3 Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] or [CW/ FSK/ REV] to
select LSB, USB, or CW 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 [A=B / TRACE] to quit the
Trace function. “TRACE” 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 [SPLIT / REV]. “ ” disappears.
6 To adjust the frequency on the sub-band display
(normally the uplink frequency) without tracing,
turn the RIT/ SUB control. To adjust it using the
trace function, press [A/B / M/S] to swap the main
band frequency and sub-band frequency then turn
the Tuning control 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 the future operations.
1 Press [M.IN], then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
select a channel from 0 to 9.
2 Select your desired settings.
3 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
adjustment frequency values are cleared if they are not stored by
pressing [M.IN].
RECALLING A SATELLITE MEMORY CHANNEL
1 Press [VFO/M / VFO/CH].
• The MULTI/ CH LED lights.
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired
Satellite Memory channel.
3 Press [VFO/M / VFO/CH] to return to the
frequency adjustment mode.
SATELLITE CHANNEL NAME
You can name each Satellite Memory channel using a
maximum of 8 alpha-numeric characters. First, store
the settings to the Satellite Memory channel {above}.
To store the Satellite Channel name:
1 Press [M.IN] then turn the MULTI/ CH control to
select the Satellite Memory channel.
2 Press [DISP].
3 An entry cursor appears. Select a character by
turning MULTI/ CH control, then move the cursor
using [SUB] or [MAIN]. You can also use the
other methods to enter the characters. Refer to
page 63 for details.
4 Press [M.IN] to store the name to the Satellite
Memory channel. Press [CLR] to quit.
5 The stored Satellite Memory name appears on the
main dot-matrix display.
QUICK MEMORY IN SATELLITE MODE
While in the Satellite mode, only 1 Quick Memory
channel is available. It uses Satellite Memory
channel 9 to store the settings. To store the settings
to the Quick Memory in Satellite mode, press
QUICK MEMO [M.IN]. The settings are stored to
Satellite Memory channel 9.
To recall the Quick Memory, press
QUICK MEMO [MR] or select Satellite Memory
channel 9, using the MULTI/ CH control. Satellite
Memory channel 9 is recalled.
CHECKING THE UPLINK FREQUENCY
When you need to monitor the uplink (TX) frequency,
press [TF-SET]. Each time you press [TF-SET], the
uplink (TX) frequency and the downlink (RX)
frequency are swapped.
USING XIT/ RIT IN SATELLITE MODE
You can also use the RIT or XIT function while in the
Satellite mode. Press [RIT/ CW TUNE] or [XIT/ ALT]
to activate the function. When the RIT or XIT function
is ON, the sub-band frequency display shows the
current RIT or XIT offset frequency instead of the
operating frequency. To clear the RIT or XIT offset
frequency, press [CLEAR].
Note: You cannot activate both the RIT and XIT functions at the
same time in the Satellite mode.
CHANGING THE FREQUENCY BAND
If you need to change the uplink and/or downlink
frequency band, press [CTRL] to move the “
” icon
to the frequency band that you want to change.
Then, press [+]/ [–] to select the band you want to
operate.
