3-2 Basic Theory of Operation: Major Assemblies
3.1 Major Assemblies
The ASTRO APX1000 radio includes the following major assemblies (See Figure 3-1.):
• Main Board – Contains all transmit, receive, and frequency generation circuitry, including the
digital receiver back-end IC and the reference oscillator. The main board also contains a dual
core processor, which includes both the microcontroller unit (MCU) and a digital signal
processor (DSP) core, the processors's memory devices, an audio and power supply support
integrated circuit (IC), a digital support IC, external power amplifier as well as combination
Global Positioning System (GPS) and Bluetooth 2.1 IC and front end circuitry.
• Keypad Board – Contains a Type III secure IC, Bluetooth controller (AVR IC) and a 3-axes
digital accelerometer.
• Control Top – Contains a Multi-Function knob, a push button switch used for Emergency call
and a light bar. The control top also includes TX/RX LED that is solid amber upon receive, red
on PTT, and blinks amber on secure TX/RX.
• Main Display – 160 pixels x 90 pixels, transflective color LCD.
