CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

- m tom-1d

The receive! homend consists ola mstaga hgno band
pass filter. an RF amplifier con-prismg Saks PH 0401
(38K184) threestage band pass filler tuned Mm variable
capacity, and a mm 0402 (39(131(M))am an IF amplifier
ounslstol HIST 0403 (29(210(GR))

The gain is commlled by applying the ABC voltage In the
second gate of 0401 When he AlP slgnal ls on. 0404
(DTC11-zEK) turns on, deems-n9 the AGC voltage and so
reducmg the gain of 0401 to produce the AIP ellem
