3.2.2.4 Store
The STORE mode saves a satellite’s name, azimuth and elevation positions, horizontal and vertical
polarization positions and RF band in memory for use in later RECALLing the satellite.
polarization positions and RF band in memory for use in later RECALLing the satellite.
When the STORE mode is entered, it is assumed that the user has peaked up on the satellite. The first
screen that appears asks the user to confirm the name of the satellite to be stored. The name displayed
is that of the latest satellite “selected” in LOCATE mode.

If the satellite data is correct(<1>), the user will next be asked to store values for horizontal and vertical
polarization positions. While this screen is displayed, the Pol CW and Pol CCW keys are active allowing
the user to peak up in this axis. The “5” key is also active to initiate a 90 degree “cross polarization”
movement. Note that the user will need to tune the receiving equipment to correct frequencies for the
different polarizations. To store a polarization position, press the H key for horizontal and V for vertical.
When a polarization is stored, the display for that orientation will change from “NOT SET” to SET.

If the STORE function is completed correctly, the mount’s position will saved (see POSITION 3.2.2.7). If
the position is saved, the user will be asked to verify the position upon power up of the RC3000. If the
mount has moved, STORED’d data will no longer be valid since the azimuth and elevation angles will no
longer be correct.
