    1. Operation Features The TK-480/481 is an 800/900MHz band EFJ LTR™-com- patible trunked radio designed to operate in both trunked and conventional modes. The programmable features are summarized. Model Trunking mode Conventional mode This model can handle up to 32 systems with up to 250 groups in each system.
  • Page 5 TK-480/481 Auto TEL Automatically connects available repeaters that are con- nected to telephone circuits when operating as LTR system. The time allocated to search for available repeaters is 60 seconds, after which connection failure occurs, a DTMF tone is output and the function terminates. If connection to an available circuit is made, only ID 253, EOT or hang-up time-out can terminate the function.

    System up/down When the key is pressed each time, the system number to be selected is incremented/decremented and repeats if held for one second or longer. Telephone disconnect Pressing this key ends an RIC connection (disconnects the telephone line). None Sounds error operation beep, and no action will occur.
  • Page 7 TK-480/481 To unlock a system, select the system and press the key. The Delete ( ) indicator disappears to indicate that the sys- tem has returned to the scan sequence. The revert system is scanned even if it is locked out. If there a locked system, the Delete ( ) indicator flashes during fixed scanning.

    TK-480/481 Number of Retries Number of Retries is the maximum number of retry transmission when no acknowledgement is received in the Maximum ACK Wait Time. Increase this item to improve data communication reliability. TX Busy Wait Time TX Busy Wait Time is the maximum amount of time be- fore giving up the data transmission when the channel (or all the repeater channels for Trunking mode) is busy.
  • Page 12 OPERATING FEATURES / REALIGNMENT 7-16. Intercept Tone This tone indicates that the transceiver is out of range. It indicates that the PTT button is pressed, and transmission has started, but the repeater cannot be connected and talk- ing is not possible. It is output until the PTT button is re- leased.

    Notes: • To start the Firmware Programmer from KPG-49D, the Fpro path must be set up by KPG-49D Setup. • This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program- ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft- ware (KPG-49D). •...

  • Page 15: Circuit Description

    TK-480/481 1. Overview This transceiver is an 800/900MHz band EFJ LTR™ trunked system compatible FM portable transceiver that can be programmed to operate on both LTR and conventional systems. 2. Circuit Configuration by Frequency The receiver is a double-conversion superheterodyne with a first intermediate frequency (IF) of 44.85MHz and a second IF of 455kHz.
  • Page 16 3-3. Audio amplifier circuit The demodulated signal from IC9 is amplified by IC8 (2/ 2), high-pass filtered, low-pass filtered, high-pass filtered, band-eliminate filtered,and de-emphasized by IC12. The signal then goes through an AF amplifier IC3 (2/2), an electronic volume control (IC4), and an AF switch (Q310 is on), and is routed to audio power amplifier (IC300), where it is amplified and output to the internal speaker.
  • Page 17 TK-480/481 The signal from microphone passes through the limitter circuit in D11, and through the high-pass filter, the ALC cir- cuit, the low-pass filter, the high-pass filter, and pre-empha- sis/IDC circuit in IC12. When encoding DTMF, mute switch (Q7) is turned OFF for muting the microphone input signal. The signal passes through the D/A converter (IC4) for the maximum deviation adjustment, and enters the summing amplifier consisting of IC3 (2/2), and is mixed with the low...
  • Page 18 5. Frequency Synthesizer Unit 5-1. Frequency synthesizer The frequency synthesizer consists of the VCXO (X2), VCO (IC14), PLL IC (IC11) and buffer amplifiers. The VCXO generates 16.8MHz. The frequency stability is 1.5ppm within the temperature range of –30 to +60 C. The frequency tuning and modulation of the VCXO are done to apply a voltage to pin 1 of the VCXO.
  • Page 19 TK-480/481 6-2. Low battery warning The battery voltage is monitored by the microprocessor (IC15). When the battery voltage falls below the voltage set by the Low Battery Warning adjustment, the red LED flashes to notify the operator that it is time to replace the battery.
  • Page 20 7-2. Decode • Low-speed data (QT,DQT,LTR) The demodulated signal from the IF IC (IC9) is amplified by IC8 (1/2) and passes through a low-pass filter (IC10) to remove audio components. The signal is input to pin 23 of the CPU. The CPU digitizes this signal, performs processing such as DC restoration, and decodes the signal.
