FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION, cont'd.
BEEP - The 'beep' tone is provided to indicate that entries have been accepted or to notify of error. Press this button to enable or disable the 'beep'.
VFO - Press to place the receiver in the normal variable frequency tuning mode (VFO). Select desired fre- quency, mode, attenuator, synchronous detector, AGC, Bandwidth, etc.
SKIP - In the memory mode, press to skip the current memory channel for a Scan operation. An 'S' will be displayed to the right of the selected memory channel number. When an 'S' is displayed next to a selected memory channel number, press this button to restore the memory channel for scan operation.
SW BAND - Pressing the SW BAND button when SWW has been selected with the BAND button (see 12) will cause the '= portion of the SW - METER display on the LCD to flash for approximately 2 seconds. During this 2 second interval, entering the meter designator for the desired meter band will cause the receiver to go to the low end of the frequency range for the desired meter band. The frequency ranges for the defined meter shortwave bands are as shown in the 'Shortwave Band Designators' table which follows.
Shortwave Band Designators
Band | Low Freq | High Freq |
120 Meter | 2300 kHz | 2500 kHz |
90 Meter | 3200 kHz | 3400 kHz |
75 Meter | 3900 kHz | 4000 kHz |
60 Meter | 4750 kHz | 5060 kHz |
49 Meter | 5950 kHz | 6200 kHz |
41 Meter | 7100 kHz | 7600 kHz |
31 Meter | 9500 kHz | 9900 kHz |
25 Meter | 11,600 kHz | 12,100 kHz |
22 Meter | 13,570 kHz | 13,870 kHz |
19 Meter | 15,100 kHz | 15,800 kHz |
16 Meter | 17,480 kHz | 17,900 kHz |
13 Meter | 21,450 kHz | 21,850 kHz |
11 Meter | 25,600 kHz | 26,100 kHz |
DEL - Press and hold for three seconds to delete a selected memory channel. An audible beep indicates that the selected memory channel has been deleted.
SCAN - Pressing this button starts scanning of the current block of 10 channels. The receiver will stop at each programmed memory channel for 5 seconds, then increment to the next memory channel. Channels programmed for SKIP will not be scanned. Press this button again to stop the scan operation.
16. Direct- Key-Input
Numeric Keys - Keys 0 thru 9 plus the'.' key are used to make direct numeric entries of frequencies, memory channel numbers and meter band designators.
CLR LOCK - Press this key to clear an incorrectly entered frequency or other value. Pressing and holding this button for three seconds will cause the receiver to be locked in its present configuration. All front panel push button controls (except for the power button) as well as the tuning knob will be ineffective, and "LOCKED" will appear on the LCD display. To return to normal operating mode, once again press the CLR LOCK key for three seconds.
17.Signal Strength Meter - This meter indicates the relative received signal level in
18.SET Keys
CLOCK - Pressing this button will display the current time of the current clock. After three seconds, the display will revert to the current frequency. Pressing and releasing this button while the time is displayed will toggle the time display between the two clocks (local or alternate). The timer will operate according to the last displayed clock time. See section on 'SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS' on page 21.
TIMER - Pressing this button will activate the timer mode. If the Timer has been activated, the 'TIMER' symbol will be displayed even after the receiver is turned off. The receiver will automatically turn on and off as programmed. See section on 'SETTING TIMER ON/ OFF TIMES' on page 22.
LAMP - Press to turn the display backlighting on or off. With internal battery operation, the backlighting automatically turns off after a short delay following a function change or retuning of the receiver in order to prolong battery life. Also, the receiver senses Battery or AC operation, and allows the lamp to remain lit if on AC.
19.Speaker - This is the opening for the internal speaker for the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM RECEIVER.
