SATELLITE OPERATION
Amateur satellites receive on one band and transmit  on
another.  This transceiver can handle uplink/ downlink
frequency combinations simultaneously as shown below.

BASIC OPERATION
When you enter the Satellite mode, you are always
controlling one of 10 Satellite Memory channels with the
adjustable frequency function.  The Satellite Memory
channel number (0 ~ 9) appears above the main band
frequency display when you enter this mode.
1Press [SATL] while in group BÐ1 to enter Satellite
mode.
¥ The default downlink (435.9 MHz) and uplink
(145.9 MHz) frequencies appear.
¥ ÒTRCÓ, ÒRÓ, and ÒSATLÓ appear to indicate the current
selections.
2On VFO A, tune to the downlink (RX) frequency of the
satellite.
3Press or press and hold [MODE] while in group AÐ1
to select the desired operating mode.
4As the Satellite moves, fine tune to the changing
downlink (RX) frequency of the satellite using the
Tuning control (adjusting the Doppler effect).
¥ As you adjust the downlink (RX) frequency, the Trace
function automatically changes the uplink frequency so
that the sum of the two frequencies is kept the same
(Reverse Trace).
¥ If necessary, press [TRACE] while in group AÐ2 to quit
the Trace function.  ÒTRCÓ disappears.
¥ The trace function can also change the uplink (TX)
frequency so that the difference between the two
frequencies is kept the same (Normal Trace).
5If you want to switch to the normal trace mode, press
[T.REV] while in group AÐ2.  ÒRÓ disappears.6To adjust the frequency on the sub-band display:
Press [M/S] while in group AÐ2 to swap the main
band with the sub-band frequency, then turn the
Tuning or MULTI/ CH control.  The following table
shows which control to use when adjusting
frequencies with tracing ON and OFF.

STORING SATELLITE MEMORY CHANNELS
You can store all the above settings to one of 10 Satellite
memory channels for future operations.
1Press [M.IN] while in group AÐ4, then turn the MULTI/
CH control to select a channel from 0 to 9.
2Press [M.IN] again to store the selection to the
memory channel.  To quit, press [CLR].
Note:  The Satellite Memory channel does not hold the frequency
adjustment values when the channel is changed.  So, when you change
the channel number or switch the transceiver OFF, the adjusted
frequency values are cleared unless you stored it by pressing [M.IN].
RECALLING A SATELLITE MEMORY CHANNEL
1Press [V/M] while in group AÐ4.
2Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select your desired
Satellite Memory channel. 
						

							33
3Press [V/M] to return to the frequency adjustment
mode.  If necessary, press the Tuning control to
toggle between the Tuning and MULTI/ CH control.
SATELLITE CHANNEL NAME
You can name each Satellite Memory channel using a
maximum of 8 alpha-numeric characters.  First, store the
settings to the Satellite Memory channel {above}.
1Press [M.IN] while in group AÐ4, then turn the
MULTI/ CH control to select your desired Satellite
Memory channel.
2Press [MN.IN].
¥ An entry cursor appears.
3Select a character by turning the MULTI/ CH control,
then move the cursor using [
[ [[ [
[]/ [
a aa a
a].  Press [M.SR]
to go back to Memory Scroll mode.  Press [DEL] to
erase the character at the cursor.  You can also use
the optional MC-52DM microphone to enter a name
{TS-2000 page 63}.
4Press [OK] to store the name to the Satellite Memory
channel.  Press [CLR] to quit.
5The stored Satellite Memory name appears above the
main band frequency display on the RC-2000.
QUICK MEMORY IN SATELLITE MODE
While in the Satellite mode, only 1 Quick Memory
channel is available.  It uses Satellite Memory channel 9
to store the settings.  To store the settings to the QuickMemory in Satellite mode, press [Q.IN] (L2).  The
settings are stored to Satellite Memory channel 9.
To recall the Quick Memory, press [Q.M] while in group
BÐ4 or press [V/M] while in group AÐ2, then turn the
MULTI/ CH control to recall the Satellite Memory
channel 9.
CHECKING THE UPLINK FREQUENCY
When you need to monitor the uplink (TX) frequency,
press [M/S] while in group AÐ2.  Each time you press
[M/S], the uplink (TX) frequency and the downlink (RX)
frequency are swapped.
USING XIT/ RIT IN SATELLITE MODE
You can also use the RIT or XIT function while in the
Satellite mode.  Press [RIT] (R2) or [XIT] while in group
AÐ2 to activate the function.  When the RIT or XIT
function is ON, the sub-band frequency display shows
the current RIT or XIT offset frequency instead of the
operating frequency.  To clear the RIT or XIT offset
frequency, press and hold [RIT] or [XIT].
Note:  You cannot activate both the RIT and XIT functions at the same
time in the Satellite mode.
CHANGING THE FREQUENCY BAND
Press [M/S] while in group AÐ3 to select the band you
want to change on the main band, then press [UP]/
[DOWN] while in group AÐ1 to select the band you want
to operate.  Press [M/S] again to swap the bands.
