RC3000 Antenna Controller | Chapter 3 | Detailed Operation |
several factors to take into consideration. If the range is too narrow, it might not be able to compensate for a heading error. If the range is too wide, it will take the unit slightly longer to lock up, although this is usually not a significant amount of time. There might also be certain situations in which two satellites will be at a given elevation within that specified wider range, and the RC3000 will position the antenna at the point of the strongest signal, even though it is not the desired satellite. This value can be changed at any time. It is recommended that the narrowest scan range that results in consistently locating the desired satellites be used.
Following the completion of the SCAN operation, the RC3000 will move to MANUAL mode. As in the case of the basic LOCATE, the user should peak and confirm the identity of the satellite.
