Description of menu entries

Satellite frequency

With input via the numeric keys ... frequency input is in 5-figure form in the

range 10700 to 12747 MHz. With the keys you can attain the optimum receiv- ing frequency by moving in 1 MHz steps (recommended if the picture is grainy due to weak signals).

Polarisation/Oscillator

In menu entry “Polarisation“, the voltage level is used (14 or 18V) to set the polarity (vertical or horizontal).

In the “Oscillator" menu entry, the oscillator frequency group LO 1 to LO4 is se- lected. With the oscillator frequency the high satellite frequency is converted to the satellite IF frequency. This allows troublefree matching to different feed systems.
