GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is a microprocessor
controlled, synthesized, world band receiver with con-
tinuous coverage capability from 100 kHz through 30 MHz
which includes the AM broadcast and shorwave bands.
Reception also includes FM broadcast (87 - 108 MHz) and
Aircraft (118 -137 MHz) bands. The SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM offers excellent sensitivity, selectivity,
dynamic range, and features that permit easy tuning of
desired stations. Conveniently located front panel controls
allow for rapid operator programming and ease of use. The
unit can be operated from either the supplied AC
ADAPTER or from six "D" cell batteries (not supplied) for
portable operation. A low battery voltage indication is
displayed when that condition exists.
Three electronically switched IF filters are provided.
The front panel liquid crystal display provides feedback of
the current status of the receiver. The seven digit
frequency display provides resolution to 100 Hz accuracy in
the AM broadcast, Aircraft and Shortwave bands.
Resolution to 20 kHz is displayed in the FM broadcast band
mode. Backlighting of the display is selectable by a front
panel button. To prolong battery life with internal battery
operation, the backlighting automatically turns off after a
short delay following a function change or retuning of the
receiver.
Reception modes include Lower/Upper Sideband (LSB),
(USB), and AM in the Shortwave, and AM broadcast bands. For
the Shortwave and AM broadcast bands, a selectable
sideband synchronous detector (SYNC) allows for enhanced
reception by eliminating or reducing distortion due to fading
signals. During FM broadcast use, stereo reception is
available through the use of headphones.
Other built-in reception aids include selectable slow or fast
AGC, RF attenuator for use in strong signal handling
conditions, as well as treble and bass controls.
Two independent, real time clocks provide a local and
alternative time selection. Also provided is a two event
timer.
A programmable memory area allows for 70 independent
receiver set up memories. These memories do not require
battery backup and are thus unaffected by power
interruptions. All parameters associated with a particular
memory channel are stored including the frequency, mode,
bandwidth, fast or slow AGC, RF attenuator and
synchronous detector. These memory channels may be
accessed manually or through a time scan with each
channel monitored for a 5 second period.
