LOCATING SATELLITES
The function allows you to search for satellites whose
transponder frequencies are unknown. The frequency range from
1000 to 2100 MHz is continuously scanned for reception signals.
If a reception signal is detected, the reception level is indicated
in the display in the form of an increasing or decreasing bar.
The buttons allow you to set the measurement
range to three sensitivity levels.
A bearing sound enables you to monitor the level. The pitch
of the bearing sound is proportional to the received signal
level. The volume of the bearing sound can be adjusted using
the volume buttons.
