7 SATELLITE COMMUNICATION Satellite operation 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. 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. Satellite memories The IC-9700 has 99 satellite memories to store both uplink and downlink frequencies, 1 operating modes and other data.

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
