[. . . ] NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk of personal injury, fire or electric shock. PRECAUTIONS CAUTION!The coaxial cable between this down converter unit and your transceiver should be clamped to the antenna pole to prevent the down converter unit from weighing down the preamplifier. SPECIFICATIONS · Receive frequency : 2400­2402 MHz · Out put frequency : 144­146 MHz · Total gain : More than 25 dB · Total NF value : Less than 1. 5 dB · Input/Output connector : Type-N · Antenna impedance : 50 · Grounding : Negative grounding · Power consumption : Approx. [. . . ] Normal and reverse tracking are available. ï Transferring the VFO frequency to the satellite VFO. q Set the downlink frequency (receive) in the MAIN band. w Set the uplink frequency (transmit) in the SUB band. to transfer the frequencies, set in steps q and w, into the satellite VFO. · Satellite mode is automatically selected after transferring. · "SATL" indicator with either "NOR" or "REV" indicator appears. · VFO and memory mode indication are displayed in the SUB band (lower area) during satellite mode. s Tracking selection REV ] for 1 sec. to switch bePush [F-INP ENT NOR tween normal and reverse tracking. ï Normal tracking Both downlink and uplink frequencies increase or decrease in the same step simultaneously by tuning dial rotation. ï Reverse tracking The downlink frequency follows the tuning dial rotation, however, the uplink frequency changes in the reverse direction to the tuning dial rotation in the same step.

"B, " "J, " etc. ) through documentation (magazine, etc. ) or via appropriate satellite tracking software. e Set the antenna direction for the desired satellite. r Select satellite mode on the transceiver. · Push [SATELLITE]. [. . . ] CONVENIENT: As the transceiver has 10 satellite memory channels, once set, desired satellite frequencies can be recalled instantly. NOTE: As the downlink (MAIN band) signal is applied to the SUB band unit receiver circuit in satellite mode, an optional FL-133 CW NARROW FILTER is necessary to operate CW-N mode. w Set the desired downlink frequency to the MAIN band and uplink frequency to the SUB band, as well as operating mode. · Push [Scan .
