Description

This function effects the tuning of the IBR-L (if fitted) to the

 

beacon frequency of the satellite to be tracked.

 

The IBR-L operates over the frequency range 945MHz to

 

1.75GHz (L-band). A block down converter is required to

 

convert the actual beacon frequency to the L-band range.

Note

The conversion from the operating frequency to the L-band

 

frequency for the IBR-L is performed automatically for BDCs

 

with standard local oscillator frequencies.

Setting Frequency

Menu Key 6 (Next Field) selects either the Frequency or Band

 

No. for editing. The Band No. must be set first otherwise the

 

frequency cannot be entered.

 

Use the numeric keypad to overwrite the band number and/or

 

frequency as required.

 

 

The down conversions assumed by the INTRAC-305 are :-

 

Band No.

Notes

Whilst bands 6 & 7 cover, in part, the same frequency range

 

the down conversion frequency is different.

To use an X-band frequency below 7.25GHz an IBR-L with an extended low frequency range is required.
