Description

This facility does not have a screen of its own. It is a function

 

enabled by a menu key on the New Mode menu.

 

Auto New Model is used when it is required to track a new

 

satellite. It causes the INTRAC to clear the existing model (if

 

there is one) and start to build a new model of the orbit of the

 

satellite whose beacon signal it is receiving.

 

Thus before pressing the Auto New Model key the antenna

 

must be peaked on the required satellite’s main transmission

 

lobe. The peaking may be done in manual mode or

 

automatically using Search Mode.

 

On pressing Auto New Model the INTRAC will enter Learning

 

mode. After 24hrs of learning the orbit and building the model

 

the INTRAC will enter Tracking mode.
