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.

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
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.

w Rotate the tuning dial to re-tune the downlink fre-
quency after pushing [SCAN . M ], when the operat-
ing station's signal frequency is shifted.
• RIT function can also be used for downlink frequency
tuning within ±1 kHz range.
Satellite memory
The AG-2400 has 10 satellite memory channels to
memorize both uplink and downlink frequencies and
operating modes, etc.
ï 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.
e Push [DN ] or [UP ] to select the desired satellite
mode memory channel.
• The channels 00-09 are selectable.
• By pushing and holding either switch, the satellite mem-
ory channel changes continuously.

ï Satellite memory programming
q Select the desired satellite memory channel.
• Push [SATELLITE] to enter the satellite mode.
• Push [V/M 1] to select satellite VFO mode.
• Push [DN ] or [UP ] to select the desired satellite
mode memory channel.
w Set the desired downlink frequency to the MAIN
band and uplink frequency to the SUB band, as well
as operating mode.
• Push [Scan . M ] for downlink tuning, push [SWP 0 S ]
for uplink frequency tuning.
• Push [SUB] before the operating mode selection when
selecting operating mode for the uplink.
e Push [MW 4] for 1 sec. to program the set contents
to the satellite memory channel.

NOTE:Tracking selection, normal or reverse, is not
programmed in the satellite memory channels.
