The following steps provide the procedure for acquiring a satellite.
Manually move the antenna in the azimuth (scanning
•Scan in one direction until the amplitude continues to diminish and then scan in the opposite direction until the same condition occurs.
•Return to the position yielding the greatest amplitude.
