TK-863G CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION IF Amplifier Frequency Configuration The first IF signal is amplified by Q13, and the enters IC5 The receiver utilizes double conversion. The first IF is (FM processing IC). The signal is heterodyned again with a 49.95MHz and the second IF is 450kHz. The first local oscil- second local oscillator signal within IC5 to create a 450kHz lator signal is supplied from the PLL circuit.
