1-9. Gener al In for ma t ion
The radio set contains eight plug-in modules which pro-vide all the circuitry necessary for receive and transmitoperation. These operations can be broken down intotwo basic functions, described below.
1-10. Receiver Op r at ion ( fig. 1-3)
When the radio set is turned on (PWR OFF/ON/SQUELCH DIS switch in the ON position), the unit isin the receive mode (squelch is on, no receiver noise pre-sent). Signals entering the antenna are routed throughthe antenna coupler to the converter stage. The frequen-cy synthesizer and voltage controlled oscillator (vco)
provide a mixer frequency for the coverter stage. This
mixer signal is determined by the setting of the frequen-cy select switches (three located on the synthesizermodule and one located on the top panel of the radioset). After the incoming signal is converted to a 12.0MHz s ignal, it is routed to th e filter /i-f module foramplification and a second conversion to 6.5 MHz andthen to the i-f/a-f module. The intermediate frequencyan d a udio frequ ency (i-f/a-f) module det ects an damplifies the signal and connects it to the built-inspeaker/microphone or external handset.
1 -1 1. T r a n s m i t t e r O p e r a t i o n (fig.1-4 )
When the radio set is in the transmit mode (unit turned
on and PUSH TO TALK switch depressed), the speaker/
microphone is used as a microphone to apply a voice
signal to the modulator/mixer. Here the signal is fre-
quency modulated on a carrier singal determined by the
synthesizer and voltage controlled oscillator (controlled
by the frequency select switches). The output of the
modulator/mixer goes to the transmitter module where
it is amplified to 1 watt minimum. The antenna coupler
matches the t ransmitter circuit impedance to the ant en-
na (long or sh ort) for maximum power t ran sfer.
1-12. Secu r e Voice Ope r a t ion
Secure voice operation may be utilized on the radio set
by connecting the secure voice module (svm) to the bot-tom of the rt unit. The battery case and battery must be
removed first. The svm connector (located next to the
battery connector) has a small black shorting plug in-stalled. This plug must be removed to install the svm inits place. If the radio set is not being used with securevoice equipment, the shorting plug must be installed in
the svm connector for normal set operation. The re-tainer (attached to SVM plug) must be wrapped around
the connector before installation of plug to preventdamage to retainer line.

The ten position (0 through 9) CHAN switch on the
front panel provides ten preset sequent ial channels spac-
ed 200 kHz apart over a 2 MHz bandwidth. Any portion
of the 30.00 MHz to 79.95 MHz range can be selected by
changing the three switches (A, B, and D) on the syn-
thesizer module and the CHAN switch on the top panel
of the radio set. (Refer to table 2-1 or table 2-2 for fre-
quencies and their respective switch settings). Whenever
the frequency of a radio set is changed (excluding the
ten preset channels), the transmitter module and anten-
na coupler module must be realigned to ensure proper
matching and maximum power transfer of the radio set
to the antenna.
a. Changing Frequency. To change the frequency
of the radio set, perform the following:
(1) Disassemble unit (para 2-5).

Sect ion I I I . PR EVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CH ECKS AND SER VICES (P MCS)
2-8. Genera l
To insure that the radio set is always ready for opera-
tion, it must be inspected systematically so that defects
may be discovered and corrected before they result in
serious damage or failure. Organizational preventive
maintenance procedures are designed to help maintain
equipment in serviceable condition. They include what
items should be checked and how to check them. These
checks and services are to be made at specific (W) week-
ly, (M) monthly, (Q) quarterly, (S) semiannually, and
(A) annual intervals.
2-9. P MCS Ta ble
Table 2-3 des cr ibes the o rgan iza t iona l p reven t ive
maintenance checks and services for the radio set.
Routine checks like CLEANING, DUSTING, WASH-
ING, CHECKING FOR FRAYED CABLES, STOW-
ING ITEMS NOT IN USE, COVERING UNUSED
R E C E P T A C L E S A N D C H E C K I N G F O R L O O S E
NUTS AND BOLTS are not listed as PMCS checks.
They are th ings that you should do anytime you see th ey
must be done. If you find a routine check like one of
those listed, in your PMCS, it was listed because other
operators reported problems with this item.
WHEN YOU ARE DOING ANY PMCS OR
ROUTINE CH ECKS, KEEP IN MIND THE
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
W ARNING
Adequate ventilation should be provided while
us ing TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE.
Prolonged breathing of vapor should be avoid-
ed. The solvent should not be used near heat or
open flames; the products of decomposition
are toxic and irritating. Since TRICHLORO-
TRIFLUOROETHANE dissolves natural oils,
prolonged contact with skin should be avoid-
ed. When necessary, use gloves which the sol-
vent cannot penetrate. If the solvent is taken
internally, consult a physician immediately.
Compressed air is dangerous and can cause
serious bodily harm if protective means or
methods are not observed to prevent a chip or
par ticle (of wha tever size) from being blown into
the eyes or unbroken skin of the operator or
other personnel. Compressed air shall not be
used for cleaning purposes except where reduc-
ed to less than 30 p.s.i.g. and then only with
effective chip guarding and personel protective
equipment. Do no use compressed air to dry
parts when trichlorotrifluoroethan has been
used.

c. Always inspect frame sockets for damage before
inserting a module. .4 normal socket should have four
spring leafs visible. If a spring leaf is pushed over to the
wrong side of a socket, it can be pushed back into place
with a sha rp point ed tool (pin, needle, scribe, etc.). If
the leaf breaks off or is smashed into the bottom of the
socket, the socket should be replaced if possible.
However, the socket will still make good contack with

Sec t ion IV . P RINCIP LES OF OPE RATION
3-16. Receive Opera t ion
Radio Set AN/PRC-68 consists of eight plug-in
modules, a frame assembly, and battery assembly. Prin-
ciples of operation of the radio set is limited to descrip-tion of the modules and their interfacing with each
other. Refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2 for module loca-
tions.

Circuit fu nctionin g of th e ra dio set (fig. FO-1) can be
broken down into modules that comprise separate func-
tions (receive and transmit) and modules that are used
for both functions (synthesizer and voltage controlled
oscillator). The battery saver circuitry, tone tuning, and
150 Hz squelch tone signal are also discussed.
The receiver is packaged in three modules. These
modules are:
a. Converter Module (1A6). The convertermodule consists of two bandswitched, varactor-tuned rfamplifiers an d th e receiver 1st mixer which converts t he
operatin g frequency to th e first i-f of 12 MH z. The low-
band rf amplifier tun es the frequency range from 30 t o
54 MHz while the high-band tu nes 54 to 80 MHz. The
settings of the frequency select switches (A, B, and D,
on synthesizer module, and preset CHAN switch) deter-
mine the operating frequency of the rf amplifier and the
local oscillator injection frequency to the first mixer.
This injection signal is provided by the voltage controll-
ed oscillator (VC O) module. For the low-band (30 to 54

MHz), it is 12.000 MHz above th e rf input frequencies;
for the high-band (54 to 80 MHz), it is 12.000 MHz
below the rf input frequencies.
b. Filter/ I-f Modu le (1A3). The filter/i-f modulecont ains a 12 MH z crysta l filter, 12 MHz if amplifier,
18.5 MHz crystal oscillator, and a 6.5 mixer/amplifier
(2nd mixer), The output of the second mixer (6.5 MHz)
is the difference of the 12.0 MHz input and 18.5 MHzinput from the crystal oscillator.
c. I-f/ A-f Module (1A2). The i-f/a-f modulecont ains a 6.5 MH z i-f amp lifier/discriminat or, squelch
circuits, a udio amp lifier, an d a low-pass filter. Oth er
functions contained within the module are a tone tuner
circuit and battery saver switch. The input signal to the
if/a-f module is th e 6.5 MHz frequ ency modulat ed sig-
na l from t he filter/i-f module. The signal is det ected
and routed th rough the low-pass filter to th e audio
amplifier. When a handset of other audio accessory is
conn ected t o the AUDIO connector of the r adio set, the
speaker mute circuit electronically switches off the
audio signal to the speaker and routes it to the handset.
The squelch threshold is adjusted by a potentiometer
located in the module. The squelch circuit is normally
on when the radio set is turned on. However, squelch
can be disabled by turning the function switch to the
SQUELCH DIS position.
3-17. Tra nsm i t Oper a t ion
The transmit ter is packaged in three modules. These
modules are:
a. Modu lator/ Mixer Module (1A8). The modulator/mixer module conta ins a speech amplifier a nd filter, 150
Hz (squelch tone) buffer, 12 MHz deviation oscillator rf
mixer, and two bandswitched, varactor-tuned rf pream-plifiers. The sp eech am plifier increases th e level of the
microphone signal sufficiently for clipping action. The
output of the amplifier passes through a low-pass filter
before it is superimposed upon a 12 MHz deviation os-
cillator. The 150 Hz squelch tone from the synthesizer
is also routed to the deviation oscillator after passing
through a buffer and the speech filter network. The fre-
quency modulated output of the oscillator is combinedin a varactor-tuned mixer stage with the frequency syn-
thesizer output signals to create th e desired rf outpu t
frequency. The rf output is amplified by two bandswit-
ched, varactor-tuned rf preamplifiers. For frequencies
in the low-band (30 to 54 MHz), the output frequency is12.000 MHz below the synthesizer frequency; and for
the high-band (54 to 80 MHz), the output frequency is
12.000 MHz above the synthesizer frequency.
b. Transmitter Module (1A4).. The transmittermodule contains an rf preamplifier, driver, final power
amplifier and low-pass band filters. The output from
the modulator is applied to the preamplifier for ampli-
fication to approximately 1 vrms. The output of the
driver stage is approximately 100 mw. This stage has a
tuned circuit which tunes the output of the transmiter.
Tuning is accomplished by using the built-in tone tuner
and adjusting C1 on t he module. The tone tun er cir-
cuitry is located in the i-f/a-f module and converts the
variation in the collector currents of the transmitter
stages to a tone frequency when the tone tu ner but ton(located on the side of the frame assembly) is depressed.
The fina l out put (approximately 1.5 watt s) is routed
through one of four band-selected low-pass harmonic
filters to the antenna coupler (1A5).
c.Antenna Coupler Module (1A5). The antennacoupler module contains the rf transmit/receive diode
switching circuits and the antenna matching circuit. Pin
diodes in the module provide transmit/receive switching
functions to the antenna matching network. These di-
odes also isolate the transmit/receive circuitry to pre-
vent the transmitted signal from entering the receiver in-
put. The antenna matching network provides an imped-
ance match between the antenna and transmitter circuits
(between 50 ohms an d 100 ohms). The ma tching ran ge is
determined by the position (1 through 4) of the rotary
switch located on the module (set the same as the A
switch on the synthesizer). Optimum tuning is ac-
complished by using the field strength meter on the test
set and adjusting L1 on the coupler module (tune for
maximum indication).

1A8)
The radio set frequency synthesizer consists of the vco
module (1A7) and the synthesizer module ( 1A9). Thefuncton of the frequency synthesizer is to generate the
required mixer injection frequency and tuning voltage
for the converter and modulator modules when a given
operating frequency is selected. The frequency syn-
thesizer also determines which band (low or high) is ac-
tive depending upon selection of the operating frequen-
cy.
a. The frequency range of the synthesizer is from
42.000 MHz to 67.950 MHz which corresponds with a
generated tuning voltage range from 2.0 vdc to 11.0 vdc
respectively. The frequency synthesizer is programmable
in 50 kHz steps with the frequency select (A, B. and D)
switches on the synthesizer module and the CHAN (C)switch on the panel of the radio set.
b. The frequency range of the synthesizer isgenerated twice to provide low-band radio set operation
from 30,000 MHz to 53.950 MHz (positions 1 and 2 of
the A switch), and high-band radio set operation from
54.000 MHz to 79.950 MHz (positions 3 an d 4 of the A

switch). The two bands are required to cover the 30 to
80 MHz ran ge of the radio set with vara ctor t uning.
c. The basic purpose of the frequency synthesizer is
to generate the discrete channel frequencies with an ac-
curacy of 25 ppm. This is accomplished by phase lock-
ing a voltage controlled oscillator (VC O) to a standard
crystal controlled reference frequency. The reference
frequency of the synthesizer is 12.5 kHz crystal oscilla-tor by a factor of 800, or dividing the output of the 12.5
MHz crystal oscillator by a factor of 1000. The division
factor is determined by the position of the A switch. The
reference divider ( K) consists of an injection locked
oscillator which divides by 4 (10 MHz) or 5 (12.5 MHz),
an d a fixed divide r at io (200) digital coun ter. Th e 12.5kHz outpu t of the reference divider is r out ed to th e
phase comparator (detector).
d. To achieve pha se locking, th e outpu t of the vco(42 to 68 MHz) must be frequency translated and divid-
ed douwn to 12.5 kHz for phase comparison with the 12.
5 kHz reference frequency. Because the vco must pro-
vide 520 discrete frequencies spaced 50 kHz apart, avariable frequency divider is r equired t o divide each one
of these discrete frequencies down to 12.5 kHz. The
variable divider ( N) ratio is determined (program med)
by setting the synthesizer switches to the code cor-
responding with the desired operating frequency. Once
the N ratio is programmed, the vco can phase lock on-
ly at that frequency which translates down to 12.5 kHz.
e. Because the maximum counting speed of the
cmos program ma ble divider is 5 MHz, th e 42 to 68 MHz
range of the vco must be frequency translated down to
less th an 5 MHz. This is a ccomplished by first dividing
the output frequency of the vco with t he 4 pr escaler in
the vco module. The prescaler output is routed to the
mixer in the synthesizer module. The output of the mix-
er is the difference frequency of the prescaler input and
th e 10 MH z or 12.5 MHz r eference oscillat or.
f. Because th e capt ure ra nge of th e phase detector is
narrow (approximately 500 kHz at the vco frequency),
the vco must be swept over its frequency range to a fre-quency within this capture range. When this occurs, the
phase detector output control voltage (superimposed on
the sweep voltage) pulls the vco into phase-lock with the
reference frequency of the synthesizer.
g. The sweep voltage is a sawtooth staircase
waveform consist ing of add itive coarse t un e volta ge
steps over a voltage range from 1.5 vdc to 13.0 vdc. The
ramp sweeps the vco over its frequency range by stepp-
ing up from 1.5 vdc to the coars e tu ne volta ge required
to put the vco frequency within the capture range of the
phase detector. Once phase lock is achieved, the ramp
stops and holds at that coarse tune voltage. The tune
voltage output from t he synth esizer is th e phase detectorcontrol voltage superimposed on the ramp coarse tune
voltage. The level of the phase-locked tuning voltage is
proportional to the selected operating frequency, and
varies from 2.0 vdc to 11.0 vdc.
h . The loop filter attenuates the 12.5 kHz reference
frequency to minimize frequency modulation of the
Vco.
i. The synthesizer also generates the battery savertiming waveform and the 150 Hz squelch tone wave-
form, Both of these signals are derived from the crystal
reference frequency with digital frequency dividers.
