Chapter 1
THEORY OF OPERATION
1.0 Overview
This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the controller circuits in the radio. The
components of these circuits are contained on the Main Board. Refer to the RF sections of this
manual for the component location details and the parts lists of the Controller Circuits.
2.0 Radio Power Distribution
Figure 1-1 illustrates the DC distribution throughout the radio board.
Battery voltage enters at connector J301 and is routed through fuse F301 to become USWB+.
VR301 protects against ESD, and D301 provides reverse polarity protection. This voltage is routed
to:
■ FET switch Q170 in the TX power control circuit (turned on during transmit)
■ TX power amplifier module U110 (via R150)
■ input pins of regulators U310, U320 and U330
■ FET switch Q493 (turned on whenever the radio is on)
■ on-off switch S444 (part of on-off-volume control) to become SWB+
