RXTX Ensemble PA Bias Control


 

Hi all,

I am trying to understand the circuitry, which controls the bias of the PA. My reference circuit diagram is dated 8/14/10.
What I am assuming: Q5 / BS170 controls the 2N2222 collector supply voltage by acting as a variable voltage divider R37-FET-R41.
What I don't understand is the function of D3 and Q4, they seem to control the gate bias of Q7 and Q8 thru T3.
Would highly appreciate any help.

Thanks and best 73
