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.
1 Press [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.
2 On VFO A, tune to the downlink (RX) frequency of the
satellite.
3 Press or press and hold [MODE] while in group A–1
to select the desired operating mode.
4 As 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).
5 If you want to switch to the normal trace mode, press
[T.REV] while in group A–2. “R” disappears.
6 To 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.
1 Press [M.IN] while in group A–4, then turn the MULTI/
CH control to select a channel from 0 to 9.
2 Press [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
1 Press [V/M] while in group A–4.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select your desired
Satellite Memory channel.
