BASIC OPERATION

When you enter the Satellite mode, you are always controlling one of 10 Satellite Memory channels with the adjustable frequency function. The Satellite Memory channel number (0 ~ 9) appears above the main band frequency display when you enter this mode.

1Press [SATL] while in group B–1 to enter Satellite mode.

•The default downlink (435.9 MHz) and uplink (145.9 MHz) frequencies appear.

•“TRC”, “R”, and “SATL” appear to indicate the current selections.

2On VFO A, tune to the downlink (RX) frequency of the satellite.

3Press or press and hold [MODE] while in group A–1 to select the desired operating mode.

4As the Satellite moves, fine tune to the changing downlink (RX) frequency of the satellite using the Tuning control (adjusting the Doppler effect).

•As you adjust the downlink (RX) frequency, the Trace function automatically changes the uplink frequency so that the sum of the two frequencies is kept the same (Reverse Trace).

•If necessary, press [TRACE] while in group A–2 to quit the Trace function. “TRC” disappears.

•The trace function can also change the uplink (TX) frequency so that the difference between the two frequencies is kept the same (Normal Trace).

5If you want to switch to the normal trace mode, press [T.REV] while in group A–2. “R” disappears.

6To adjust the frequency on the sub-band display: Press [M/S] while in group A–2 to swap the main band with the sub-band frequency, then turn the Tuning or MULTI/ CH control. The following table shows which control to use when adjusting frequencies with tracing ON and OFF.

STORING SATELLITE MEMORY CHANNELS

You can store all the above settings to one of 10 Satellite memory channels for future operations.

1Press [M.IN] while in group A–4, then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select a channel from 0 to 9.

2Press [M.IN] again to store the selection to the memory channel. To quit, press [CLR].

Note: The Satellite Memory channel does not hold the frequency adjustment values when the channel is changed. So, when you change the channel number or switch the transceiver OFF, the adjusted frequency values are cleared unless you stored it by pressing [M.IN].

RECALLING A SATELLITE MEMORY CHANNEL

1Press [V/M] while in group A–4.

2Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select your desired Satellite Memory channel.
