User Safety Information
The following precautions are recommended for personnel safety: DO NOT transmit until all RF connectors are verified secure and any open connectors are properly terminated. SHUT OFF and do not operate this equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. When in vehicles with an airbag, do not place a portable radio in the area over an airbag or in the airbag deployment area. Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight for a long time nor place it close to a heating source. Do not use any portable radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn may result. When transmitting with a portable radio, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone about 5 centimeters away from your mouth. If you wear a portable radio on your body, be sure to keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters away from your head or body when transmitting. This equipment should be serviced by qualified technicians only.

Radio Modes User Mode: User mode is conventional communication mode. Turn the power on while disconnecting the two SELF points, the radio enters user mode. (Refer to “TC-500 Owner’s Manual” for details about operation in this mode.)
2.
Model Set Mode
(1) If the radio is standard model, short out the two MS2 points on PCB and then operate following the steps (3) (5) and (6). If the radio is non-standard model, please disconnect the two MS2 points on PCB and then operate the following steps. (2) To select MS1 (See the initial data table) according to the radio model, if MS1 is 1, short out the two MS1 points on PCB and continue the following operation. If not, disconnect the two MS1 points and continue. (3) Short out the two SELF points on PCB and then turn the power on. Two beeps sound. (4) Turn channel selector knob to the corresponding position (1-11) according to the radio model (Refer to the initial data table). (5) Press PTT key while holding down MONI key to set the model. Channel data and settings are initialized (Refer to the initial data table). (6) Turn off the power and then disconnect the two SELF points on PCB to complete the model setting. For example, MS1 of TC-500-U (450.000~469.995MHz) is 0 (See the initial data table). Its number is 7. It is unnecessary to short out MS1 and MS2. To initialize its model and channel data, you can operate as following: (1) Short out the two SELF points on PCB; (2) Turn on the power and turn the channel selector knob to the position 7; -5-
TC-500 Software Specification (3) Press PTT key while holding down MONI key; (4) After data reset, turn off the power, disconnect the two SELF points and restart the power to use the radio. Remarks: The old data (frequency, CTCSS/CDCSS, channel function settings) will be changed once the model is set, and part of functions will also be changed. Therefore, do not make this operation unless it’s very necessary, such as changing the EEPROM, etc.

TC-500 Circuit Description
Circuit Description 1.
Frequency Configuration The receiver utilizes double conversion superheterodyne. The first IF is 21.4MHz and the second is 455KHz. The first local oscillator signal is supplied from PLL circuit. Frequency needed in the transmitter is supplied from PLL circuit. Figure 1 shows the frequency configuration. Frequency Range: 400 MHz—420MHz 450 MHz—470MHz 136 MHz—150MHz 150 MHz—174MHz
Figure 1 frequency configuration
2.
Receiver The receiver utilizes double conversion superheterodyne. 1) Front-end RF Amplifier The input signal from antenna is amplified in RF amplifier (Q27) after passing through the receive/transmit switch circuit and a 3-stage LC band pass filter. The amplified signals are filtered by a band pass filter (a 3-stage LC BPF) to eliminate unwanted signals before they goes to the first frequency mixer.
Figure 2 receiver section configuration
-9-
TC-500 Circuit Description 2) The First Mixer The signal from RF amplifier is mixed with the first local oscillator signal from PLL frequency synthesizer in the first mixer (Q23) to generate a 21.4MHz first IF signal. The first IF signal is then fed through two monolithic crystal filters (XF1) to remove spurious signals from adjacent channels. 3) IF Amplifier The first IF signal is amplified in Q22 and then enters the IF process chip IC1. The signal is mixed with the second local oscillator signal in IC1 to create a 455KHz second IF signal. The second IF signal is then fed to a 455KHz ceramics filter (CF1) to eliminate unwanted signals before it is amplified and FM detected in IC1. 4) AF Amplifier The demodulated AF signal obtained from IC1 is amplified in IC7 (1/4), and then filtered by low pass filter Q19 and high pass filter Q20, and then de-emphasized by R130 and C156. The resulting AF signal passes through a volume control circuit and then is amplified to a sufficient level to drive the speaker by AF power amplifier (IC8). 5) Squelch Part of the AF signal from IC1 enters IC1 again, and the noise component is amplified and rectified by a filter and an amplifier to produce a DC voltage corresponding to the noise level. The DC signal from IC1 goes to the analog port of the microprocessor (IC11). IC11 determines whether to output sounds from the speaker by detecting whether the input voltage is higher or lower than preset value. To output sounds from the speaker, IC11 sends a high level signal to the MUTE and AFCO lines and turns IC8 on through Q12. FM IF IC1

TC-500 Circuit Description
6) Receive signaling CTCSS/CDCSS Audio frequencies over 300Hz of the output signal from IC1 is cut off by a low-pass filter. The resulting signal enters the microprocessor IC11. IC11 determines whether the CTCSS/CDCSS matches the preset value and controls the MUTE and AFCO and the speaker sound output according to the squelch results. 3.
PLL Frequency Synthesizer PLL circuit generates the first local oscillator signal for reception and the RF signal for transmission. 1) PLL Circuit The step frequency of PLL circuit is 2.5KHz or 6.25 KHz. A12.8MHz reference oscillator signal is divided at IC2 by a fixed counter to produce a 2.5 KHz or 6.25 KHz reference frequency. Output signal from voltage control oscillator (VCO) passes through buffer amplifier Q14 and is divided at IC2 by the dual-module programmable counter. The divided signal is compared in the phase comparator IC2 with the 2.5 KHz or 6.25 KHz reference signal. The output signal from phase comparator is filtered through a low-pass filter and passed to the VCO to control the oscillator frequency. (See figure 4)
Figure 4 PLL circuit 2) VCO The operating frequency is generated by Q16 in transmit mode and by Q8 in receive mode. The operation frequency generates a voltage through the phase comparator to control the varactor diodes, so as to keep the oscillator frequency consistent with the preset frequency in CPU (D2 and D3 in transmit mode and D7 and D8 in receive mode). T/R pin is set high in receive mode causing Q6 to turn off Q16 and turn Q7 on. The T/R pin is set low in transmit mode. The output from Q8 and Q16 is amplified by Q14 and sent to the buffer amplifier.

Transmitter 1) Transmit audio The audio signal from microphone is amplified through IC3, and then pre-emphasized , and then filtered by another low-pass filter separate filter (Q25 and Q24) to eliminate the frequencies over 3KHz. The resulting signal enters the VCO for direct FM modulation. (See figure 5) 2) CTCSS/CDCSS Encoder The necessary frequency for CTCSS/CDCSS encoder is generated by IC11 and FM-modulated to the PLL reference signal. Since the reference OSC does not modulate the loop characteristic frequency or higher, modulation is performed at the VCO side by splitter. (See figure 5)
Figure 5 transmit CTCSS 3)
RF amplifier The transmit signal obtained from VCO buffer amplifier Q14 is amplified by Q15 and Q17. This amplified signal is passed to power amplifier Q32 and Q31, and is capable of producing a 4.0W RF power. 4) Antenna Switch and LPF The RF amplifier output signal is passed through a low-pass filter network and a transmit/receive switch circuit before it is passed to the antenna terminal. The transmit/receive switch circuit is comprised of D11 and D12. D11 and D12 is turned on in transmit mode and off in receive mode. 5. Power The 5V reference power supply for the control circuit is derived from an internal battery. The reference power provides a 5V supply in transmit mode [T_V], a 5V supply in receive mode [R_V], and a 5V supply shared in both modes based the control signal from the microprocessor. 6. Control System The IC11 CPU operates at 7.3728MHz.

TC-500 Adjustment Description
Adjustment Description The radio can be adjusted with PC programming software or by manual adjustment. Manual adjustment procedure of TC-500 is as follow. (Refer to “model set mode” and “manual adjust mode” in the section Software Specification.) Instrument: Radio Communication Test Set 1 set Scanner 1 set 3A/10V Power Supply 1 set Digital Voltmeter 1 set 3A Ammeter 1 set
Adjustment: 1. Initializing: It’s necessary to set the model and initialize the radio before alignment because there is no needed information in EEPROM when the radio is manufactured. Please refer to the “model set mode” in the section Software Specification for details. 2. Adjustment: Some items can be adjusted in conventional communication mode and the others in manual adjust mode. Turn on the power, the radio enters conventional communication mode. If manual adjust mode is enabled, turn on the power while holding down PTT and MONI simultaneously, the radio enters manual adjust mode after 2 seconds. (Refer to the section Software Specification.)
