GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is a microprocessor controlled, synthesized, world band receiver with con- tinuous coverage capability from 100 kHz through 30 MHz which includes the AM broadcast and shorwave bands. Reception also includes FM broadcast (87 - 108 MHz) and Aircraft (118
Three electronically switched IF filters are provided.
The front panel liquid crystal display provides feedback of the current status of the receiver. The seven digit frequency display provides resolution to 100 Hz accuracy in the AM broadcast, Aircraft and Shortwave bands. Resolution to 20 kHz is displayed in the FM broadcast band mode. Backlighting of the display is selectable by a front panel button. To prolong battery life with internal battery operation, the backlighting automatically turns off after a short delay following a function change or retuning of the receiver.
Reception modes include Lower/Upper Sideband (LSB),
(USB), and AM in the Shortwave, and AM broadcast bands. For the Shortwave and AM broadcast bands, a selectable sideband synchronous detector (SYNC) allows for enhanced reception by eliminating or reducing distortion due to fading signals. During FM broadcast use, stereo reception is available through the use of headphones.
Other
Two independent, real time clocks provide a local and alternative time selection. Also provided is a two event timer.
A programmable memory area allows for 70 independent receiver set up memories. These memories do not require battery backup and are thus unaffected by power interruptions. All parameters associated with a particular memory channel are stored including the frequency, mode, bandwidth, fast or slow AGC, RF attenuator and synchronous detector. These memory channels may be accessed manually or through a time scan with each channel monitored for a 5 second period.
