TEMP Signal
T-CPU board receives TEMP signal from REF OSC board to detect the oven
temperature. When the temperature lowers to the designed one, no transmission is
made, because the frequency deviates more than +10 Hz. The message, “OVEN COLD
/TX NOT READY: WAIT” appears.
- Page 18 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
The PLL circuit includes four oscillation coils, T11, T12, T13 and T14 for 30 MHz
frequency range. These coils are selected depending on frequency setting. Each
oscillation circuit is used in lower and upper bands.
- Page 19 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
Main CPU on T-CPU board sends DSC and NBDP messages to DSP for AFSK (Audio
Frequency Shift Keying) modulation or to generate 1700 Hz+85 Hz signal. The
modulated DSC and NBDP signal is supplied to TX/RX board. For reception, the signal
flows in reverse.
The AF signal or LINE IN and LINE OUT signals to and from TX/RX board is –10
dBm/600 Ω.

Check signal
TX OUT CHK signal is sent to T-CPU board. With the absence of TX OUT CHK signal,
“RF” line in TX self-test result display is NG. TX AF CHK signal is not used.
BPF2 tunes the signal at frequency bands tabulated in Table 6.2.3.1-10. CR7 and CR8
is a receiver protector which protects receiver front-end circuits from damage when an
input signal of 15 Vp-p or more is present. C23 and L7 is a 72.455 kHz trap circuit which
allows IF signal not to leak from the antenna.

TEMP Signal
The thermistor RT1 detects the PA temperature. Data is not used.
DA ON Signal
DA ON signal switches on/off the bias circuit on DRV board.
- Page 25 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
VC and IC Signals
PA collector voltage (VC) is adjusted by R26. The VC detector consisting of U4, Q8 and
Q9 detects the voltage and sends it to TX FIL board. VC is displayed numerically in
Power SET UP menu. PA collector current (IC) is adjusted by R33. The current is
detected by R21 and R22 and displayed in Power SETUP menu, as “IC”.
Note that VC is displayed in PA-1 board detected value, IC is displayed in PA-1 IC and
PA-2 IC board detected.
Note that the detected VC value on PA-1 board is indicated in the display, the sum of
both collector currents is indicated as IC in the display.
TEMP Signal
The thermistor RT1 detects the temperature of power amplifier. When the temperature
increases up to about 80°C, ”TX POW REDUCED MAIN AMP HEATED” appears and
the power is reduced automatically.
PA ON Signal
PA ON signal switches on/off the bias circuit on PA board.

Receiving circuit
The signal received by the antenna is delivered to TX ANT connector via the antenna
coupler, and then PRESEL board from RX ANT connector via 50 ohm BK relay, K15.
When DSC general frequency receiver board uses the TX/RX antenna, JP2 is set to
“open” and JP1 to “short”.
The received signal is amplified by Q3 and Q4, and applied to DIV OUT 1 and DIV OUT
2 ports via T3 and T4. The OUT 1 and OUT 2 are connected to PRESEL and W/R 2
boards respectively. The signal at DIV OUT ports is 3 dB or more higher than RX OUT
port.

PLL circuit
The PLL circuit consisting of DDS and PLL, operates with the reference signal of 18
MHz from REF OSC board.
The PLL oscillates at the frequency range from 56.0615 to 81.955 MHz, using four
oscillation coils, T501 to T504. The oscillation frequency depends on the frequency
setting. BAND H/C signal selects the VCO circuit for the lower or higher frequency
range in each band.
- Page 30 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
Receiver circuit
The receiver is protected by an arrester, CR4 and CR5 from 30 Vrms signal being
applied for more than 15 minutes.
When the preamplifier FAX-5 is used, jumper block J3 is put between #1 and #2 to
supply +12V to the preamplifier.
INST Signal
The T-CPU recognizes the presence of the W/R 2 board by receiving INST signal. Table
5.6.1 lists DSC operation with and without W/R 2 board.
W/R 2 INST signal DSC scan DSC ACK reception DSC self-test result display
Mounted Yes W/R2 board W/R2 board RECV-2: OK/NG
Not mounted No TX/RX board TX/RX board Blank
Self test
18 MHz test signal, modulated by mark and space signals, is applied to ANT IN line. The
stray capacitance between patterns on the board couples the test signal. The level is
equal to SSG output of 70 to 80 dBuV. The receiver on DSC DSP board is also tested by
this signal.

Note
The control unit provides two handset connection ports, [HANDSET]: HS2001 and
[HANDSET/MIC]: HSC-701K-20B. Do not use these ports at a time. Hook and PTT lines
on two handsets are connected in parallel.
- Page 34 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
HOOK signal
OFF HOOK signal is generated when the handset is off-hook. With OFF HOOK signal;
1) DSC AUTO ACK function does not work.
2) “Occupied Another Controller” message appears on the other control unit. No.1
control unit can be used with this message, but No.2 control unit cannot.
KEY signal
Not used.
(3) Handset
The standard handset for FS-2570 is a condenser microphone HS-2001 with
amplifiers which amplify –43 dBm/2 kΩ signal to –10 dBm/600 Ω. SP signal of –10
dBm/600 Ω is also amplified to 2.5 mW/150 Ω.
Hall IC, U5 detects Hook signal.

TROUGH signal
“Through signal” is used to decide whether the receiving signal bypasses the antenna
matching circuit or not.
When COUPLER THROU in the RT system setting menu is set to “DIFF”, and the
transmission frequency and the receiving frequency are different, the receiving signal
bypasses the tuning circuit;
Generally, when the transmission frequency and the receiving frequency are different,
the receiving signal does not pass through the matching circuit so that the signal is not
attenuated.
- Page 37 of 48 -
FURUNO SSB RADIOTELEPHONE FS-2570
Matching circuit
The following signals control the antenna matching circuit. Either gamma or pi matching
circuit is selected.
The maximum inductance of the matching circuit is about 50 uH. To tune 2 MHz baud
signal to about 7m antenna, most coils in the matching circuit are used. C171 and C172
are used when the antenna capacitance is 40 pF or less and when the supplied voltage
to the antenna is 6 kV or more.
