Description	Used to search a specific area of sky for the strongest signal
	on the beacon frequency.
	The antenna may be driven to the nominal co-ordinates of the
	required satellite by either the Goto Position or Goto Satellite
	commands or manually. Alternatively the Az & El co-
	ordinates can be entered on this screen.
	Using Menu Key 6 (Next Field) and the numeric keys the
	satellite's position and beacon frequency may be entered.
	The search box size and the antenna dwell time are also
	entered in the same manner.
	The box size parameters are either side of the nominal angle
	thus entering 2° will cause a 4° scan.
	The dwell time is the time that the antenna will remain at each
	step. It is the lock time of the beacon receiver. For the IBR-L
	(The Signal Processors supplied Integrated Beacon Receiver)
	the default dwell time of 25 seconds is correct.
	Once all the co-ordinates are set pressing ENTER will start
	the search. The antenna will drive to the nearest corner of
	the search box before commencing the search pattern.
