In dynamic applications, the original StarFire satellite must become 2 degrees
lower in elevation than the next available StarFire satellite before a transition
occurs. This is done to prevent hysteresis between two competing satellites.

The Satellite Locations window lists the user-defined satellite on line 7:

 If no satellite is user-defined, the ID is User and all data is n/a (see Figure 105).

Figure 105: Satellite Locations Window – No User-Defined Satellite

 If a StarFire satellite is user-defined, a specific ID is displayed with information about the

satellite (see Figure 106). The StarFire user-defined satellite does not require a StarFire
license.
