Revision as of 00:02, 29 November 2015

This page covers the Range 1 to Range 4 receivers. The Range 0 is a newer (and easier to modify) design.

Basics

The basic receiver is pictured below. Note the UHF R1-R4 receivers have a preselector that's flush with the front panel and only 3 adjustment. This is a dead give away that you have a UHF R1-R4 from the front. Unfortunately there is not an easy way to identify it further than by part number.

The receiver is a high side injection with the 1st Lo operating +73.35 MHz higher than the receiver frequency.

The SCM knows what type of module is inserted by reading voltage divider resistors on the u2600 A/D Converter. Some of these are on ports used for other things, Change Frequency and Lock and then A8 input is used for ID. Note the resistors have the same labels on the UHF boards but on other bands the same parts have different labels. The R2606 and R2607 form a voltage divider feeding the A8 input with the computed voltage in volts.

Range R2449 Chg Freq R2450 Lock SPACE R2606 R2607 A8 Volts
UHF R0 0 3300 5600 3300 1.9
UHF R1 0 0 1200 1200 2.5
UHF R2 0 3300 1200 1200 2.5
UHF R3 3300 0 1200 1200 2.5
UHF R4 3300 3300 1200 1200 2.5
VHF R2413 R2415 R2812 R2814
VHF R1 0 0 2700 1200 1.5
VHF R2 0 3300 2700 1200 1.5
800/900 R2422 R2414 R2816 R2815
900 0 0 1200 4700 4.0
800 0 0 1200 2700 3.5
