European Tri-Sat Mode Setup
This section explains how to configure the TracVision system to track
three satellites within predefined linear satellite groups for use in
European locations (see Figure 3-22). For operation instructions, refer
to “Changing Channels and Switching Between Satellites (Linear
Versions)” on page 21.
Figure 3-22 European Tri-Sat Groups - Satellites/TracVision Position
NOTE: To enable automatic switching, the receiver must be set up to match
the TracVision system’s satellite position settings (A, B, or C). Refer to
“Linear Receiver Configuration” on page 25 for more information.
Step 1 - Configure the European Tri-Sat Group
Use the flowchart in Figure 3-23 on page 49 if you need to configure
the TracVision system for European Tri-Sat Mode.
NOTE: Be sure to record the skew angle (the average skew for all three
satellites) that is displayed during this procedure. You will need this
information to adjust the TracVision system’s skew angle. See “Adjusting the
Skew Angle (Linear Versions)” on page 31 for more information on setting
the skew angle.
