THEORY OF OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
Each of the Scanning Mobile radios, UHF & VHF, include a unique main P.C.B. consisting of RF, Digital and Analog circuitry.
DIGITAL CIRCUITRY
IC 411 and IC412 are digitally-controlled analog switches which internally consist of three single pole, double throw switches. By placing a high (5V) or low (0V) on the control lines which consists of A,B, and
C.“A” controls the X ports “B” controls the Y ports and “C” controls the Z ports. Example: A high on control “A” would connect X to X1. A low on control “A” would connect X to X0.
CTCSS/DCS Decode Circuits
Discriminator audio from Pin 9 of IC 109 is fed to IC 406 and associated parts, which are the first 2 poles of a 6th order 250Hz Chebeyshev low pass filter. The output from Pin 1 (IC406A) is fed into IC411 (Pin 2) and output to Pin 15 (IC411). The signal is then fed to Pin 8 (IC407) which is a 6th order low pass Butterworth switched capacitor filter. The output from the Butterworth filter (Pin 3 IC407) is then fed to the remaining 4 poles of the 6th order Chebeyshev, which consist of IC 406C and one of the two operational amplifiers internal to IC407 (MF6-100) along with associated components. Both the Chebeyshev and the Butterworth combines for a 4dB ripple low pass filter when programmed for 250Hz. The output of IC406C(Pin 8) is fed into the remaining operational amplifier internal to IC407 (MF6-100) which forms the squaring circuit for the Decode signal. The signal is output from Pin 2 IC407 (MF6-100) and fed into IC409 (micro) where it is matched with a preprogrammed frequency. If successful a Decode occurs, which is shown by a green L.E.D. on the front panel of the UHF Scanning Mobile and audio is heard. If valid Decode was not seen, the busy L.E.D. (Yellow) would be shown.
CTCSS/DCS Encoder Circuit
During TX encode the tone squelch digital signal is produced as a 3-bit parallel word at Pins 15 (A), 16 (B), and 18C of the micro controller (IC409). The 3-bit digital signal is converted to an analog signal by resistors R427, 428, and 430. The analog signal is fed into IC411 Pin 1. The signal is output on Pin 15 (IC411) and fed into Pin 8 of IC407 (6th order Butterworth clock tuned low pass filter). The filtered encode output from Pin 3 (IC407) is fed into Pin 13 (IC411) and output on Pin 14 (IC411).
The filtered encode signal is fed to IC405B and RV403 (sub-audible gain control), the output of IC405B is then fed to the audio mixer circuit.
Channel Select Circuit
One of 4 channels may be selected using the channel switch on the front panel. The channel switch SP4T (single pole 4 throw) with output to 4 channel LED’s and to diode’s to be converted to an inverted 4-Bit binary code. The binary code inverted is equal to the channel number. The binary code is decoded by the micro controller enabling the appropriate RX or TX frequency and associated data to be selected from the
EEPROM.
∙NOTE:It is possible any one of the 4 channel locations can be a scanning position. Refer to Operators Manual for further instructions.
