Search Message
First line of the display will be comprised of:
Sat1, Sat2, Sat3, Sat4, Sat5 or Sat6.
NAME12 is the 6 character name of the satellite being searched for (1 of 6 saved satellites). If satellite
information has been entered (see SETUP MODE) the name of the selected saved satellite(s) will be
displayed.
1234 will be the actual value of signal level being received (AGC).
Second line of the display may display any one of the following search messages:
Search Delay ## - Number value while the antenna is delaying.
Search @ EL 35 - System is conducting a linear search at the Elevation angle displayed.
1 Search Wait - Indicates that a signal has been detected and the antenna is peaking the signal
level.
2 NID HHHH EL ## - Will be displayed whenever a satellite signal is found. This message is
comprised of Network ID and the Elevation for the satellite being targeted or which satellite has
been found. HHHH is the 4 digit HEX value of the Network ID reported by the Satellite
Identification Receiver in the PCU. If satellite information has been previously saved and
matches the satellite found, the system will immediately go into TRACKING mode and display
this information. If this is NOT the desired satellite the system will continue searching by
displaying “Search Next UP” or “Search Next DN”.
3 Search Next UP - Will be displayed whenever the system conducts a search for the next
satellite UP (CW/Right) from the satellite location it was previously at. This search may be
initiated automatically or when the operator presses the NEXT key.
