2 On VFO A, tune to the downlink frequency of the
satellite.
3 Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO] or [CW/ FSK/ REV] to
select LSB, USB, or CW mode.
4 Press [A/B] to select VFO B.

7 If you are using a directional antenna, adjust its
azimuth and elevation.
• If you have a pass prediction program, you can
use it to identify the exact location of the
satellite.
• If you are using a fixed omnidirectional
antenna, skip this step.
8 With time, fine tune to the changing downlink
frequency of the satellite using the Tuning control.
• As you adjust the downlink frequency, the
Trace function automatically changes the uplink
frequency so that the sum of the two
frequencies is kept the same.
• If necessary, press [A=B] to quit the Trace
function. "TRACE" disappears.
• The trace function can also change the uplink
frequency so that the difference between the
two frequencies is kept the same. Press
[SPLIT]. "R" disappears.
You can also store all the above selections in up to 10
memory channels. Press [M.IN], then turn the
MULTI/ CH control to select a channel from 0 to 9.
Press [M.IN] again to store the selection in the
channel. To recall the desired channel after storing,
rotate the MULTI/ CH control while in Satellite mode.
In order to use the MULTI/ CH control to change the
frequency when in Satellite mode, press [VFO/ M].
The MULTI/ CH LED turns off.
