How is the frequency displayed in different modes?

The displayed frequency in each mode is listed below:

Mode Display frequency
USB, LSB Carrier point frequency
CW Transmit carrier frequency
AM, FM IF filter center frequency

What is the timing sequence for transmit/receive switching after the standby switch is activated?

The timing after the standby switch is switched to transmit and until the system returns to the receive state is as follows:

1. When SS goes low, the microprocessor judges whether the frequency is transmittable or not. If so, the microprocessor switches CTX high 10ms after SS goes low.

2. Module unit (X59-3340-00) receives the CTX signal, and causes TXB and RL to go high.

3. CKY goes high 2ms after TXB goes high, CKB is driven to generate the keying voltage.

4. The transmit signal is emitted approximately 7ms after the CKB is actuated.

5. To return to receive, the transmit signal stops approximately 7ms after the SS line goes high, and TXB and RL return low, as RXB goes high.

6. The RB voltage used for turning on the receive signal line goes high 12ms after RXB goes high, and a signal is received.


What are the roles of the control signals in the Standby Control Circuit?

The role of each of these signals is described below:

SS: Reference signal to control each signal (standby switch, PTT switch, and key input)

CTX: Control signal from the microprocessor to generate TXB

RB: Control signal to mute the receive signal line

CKY: Control signal for keying

TXB: 8V line for the transmit circuits

RXB: 8V line for the receive circuits

RL: 13.8V line for the transmit circuits

CKB: 8V line for keying generated by CKY


How does manual keying operate in break-in mode?

When the standby switch is turned ON, the base of Q90 (2SA1162Y) goes low, and Q91 (DTC114EK) turns on. CSS goes low, and CTX from the microprocessor turns on Q4 (DTC114EK) of the module unit (X59-3340-00). RL is emitted from Q1 (2SA1204Y), and TXB is applied from Q2 (2SA1204Y). Microprocessor output CKY turns on Q5 (DTC114EK) of the module unit (X59-3360-00), causing the emitter of Q7 (DTC114TK) to go to ground. One end of the Q7 collector is connected to Q87 (2SA1162Y) of the signal unit (X57-3190-00), and the other is connected to the key jack from Q84 (DTC114EK) from the COM terminal via the break-in changeover switch.

Q87 (2SA1162Y) is turned on and produces the CKB voltage when the key is closed, and Q86 (3SK73GR) of the send IF amplifier is keyed.


How does semi-break-in keying operate?

CW8 is applied to the base of Q84 and Q99. Therefore, they are ready to turn on when the emitter is connected to ground.

When the key is closed, the SEM terminal of the module unit (X59-3360-00) is connected to ground through Q99 and Q84 keys.

Q6 and Q2 in the module unit turn on, and trigger one-shot multivibrator IC1 (MB74LS122). A pulse is output from pin 8 to turn Q1 on and connect the SS line to ground.

When the key is closed, the IC8 output pulse returns to a low level and the SS line goes high after a time constant determined by setting of the VOX delay control VR7 and C254.

The key line switches Q87 via the COM terminal at this same time, and keys Q86 in real time.


How does full break-in keying operate and how does it differ from manual keying?

The key connects to the SS line and has the same function as the standby switch. When the key is closed, Q84 turns on, the base of Q90 is connected to the ground, Q91 is turned on, and CSS is switched low. The TXB and RL voltages are generated by the CTX signal, and the CKB voltage is used to generate the CKY signal voltage just as in manual keying.

Full break-in is different from manual keying in that the base of Q87 is controlled directly by the key in manual keying. In full break-in Q87 is controlled via Q5 and Q7 of the module unit (X59-3360-00) by the CKY signal from the microprocessor by turning the SS line on and off.

The reason is that in full break-in, the timing the transmit signal is set so that the radio signal is transmitted after the control signal is completely switched and the transmit system becomes stable; control is passed to receive after the signal stops, a receive signal is output, and the receive system becomes stable.


At what temperatures do the cooling fan and temperature protection features activate?

The surface temperature of the radiator triggers the following:

Cooling fan start: 50 deg C

Cooling fan stop: 45 deg C

Temperature protection start: 80 deg C

Temperature protection stop: 70 deg C


What happens when the temperature protection circuit operates?

When the temperature protection operates, the ALC voltage and the power fall. The system does not return to the receive state automatically.


How much can the IF be shifted during SSB and CW receive?

IF shift allows a shift of ±1kHz or more during SSB and CW receive.


How can the carrier point be adjusted in SSB mode?

The carrier point can be finely adjusted in the SSB mode through a range of -400Hz to +375Hz.


What happens if a PLL loop becomes unlocked?

If any PLL loop becomes unlocked, pin 11 of IC1, IC4, IC14 and/or pin 7 of IC13 go low, and act as an OR circuit. These signals pass through switching transistors Q25 (DTA124ES) and Q26 (DTA124ES), and the “L” is sent to the digital control circuit.

At this point, the microprocessor will display the unlock status, and emits the SBK signal to stop the IF signal before the filter via Q29 (2SC2712Y), and the MUTE signal for stopping the audio signal via Q57 (2SC2712Y) before entering the volume control.

How is the RX section signal level measured?

For the RX section measurements:

Frequency: 14.200MHz

Input: 0dBµ

AF output: 0.63V/8Ω

Note 1: The SSG (Standard Signal Generator) signal of 14.200MHz/0dBµ is input from the ANT terminal, and the audio output of 0.63V/8Ω is obtained by adjusting the AF GAIN VR.

Note 2: The SSG signal levels at various points necessary to obtain the same audio output at this time with the AF GAIN VR at a fixed position are plotted. In FM mode, this signal level is used to obtain the same value as the S/N at time when 0dBµ is input.

Note 3: The SSG output is measured through a capacitor of 0.01µF.


What are the measurement conditions for the TX section signal levels?

For the TX section measurements:

Frequency: 14.200MHz

Note 1: The high-frequency part is measured with the RF V.M (RF Voltmeter) in the CW mode.

Note 2: The low-frequency part is measured with the AF V.M (AF Voltmeter) in the USB mode. The audio input voltage in the USB mode is the input for obtaining 1kHz single tone which reads almost the maximum value in the ALC zone, and that in the FM mode is the input for realizing the standard modulation (±3kHz DEV.).

Note 3: MIC VR is set to the maximum point.


What are the general preparation steps before performing adjustments?

Unless otherwise specified, set the controls as follows:

Control Setting Control Setting

Fig. 1 shows an example for 88.5Hz switch position where switches 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 are OFF (down) and switch 4 is ON (up).

How is the TU-8 Tone Unit adjusted?

Deviation adjustment:

The TU-8 has been preset at factory for ±600Hz. The deviation is adjusted by with VR1 to Max. ±2kHz with the deviation potentiometer full clockwise when the TU-8 is installed on the TS-140S/680S.

Tone-burst or continuous tone selection:

A switch (S1) is provided to allow selection of either the tone-burst or continuous tone mode. The burst duration can be adjusted by with VR2.

*1 Tone-burst mode (Switch S1 to B – IC1 side): A tone will be generated for a brief period at the beginning of each transmission.

*2 Continuous-tone mode (Switch S1 to C – IC2 side): A tone will be generated as long as the PTT switch is depressed. Since the tone is adjusted for a sub-audible level, this should not interfere with normal communications.

Burst time adjustment (Fig. 3):

The burst time can be adjusted using VR2 according to Table 2.

Table 2 (Burst Time Adjustment via VR2)

VR2 Position (Clock Face) TIME
9:00Approx. 0.5 sec.
12:00Approx. 2 sec.
13:30Approx. 3.5 sec.
15:00Continuous-tone
