Output (Matched Pair) GENERAL DESCRIPTION ‘The circuit used in these pocket-portable radios incorporates 6 transistors, 1 diode and 1 thermistor located on a printed circuit board with newly developed printed resistors, Signal picked up by a ferrite bar antenna is fed to converter and then is amplified through 2 IF stages, and is detected. ‘The signal then passes through the 3 transistor audio amplifier circuit ‘An AGC voltage is fed back to 1st IF amplifier. CHASSIS REMOVAL . Remove the battery cover and batteries. . Push up the bottom of the back cover and separate it from the cabinet. Remove the 3 screws located on the printed circuit board, Carefully pull the chassis from the cabinet.
