The default setting is for automatic selection. This function has no action in the FM mode. The 6.0 kHz bandwidth is automatically selected in the AM mode. The 2.3 kHz bandwidth is the default for the SSB modes. All three bandwidths are selectable by successive depressions of this button for the AM broadcast, Shortwave and Aircraft bands. To disable the automatic bandwidth selection with mode, start in the POWER 'OFF' mode and press and hold the BANDWIDTH button while pressing the POWER button to put the receiver in the POWER 'ON' mode. To enable the automatic bandwidth selection with mode operation, repeat the same procedure.

10.AM Sync - Press to select the AM mode of operation. Successive depressions toggle the synchronous detector on and off. Press to turn the synchronous detector off before selecting SSB modes. The 'AM' and 'AM SYNC' modes are not accessible in the FM band. The 'AM SYNC' mode is not accessible in the Aircraft band.

13.LCD Display - The backlit, liquid crystal display provides the current status of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM such as frequency, mode, bandwidth, etc. Refer to LCD DISPLAY DESCRIPTION on page 14 of this manual for a full description.

14.Tuning - The 'TUNING' knob and the and buttons are the primary tuning controls of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM. Clockwise rotation of the dial increases frequency and counterclockwise rotation decreases frequency. The dial also incorporates variable speed tuning. The faster the dial is rotated, the faster the tuning

speed. The button increases and the button decreases the frequency by fixed steps (10 kHz or 9 kHz selectable in the AM broadcast band, 5 kHz on the Shortwave band, 100 kHz on the FM broadcast band and 25 kHz on the Aircraft band) with each depression. Pressing and holding either button will allow continuous stepping up or down as long as the button is depressed.

15. FUNCTION KEYS

STORE - This button is used to store the desired frequency, mode, attenuator, synchronous detector, AGC bandwidth, etc. as one of 70 memory channels. When pressed, the 'MEMORY' symbol will flash in the display. Enter a two digit number between '00' and '69' for the desired memory channel. An audible beep will indicate that the memory channel has been stored with the newly entered settings.

MEMO - To recall a memory channel at any time, press the 'MEMO' button and within three seconds of the button depression, enter a two-digit number between '00' and '69'. With 'MEMORY' displayed, other adjacent memory

channels can be recalled by use of the and buttons. The 'Tuning' knob may be used totune from the recalled frequency of the selected memory channel. Please note that numerical entries are interpreted as frequency entries if the 'MEMORY' channel number is not flashing.
