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 RC4000 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 RC4000 will move to MANUAL mode. As in the
case of the basic LOCATE, the user should peak and confirm the identity of the satellite.
