TM 11-5820-670-30
1-26. LOCAL OSCILLATOR MODULE A1500. (CONT)
TUNING CIRCUITS
The tuning circuits control the frequency of the oscillator. They contain resonant tank circuits with a
mechanical linkage from a variable inductor to the gear train which enables the radio set to tune to the
frequency set by the control unit automatically.
A dc error signal from the crs is applied to a varactor (variable capacitance diode) in the tuning
circuits to alter the tank capacitance, thereby changing the resonant frequency and operating
frequency of the oscillator. The dc error voltage from the crs keeps the oscillator running to within
3.5 kHz of the frequency selected on the tuning dials.
LOCAL OSCILLATOR Q1501
Q1501 is a pnp transistor designed into a modified colpitts configuration. Frequency tuning by the
tuning circuits enables the oscillator to operate within a range of 41.50 MHz through 64.45 MHz. The
oscillator applies the frequency to mixer module A1400.
For all frequency settings on the control unit in
band range, the local oscillator o crates 11.5
MHz above the selected frequency. For all frequency settings on the control unit in B band range,
the local oscillator operates 11.5 MHz below the selected frequency. For some examples, see the
following table.

BUFFER AMPLIFIER Q1502
Buffer amplifier Q1502 provides amplification, isolation, and impedance matching for the local
oscillator signal being applied to mixer V1401.
BUFFER AMPLIFIER Q1503
Buffer amplifier Q1503 provides amplification, isolation, and impedance matching for the Iocal
oscillator signal being applied to the crs. The Iocal oscillator applies a signal to the crs through buffer
amp Q1503 for the purpose of having a dc error voltage applied back to the local oscillator.
