Chapter 3 Controller Theory of Operation
3.1 Controller
The controller provides the following functions:
• interface with controls and indicators
• serial bus control of major radio circuit blocks
• encoding and/or decoding of selective signaling formats such as PL, DPL, MDC1200 and Quik-
Call II
• interface to CPS programming via the microphone connector
• storage of customer-specific information such as channel frequencies, scan lists, and signaling 
codes
• storage of factory tuning parameters such as...

3.1.1.1  Memory Usage
Radio operation is controlled by software that is stored in external Flash ROM memory (U404).  
Radio parameters and customer specific information is stored in external EEPROM (U402). The 
operating status of the radio is maintained in RAM located within the microprocessor. When the radio 
is turned off, the operating status of the radio is written to EEPROM before operating voltage is 
removed from the...

Controller Theory of Operation: Controller3-3
In order for each circuit block to respond only to the data intended for it, each peripheral has its own 
chip select (or chip enable) line. The device will only respond to data when its enable line is pulled 
low by one of the microprocessor ports, as follows:
• port PD5 (U401 pin 2) for the audio filter IC
• port PH0 (U401 pin 47) for the synthesizer IC
• port PD6 (U401 pin 3) for the serial EEPROM.

3-4Controller Theory of Operation: Controller
The microprocessor reset line (pin 94) can be controlled directly by the digital 3.3 V regulator (U320 
pin 7), the microphone jack (part of accessory connector J471) via Q472 and Q471, and the 
microprocessor itself. U320 pulls the reset line low if the digital 3.3 V source loses regulation. This 
prevents possible MOS latch-up or overwriting of registers in the microprocessor because the reset 
line is higher in voltage than the...

• 2.5 volt dc reference source
• Microprocessor clock generation (from the 16.8 MHz reference oscillator input)
The parameters of U451 that are programmable are selected by the microprocessor via the CLOCK 
(U451 pin 21), DATA (U451 pin 22) and chip enable (U451 pin 20) lines.
RX audio buffer U510 amplifies the audio level from the DEMOD output of the IFIC before being 
applied to the audio filter IC input (DISC, U451 pin 2). The buffer...

3.1.2.4  PTT Circuits
The internal side-mounted PTT switch (S441) is sensed directly by microprocessor port PJ0 (U401 
pin 71).  External mic PTT is sensed by measuring the current drawn through the accessory 
connector (J471-4) by the mic cartridge (which is in series with the accessory PTT switch). This 
current is drawn through the base (pin 5) and emitter (pin 4) of a transistor in Q470, causing its 
collector (pin 3) to supply a...

Chapter 4 136-162 MHz VHF Theory Of Operation
4.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio components. Schematic diagrams 
for the circuits described in the following paragraphs are located in Chapter 7 of this manual.
4.2 VHF Receiver
The VHF receiver covers the range of 136-162 MHz and provides switchable IF bandwidth for use 
with 12.5 kHz or 20/25 kHz channel spacing systems. The receiver is divided into two major blocks as 
shown in Figure 4-1.

constant at 6.2 mA regardless of device and temperature variations, for optimum dynamic range and 
noise figure.
The output of the RF amplifier is applied to the interstage filter, a fixed-tuned 3-pole series-coupled 
resonator design having a 3 dB bandwidth of 54 MHz and insertion loss of 1.8 dB. This filter has an 
image rejection of 40 dB at 226 MHz, with increasing attenuation at higher frequencies.
The output of the...

4.3 VHF Transmitter
The VHF transmitter covers the range of 136-162 MHz. Depending on model, the output power of the 
transmitter is either switchable on a per-channel basis between high power (5 watts) and low power 
(1 watt), or is factory preset to 2 watts. The transmitter is divided into four major blocks as shown in 
Figure 4-2.
• Power Amplifier
• Harmonic Filter
• Antenna Matching Network
• Power Control

4.3.4 Antenna Matching Network
The harmonic filter presents a 50 Ω impedance to antenna jack J140. A matching network, made up 
of C140-C141 and L140, is used to match the antenna impedance to the harmonic filter. This 
optimizes the performance of the transmitter and receiver into the impedance presented by the 
antenna, significantly improving the antennas efficiency.
4.3.5 Power Control
