receiving antennas with coaxial feed lines of 50 Ohm 
nominal impedance. It accepts a standard PL-259 plug. If 
selected by the Shortwave Antenna Select switch (item 2), 
this input operates for the AM Broadcast and Shortwave 
bands only (100 kHz to 30 MHz). 
 2. SHORTWAVE ANTENNA SELECT - This switch selects 
one of three possible antenna systems to be used for the 
100 kHz to 30 MHz antenna input. Positions 1 and 2 select 
ANTENNA 1 and ANTENNA 2 respectively, which are 
described in items 1 and 5 on this section. When WHIP is 
selected, the built in whip anten na, located at the rear right-
hand corner of the receivers top, is connected. Also built 
into the receiver is a ferrite rod antenna which also operates 
when this switch is in the WHIP position, AND the receiver is 
tuned betw een 100 kHz and 1800 kHz. 
 3. FM/AIR ANTENNA SELECT -  This switch allows 
selection of either the built-in WHIP antenna, or an 
external 75 Ohm antenna connected at the FM/AIR 
terminal (item 4) for the 87 - 108 MHz and 118 - 137 MHz 
frequency ranges. 
 4. FM/AIR Antenna -  This F type input is designed for an 
unbalanced 75 Ohm input connection that is encountered 
with coaxial feeds. Connect to the FM connection of a 
TV/FM outdoor antenna feed (splitter), if available. Folded 
dipoles or coaxial antennas will also provide good results 
with this input for reception of the FM broadcast and Aircraft 
Bands. If selected by the F M/AIR Antenna Select switch 
(Item 3), this input operates for the FM Broadcast (87 - 108 
MHz) and Aircraft ( 118 kHz to 137 MHz) bands only. 
 5. ANTENNA 2 -This connector can be used to attach a 
high impedance (500 Ohm nominal) antenna. Use the 
GND (black) and 500 Ohm (red) terminals for a  500 
Ohm antenna. If selected by the Shortwave Antenna Select 
switch (Item 2), this input operates for the AM Broadcast and 
Shortwave (100 kHz to 30 MHz) bands only. 
6. LINE AUDIO OUT  -These RCA connectors provide 
constant low level left and right audio sources that are 
independent of the front panel VOLUME, TREBLE and 
BASS control settings. They are designed to interface to a 
tape recorder, CW/RTTY demodulat ors, stereo amplifiers,

GETTING STARTED 
GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver has been designed for ease of use. Please take a few moments to read through this section and familiarize yourself with general operating information.  MICROPROCESSOR RESET A power-up reset routine will be activated anytime after the receiver COMPLETELY loses power, either from internal batteries or external DC input. This will be observed by the front panel display illuminating all annunciators for 3 seconds, followed by the clock display. However, short term power failures of up to 30 minutes are masked by an internal back-up capacitor. This will allow ample time for battery replacement without loss of the internal clock. Note: Any programmed memory locations will NOT be lost under a power-up reset due to the memory design of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM.  BEEP TONES The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM responds to all key depressions with an audible beep unless the beep has been disabled by the BEEP button. No beep is generated under any condition for depressions of the TUNING keys when in VFO mode. Beep tones indicate the following: One short tone for a key depression. One long, high tone when storing a memory channel.  One long, low tone for any illegal key depression.  FIRST STEPS Please refer to the front panel illustration and set the controls as described below. (1) Install 6 D batteries or connect AC ADAPTER. (2) Fully extend the whip antenna and adjust to a vertical position, or connect an external antenna to appropriate rear panel terminals. Set rear panel ANTENNA SELECT switch(es) to appropriate position(s).  (3) Press POWER and adjust VOLUME to a comfortable level. (4) Select the desired band by pressing the BAND button until the desired band is displayed on the front panel display. (5) Enter the desired frequency by using one of several methods covered below.  DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY Direct entry of a desired frequency is possible using the Direct-Key-Input keys. While entering a frequency, if 
an incorrect frequency is entered, pressing the        button will clear the entry in progress and return the receiver to its previous settings. The second depression 
of the decimal  button acts as an ENTER and causes 
immediate response to the entered frequency. If you do 
not press the decimal  button a second time 
at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the 
frequency after a slight delay. 
Enter frequency as follows: (A) The Shortwave and AM broadcast bands enter in kHz (Kilohertz). A maximum of 6 digits may he entered. Examples:  700 KHz 
Press   29,660 kHz 
Press   14,258.1 kHz 
Press  OR 
Press  * When the maximum number of allowed digits is entered, the decimal point will be automatically placed between the 1 kHz and .1 kHz digits and need not be entered.  ** The second depression of the . button acts as an ENTER and causes immediate response to the entered frequency. If you do not press the decimal .a second time at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay.  (B) Aircraft and FM broadcast bands enter in MHz (megahertz). A maximum of 5 digits may be entered for FM, and a maximum of 7 digits may be entered for Aircraft band entries. Examples:  97.7 MHz 
Press . 
 
121.9 MHz  
Press   Attempting to enter a frequency outside the tuning range of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver will cause the ERROR annunciator to flash along with the error beep to be heard. The receiver will then return to its previous settings.

GETTING STARTED, contd. 
SHORTWAVE METER BAND DESIGNATOR ENTRY To facilitate tuning to particular sections of the shortwave band that contain many worldwide broadcasts of news, information and music, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM permits entry of the METER band designator. In some cases, the worldwide broadcast station may not announce its exact operating frequency, but will announce the METER band in which it is operating or to which band it will move to improve worldwide reception at a particular time of day. By entering this METER band number, the receiver automatically tunes to the low frequency end of the corresponding METER band. The search for the new station location is thus limited to a particular smaller section of the entire shortwave band spectrum. The Shortwave Band Designators and corresponding frequency ranges are as 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  Press the BAND button as required to enter the shortwave band tuning mode. At this point, you can enter a frequency with the Direct-Key-Input buttons, or use the TUNING knob 
and/or the  and  buttons to change frequency.  To enter a shortwave band METER designator, press the SW BAND button to display a flashing METER number entry prompt. The prompt will flash for approximately 3 seconds after the SW BAND button is pressed. While it is still flashing, enter one of the listed two or three digit Band numbers corresponding to the desired METER band designator using the Direct-Key-Input buttons. While the METER 
annunciator is flashing, the  and  buttons can also be used to step quickly from band to band. After selection of 
the METER band, use the TUNING knob orand  buttons to change the frequency, or press the Direct-Key-Input keys to make a direct frequency entry. 
FREQUENCY RESOLUTION 
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM tunes in the 
following steps: 
 
FRONT PANEL LOCK (UNLOCK) 
All keyboard entries, display settings, and entries from the tuning knob can be locked if desired. First, be sure the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is not in SCAN mode. 
Press and hold the  button which is one of the Direct-Key-Input keys. The LOCK annunciator will light indicating the front panel controls are LOCKED out. POWER on/off will still function as well as VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, and AIR BAND SQUELCH. Press and 
hold the  button to unlock. The LOCK annunciator will extinguish, indicating the front panel controls are once again active. 
AM SYNCRONOUS OPERATION  For general tuning and listening, normal AM is best. If, however, the received signal sounds distorted, or interference from adjacent stations is present, AM synchronous should be engaged. The synchronous detector in your receiver can greatly reduce the severe audio distortion that can occur due to signal fading. The detector also permits selectable tuning to either the upper or lower sideband portion of an AM signal. Since most all AM (LW, MW and SW) broadcasting generally uses double-sideband transmission, detection of either of the two sidebands results in full reception of the transmitted information. The selectable sideband tuning and detection not only aids reception by permitting tuning to the stronger or less distorted sideband, but also permits rejection of the sideband nearer to the interfering signal(s). For Example: 
  
						

							 
 18
GETTING STARTED, 
contd. 
The synchronous detector will lock to the strongest signal that is within the IF passband when it is activated. Most of the time, the strongest signal will be the carrier of the desired signal. First, be sure the main tuning is set to within 1 kHz of the desired stations transmitting frequency. Press the AM SYNC button to activate synchronous operation. If adjacent channel interference or any other undesired signal is sufficiently strong, the synchronous detector may lock to it instead. In that case, press the AM SYNC button again to turn the synchronous detector off, and repeat the tuning process. For severe cases of fading, set the audio bandwidth to 4 kHz. If interference is present, press the SSB USBLSB button to select the sideband with the least interference once AM SYNC has been selected. If the interference is sufficiently severe to prevent reception, select a narrower IF bandwidth and retune to the desired signal. After reception is obtained, select a wider bandwidth and/or alternate sideband if desired. When AM SYNC has been activated, moving the TUNING knob will cause the SYNC circuit to momentarily disengage (indicated by SYNC flashing), then back on again when tuning has stopped. AM SYNC does not function on the AIR band, and will not operate properly on intermittent transmissions such as those encountered on CB radio, and AIR bands. For those types of transmissions, use the AM mode. Press the AM SYNC button to turn the synchronous detector off before selecting LSB or USB modes.  SSB OPERATION Tuning in a single sideband (SSB) signal can be somewhat frustrating for the first time listener. In either of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUMs SSB modes, LSB (lower sideband), or USB (upper sideband), the receiver will select the 2.3 kHz bandwidth automatically (the receiver may be programmed to NOT automatically select a bandwidth. Refer to Automatic Bandwidth Setting With Mode Selection DISABLE (ENABLE) in,the Special Use Features and Functions section of this manual). Generally, LSB is used below 10 MHz and USB is used above 10 MHz. When initially tuning in the desired station, tune slowly. If the station is unintelligible, try the other sideband, again tuning slowly. A station tuned in on the wrong sideband is totally unreadable but a station mistuned on the correct sideband may sound like Donald Duck. Further tuning will result in a more normal voice pitch. 
FM OPERATION 
FM reception is perhaps the easiest mode to use on the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM. The AGC and BANDWIDTH settings are not used in FM. In fact, attempting to activate these buttons will result in an ERROR beep. All FM stations in the U.S. end in an odd 100 kHz, i.e. 97.7 MHz, and are spaced 200 kHz apart. The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM has the ability to tune in 20 kHz steps to allow tuning in between stations to help eliminate interference to weaker stations that could be covered up by stronger adjacent stations. Additionally, when headphones or external speakers are used, true stereo reception is possible. The front panel stereo 
indicator  will light when a stereo station is tuned in. The receiver will automatically switch to stereo and provide left and right audio from the headphone jack, line output jacks, or external speaker jack. If the headphones or external speakers are removed while listening to a stereo broadcast, the receiver will provide monaural audio from the internal speaker, and the front panel stereo indicator will disappear.  AGC OPERATION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides the ability to select a Slow or Fast AGC setting. Either of the two settings will permit automatic control of the receivers gain thereby producing a constant audio output free of distortion. Generally, the Slow AGC setting is preferred for reception of AM and SSB signals. The Fast AGC setting allows more rapid automatic receiver gain adjustment to quickly fading signal levels. The AGC does not function in the FM mode.

MEMORY FUNCTIONS 
  MEMORY DESCRIPTION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM contains 70 memory locations that can be used to store and recall commonly monitored frequencies. These 70 locations are divided into blocks of 10, ie. 00-09, 10-19 20-29, etc. This allows convenient grouping of frequencies. As an example, 00-09 could be AM broadcast stations, 10-19 could be FM broadcast stations, 20-29 could be various time stations such as CHU and WWV, etc. With memory locations programmed, you can use the SCAN function to automatically monitor desired memory frequencies. The following operating parameters may be stored in any memory location:  (I) Frequency, (2) Mode, (3) Bandwidth, (4) AGC setting, (5) Attenuator, (6) Synchronous detector.   STORING A MEMORY CHANNEL First, be sure that the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is in the VFO mode (MEMORY or SCAN not displayed). If 
required, press the  button to place unit in the 
VFO mode. 
(A) Select the desired frequency, mode, bandwidth, etc. 
(B) Press the  button. MEMORY will light and the memory channel number will flash for approximately 3 seconds. While it is still flashing, enter a two-digit number from 00 to 69. A confirmation beep will be heard. (C) The receiver will return to the VFO mode and the last used memory location will be displayed in the MEMORY portion of the display. 
RECALLING A MEMORY LOCATION 
To select a specific memory channel, press the  button. This will cause MEMORY to light on the front panel display, and the MEMORY channel number will flash for approximately 3 seconds. While it is still flashing, enter a two digit number of the desired memory channel to be received. Make certain that the successive button depressions are made within 3 seconds of each other. Other 
memory channels may be selected by pressing the  button and entering two digit numbers. If a channel number is selected that is empty, Error will flash.  The large TUNING knob may be used to tune from the frequency that was stored in the selected memory channel. The MEMORY symbol turns off, but the last memory channel 
number still shows. Pressing thebutton will cause the receiver to return to the last selected memory channel number and the MEMORY symbol will turn on.  DELETING A MEMORY LOCATION Select the memory channel to be deleted as described in RECALLING A MEMORY LOCATION. Press and hold the 
 button for 3 seconds. A beep will be heard to indicate that the contents stored in the selected memory channel number have been deleted.

SCAN FUNCTIONS SCAN DESCRIPTION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides a time scan function of programmed memory channels using the 
button. Scan will begin and end within a 10 channel block of programmed memory channels as indicated by the most significant digit of the selected memory channel number. 
 The receiver will stop at each programmed memory channel within the block for 5 seconds and then increment to the next memory channel. Memory channels that are programmed to be skipped will not be scanned. The SCAN symbol will be displayed for the duration of the scan action. Scanning will continue until the SCAN button is pressed again.  Example for SCAN:  Suppose that memory channels 30 through 39 are programmed and it is desired to scan these channels. To 
initiate the scan action, press the  button followed by the two-digit channel number entry (can enter 30 through 39 for this example).  
Press the  button. The receiver will begin scanning from the selected memory channel and continue scanning in sequence: 30- 31 -32 - etc. 
Press the  button again to stop the scanning action.  Note that if channels 29 and 40 were stored, they would not be included in a scan of the channels starting with a 3 as the most significant digit of the channel number. MEMORY CHANNEL SKIP A memory channel can be skipped for scan operations. While in the MEMORY mode, press the( SKIP I button. The display will indicate that the SKIP function has been stored for that particular memory channel number. An S will be displayed to the right of the memory channel number on the display. Repeat the same sequence as described to remove the SKIP function from a memory channel number.  Example for MEMORY CHANNEL SKIP:  Refer to the previous example on this page. Suppose it is desired to skip the memory channel number 34 from the scan action:  From the normal variable frequency tuning and reception 
mode (VFO) or from the Memory mode, press the  button followed by the two-digit number 34. 
Press the button. An S will illuminate to the right of the displayed 34. When the scan action is initiated, all channel numbers 30 through 39, except 34, will be scanned. Note that the memory contents of channel 34 still remain. It is skipped over only in the scan sequence. 
To allow channel 34 to again be included in the scan 
sequence, press the  button followed by the two-digit number 34. 
Press the button to remove the SKIP function from channel 34 for this example. The S indicator in the display will turn off.

CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS 
 TIME DISPLAY The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM incorporates a dual time clock allowing two 24 hour clocks to be set and maintained. During loss of AC power, or during battery changing, clock operation is maintained for a period of approximately 30 minutes, if the receiver has been connected to an AC power source or had the batteries installed for a minimum time of 10 minutes. The two-event timer functions are also derived from the last displayed clock, therefore the clocks must be set first for proper TIMER operation. TIMER Settings are also maintained through a power loss for a period of approximately 30 minutes. 
Pressing the  button once will display the current time of the current clock. After approximately 3 seconds, the display will revert to the current frequency. Pressing and releasing the button while time is being displayed will toggle the time display between the two clocks. Normally the clock accompanied by the L on the display will be set with the local time, while the alternate clock will be set to display GMT (UTC) time. The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM will display the selected clock when the POWER switch is turned off.  SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS Select local (L) or alternate time clock by pressing the 
  button.  
Press and hold the  button for three seconds until the colon begins flashing rapidly. If the L is illuminated, you are setting the local clock. With no L displayed, you are setting the alternate clock. Either clock can be set first. Time is entered in a 24 hour format. Enter the time in HH:MM, with the colon understood. 
The button can be pressed to erase erroneous 
entries. Press the I  button to start the clock when 
the actual time value agrees with the entered time. The colon will flash at one second intervals when the clock is running. 
Example for Local Clock Set: With frequency displayed, suppose it is desired to set 13:01; 
Press and hold the  button until the colon flashes 
rapidly. Press the following sequence of numeric buttons: 
 
When the actual time is 13:01, Press the  button. 
The clock is now started.  TIMER OPERATION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM includes two program-mable event timers allowing the receiver to turn ON or OFF at preset times. The timers may be used separately or together and may recall a currently displayed frequency, memory channel or a combination of both. In addition, programming only an OFF time provides a Sleep timer, and programming only an ON time provides a Wake timer. Note that the timers, when activated, respond to the last displayed clock. Programming the timers is a two step process. Step one is to set the ON and OFF times. Step two is to assign a frequency or memory channel to a timer. This assignment occurs when the desired timer is actually enabled.
