Satellite operation Satellite memories
D Satellite memory screen
q Satellite memory number (1 ~ 99)
w Downlink frequency
The downlink frequency (Receive frequency) and
mode.
e Uplink frequency
The uplink frequency (Transmit frequency) and
mode.
r Memory edit icon
Touch to open the MEMORY menu. You can edit
the memory name, write or clear the memory in the
menu.
t Memory name
The saved memory name is displayed.
L Select a memory, then push [QUICK] to open the QUICK
MENU. You can edit the memory name,
write or clear
the memory in the menu.
When your own signal can be received with a loop
test, satellite communication can be performed.
1. Rotate
MAIN DIAL
to set the frequency.
2. When a frequency is shifted by the Doppler effect,
rotate
MAIN DIAL
to tune to the frequency.
• When you use beam antennas, you may need critical
adjustment of the antenna direction, especially when
communicating through satellites in low orbits.
The IC-9700 has 99 satellite memories to store both
uplink and downlink frequencies,
operating modes and other data.
L Tracking selection, normal or reverse, is not programmed
in the satellite memories.
L Refer to the ADVANCED MANUAL for memory
management details.
Using the RIT
You can tune the downlink frequency ±9.99 kHz with
the RIT. (p. 4-1)
Communicating in the FM mode:
• Some satellites require the transmit signal with a
tone when communicating in the FM mode. Refer
to amateur radio websites for more information.
• The AFC function automatically compensates for
the frequency drift caused by the Doppler effect. (p.
7-2)
Communicating in the FM mode:
You can have a QSO with the crew of the ISS
(International Space Station) using the Split function. Refer
to related websites for more information.
