The gain function will operate in Automatic or Manual mode. In Automatic mode, the gain function will
be smooth and monotonic, i.e. the gain value from one gain point to the next will be equal to or greater
than the previous gain point. The Auto gain servo will adjust the gain of the signal based upon the antenna
response at the antennas current location and prevent the signal display from saturating. The User may
adjust the individual gain point values by changing the gain mode to Manual.

Figure 64: Gain Mode MANUAL Gain Points = 3.

When using more than four (4) gain points the SIR 30 will display a down arrow that enables the User to
scroll down to gain points 5 through 8.
