FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION, cont'd.
BEEP - The 'beep' tone is provided to indicate that
entries have been accepted or to notify of error. Press
this button to enable or disable the 'beep'.
VFO - Press to place the receiver in the normal variable
frequency tuning mode (VFO). Select desired fre-
quency, mode, attenuator, synchronous detector, AGC,
Bandwidth, etc.
SKIP - In the memory mode, press to skip the current
memory channel for a Scan operation. An 'S' will be
displayed to the right of the selected memory channel
number. When an 'S' is displayed next to a selected
memory channel number, press this button to restore the
memory channel for scan operation.
SW BAND - Pressing the SW BAND button when SWW has
been selected with the BAND button (see 12) will cause
the '= portion of the SW - METER display on the LCD
to flash for approximately 2 seconds. During this 2
second interval, entering the meter designator for the
desired meter band will cause the receiver to go to the
low end of the frequency range for the desired meter
band. The frequency ranges for the defined meter
shortwave bands are as shown in the 'Shortwave Band
Designators' table which follows.
Shortwave Band Designators
Band Low Freq High Freq
120 Meter 2300 kHz 2500 kHz
90 Meter 3200 kHz 3400 kHz
75 Meter 3900 kHz 4000 kHz
60 Meter 4750 kHz 5060 kHz
49 Meter 5950 kHz 6200 kHz
41 Meter 7100 kHz 7600 kHz
31 Meter 9500 kHz 9900 kHz
25 Meter 11,600 kHz 12,100 kHz
22 Meter 13,570 kHz 13,870 kHz
19 Meter 15,100 kHz 15,800 kHz
16 Meter 17,480 kHz 17,900 kHz
13 Meter 21,450 kHz 21,850 kHz
11 Meter 25,600 kHz 26,100 kHz
DEL - Press and hold for three seconds to delete a
selected memory channel. An audible beep indicates
that the selected memory channel has been
deleted.
SCAN - Pressing this button starts scanning of the
current block of 10 channels. The receiver will stop at
each programmed memory channel for 5 seconds, then
increment to the next memory channel. Channels
programmed for SKIP will not be scanned. Press this
button again to stop the scan operation.
16. Direct- Key-Input
Numeric Keys - Keys 0 thru 9 plus the'.' key are used to
make direct numeric entries of frequencies, memory
channel numbers and meter band designators.
CLR LOCK - Press this key to clear an incorrectly entered
frequency or other value. Pressing and holding this button
for three seconds will cause the receiver to be locked in its
present configuration. All front panel push button controls
(except for the power button) as well as the tuning knob will
be ineffective, and "LOCKED" will appear on the LCD
display. To return to normal operating mode, once again
press the CLR LOCK key for three seconds.
17. Signal Strength Meter - This meter indicates the
relative received signal level in S-units, and dB above S9.
Each S-unit between S1 and S9 equals an approximate 5
dB change in received signal strength. Each dB number
above S9 represents a 10 dB increase in received signal
strength.
18. SET Keys
CLOCK - Pressing this button will display the current time of
the current clock. After three seconds, the display will revert
to the current frequency. Pressing and releasing this button
while the time is displayed will toggle the time display
between the two clocks (local or alternate). The timer will
operate according to the last displayed clock time. See
section on 'SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS' on page 21.
TIMER - Pressing this button will activate the timer mode. If
the Timer has been activated, the 'TIMER' symbol will be
displayed even after the receiver is turned off. The receiver
will automatically turn on and off as programmed. See
section on 'SETTING TIMER ON/ OFF TIMES' on page 22.
LAMP - Press to turn the display backlighting on or off. With
internal battery operation, the backlighting automatically
turns off after a short delay following a function change or
retuning of the receiver in order to prolong battery life. Also,
the receiver senses Battery or AC operation, and allows the
lamp to remain lit if on AC.
19. Speaker - This is the opening for the internal
speaker for the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM
RECEIVER.
