V. Set AZ/EL Limits
Caution: In LIMITS mode the user has unrestricted movement of the
antenna, there are no software azimuth or elevation limits, and antenna
jammed sensing does not take place. When moving the antenna in LIMITS
mode, an assistant should be stationed at the antenna to ensure that the
antenna does not move past a physical limit. Note also that the CW and
CCW polarization keys are active.
