MEMORY FUNCTIONS

MEMORY DESCRIPTION

The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM contains 70 memory locations that can be used to store and recall commonly monitored frequencies. These 70 locations are divided into blocks of 10, ie. 00-09, 10-19 20-29, etc. This allows convenient grouping of frequencies. As an example, 00- 09 could be AM broadcast stations, 10-19 could be FM broadcast stations, 20-29 could be various time stations such as CHU and WWV, etc. With memory locations programmed, you can use the SCAN function to automatically monitor desired memory frequencies. The following operating parameters may be stored in any memory location:

(I)Frequency, (2) Mode, (3) Bandwidth, (4) AGC setting,

(5) Attenuator, (6) Synchronous detector.
