u
Perform a loop test.
• Set the downlink frequency (MAIN band) to a vacant fre-
quency within the satellite’s coverage.
• Push [SWP 0
S
] then, set the uplink frequency (SUB
band) while transmitting a single tone such as a whistle
to find your downlink signal and monitor your own signal
correctly. Push [SWP 0
S
] after setting.
NOTE: To avoid excessive power, set the output
power so that the downlink signal strength is lower
than the beacon’s strength.
i
Set the desired frequency to begin your satellite
communications.
• Both the downlink and uplink frequencies are changed
simultaneously.
o
When your downlink audio drifts (Doppler effect),
push [SWP 0
S
] then rotate the tuning dial to adjust
the uplink frequency (SUB band) only.
Push [SWP 0
S
] again after setting.
• When a particular station’s audio is off frequency, use the
RIT function (push [RIT])
!0
To exit the satellite operation, push [SATELLITE].
CONVENIENT: As the transceiver has 10 satellite
memory channels, once set, desired satellite fre-
quencies can be recalled instantly.
NOTE: As the downlink (MAIN band) signal is ap-
plied to the SUB band unit receiver circuit in satel-
lite mode, an optional FL-133
CW NARROW FILTER
is
necessary to operate CW-N mode.
■
Satellite operation
When your own signal can be received with a loop test,
satellite communication can be performed.
q
Rotate the tuning dial to re-tune the uplink frequency
after pushing [SWP 0
S
], when shifting a frequency
with the Doppler effect.
• The downlink frequency readout (MAIN band) disap-
pears.

Satellite memory
The AG-2400 has 10 satellite memory channels to
memorize both uplink and downlink frequencies and
operating modes, etc.

Satellite memory selection
q
Push [SATELLITE] to enter the satellite mode.
w
Push [V/M 1] to select satellite memory mode.
• “MEMO” indicator and memory channel number are dis-
played beside the uplink frequency (SUB band) indica-
tion.
• Push [V/M 1] again to select satellite VFO.
