An endoscope system includes an endoscope including at least one switch, each of which can be assigned two functions, and a controller. The controller sets a plurality of function pairs, each of which is composed of a combination of any one of a plurality of first functions and any one of a plurality of second functions, and assigns one function pair selected from the plurality of function pairs to the switch, measures a switch pressing time period after the switch is pressed, and executes the first function when the switch pressing is released before a predetermined first time period elapses after the switch is pressed and executes the second function when the switch pressing time period passes the first time period.

An endoscopic device generates an endoscopic image based on an image pickup signal generated by an image pickup device at a distal-end portion of an insertion portion, acquires channel information regarding a channel formed in the insertion portion, acquires angle information regarding a display angle of the endoscopic image, and generates and outputs a display image including a display endoscopic image generated based on modifying the endoscopic image based on the angle information, and a channel guide image generated based on the angle information and the channel information.

In an earth station (11), an amplifier (15) amplifies a pilot information signal with a variable gain. An up link pilot is thereby transmitted with a controllable transmission power. A beacon receiver (28) detects a level or C/N with which a beacon signal emitted by a satellite reaches the station. A pilot receiver (33) detects a level or C/N for a down link pilot radiated by the satellite in response to the up link pilot. A controller (37) controls the gain to keep a ratio between the levels or C/N's constant. For keeping a similar ratio constant, another station may transmit a transmission signal with a likewise controllable transmission power and receive the down link pilot together with a return signal radiated by the satellite in response to the transmission signal. Still another station may control a similarly controllable transmission power in consideration of an up link attenuation which is estimated from the level or C/N of the down link pilot. One of up link signals may be substituted for the up link pilot with that one of down link signals used for the down link pilot which is radiated by the satellite in response to that one up link signal. Up link signals transmitted with the power so controlled, are radiated by the satellite as down link signals with a substantially constant EIRP despite an attenuation which might be caused to the up link signals by rain or mist.
