixer and stripped of unwanted components by ce-

ramic filter CF1001 or CF1002. After passing through a

limiter amplifier, the signal is demodulated by the FM

detector CD1001 (CDBC450CX24).
Detected audio from Q1029 is applied to Q2016 (AK2345)

and audio low-pass filter. After volume adjustment by

Q2014 (M62364FP), the audio signal is amplified by the

AF power amplifier Q1509 (TDA2003H) and passed to

speaker jack.

Voice audio from the microphone is delivered via the MIC

(Jack) Unit to the PANEL Unit, after passing through

amplifier Q2022(NJM2902V), Mic gain-volume Q2014

(M62364FP) pre-emphasis Q2015 (NJM2902V), and lim-

iter Q2016 (IDC instantaneous deviation control), is ad-

justed for optimum deviation level and delivered to the

next stage.
Voice input from the microphone and CTCSS are FM-

modulated to the VCO of the synthesizer, while DCS au-

dio is modulated by the reference frequency oscillator of

the synthesizer.
Synthesizer output, after passing through diode switch

D1022  (1SS321), is amplified by driver  Q1022

(2SC5415E), Q1025 (2SC5107) and power module Q1014

(RA30H1317M) to obtain full RF output. The RF energy

then passes through antenna switch D1005/D1007 and a

low-pass filter circuit and finally to the antenna connec-

tor.
RF output power from the final amplifier is sampled by

CM coupler and is rectified by D1011, D1012 (both
HSM88AS

). The resulting DC is fed through Automatic

Power Controller  Q1003  (M5223AGP),  Q1002

(2SC4154E), Q1032 (2SC4254E), and TH1003 to trans-

mitter RF amplifier and thus the power output.
Generation of spurious products by the transmitter is min-

imized by the fundamental carrier frequency being equal

to the final transmitting frequency, modulated directly in

the transmit VCO. Additional harmonic suppression is

provided by a low-pass filter consisting of L1002, L1003,

L1005, C1004, C1009, C1016, C1019, and C1025, resulting

in more than 60dB of harmonic suppression prior to de-

livery to the RF energy to the antenna.

PLL frequency synthesizer consists of the VCO Q1013

(2SK508-K52: RX) and Q1015 (2SC4226-R24: TX), VCO

buffers Q1018, Q1020, Q1021 (all 2SC5107-0), PLL sub-

system IC Q1023 (SA7025DK) and 14.6MHz reference

crystal X1001.
The frequency stability is ±2.5ppm within temperature

range of –30 to +60 degree. The output of the 14.6MHz

reference is applied to pin 8 of the PLL IC.
While receiving, VCO Q1013 oscillates between 178.25 and

218.25MHz according to the transceiver version and the

programmed receiving frequency. The VCO generates

355.75 to 467.75MHz for providing to the first local sig-

nal. In TX, the VCO generates 134 to 174MHz.
