is compared with voltage from IC8 pin 6 (5

.
When SWR increases,
VSF
lowers and the voltage leve

of IC8 pin 8 rises
. At IC7 pin 3, a triangular wave is moni

tored
. The triangular wave is compared with the wav

from IC8 pin 8 and output
. The triangular wave is con-
verted to a square wave by IC10 and sent to switch Q

and Q4
. This voltage is used as the SWR control voltage
.
Output voltage from IC8 pin 2 consists of the voltage com

When the standby switch, the key, or the VOX switchin
g
transistor are activated, a ground is applied to the input pi
n
of the control circuit, which causes a standby signal to b
e
fed to the microprocessor to determine if a valid transmit con
-
dition has been met
. When that condition has been met, th

standby circuit in the IF unit will be turned on
.
A keying signal is generated by the control circuit, wheneve
r
the key is depressed, to control the keying circuits in the I
F
unit
. This keying signal is also used as the transmit/receiv
e
signal during break-in operations
