Upon entering the Point state, the DAPT display reads:
where
S
or
L
indicates either the “short” or “long” time
constant filter respectively, and
SQF
is a value from 0 - 255.
The left SQF value in row 2 is the highest recorded value
during the current phase; the value at right is the current
value. For example, the actual display may appear as follows:
In this example, the short filter is in use (indicated by the
S
in
the top row). The highest recorded SQF value is 171 points,
and the current SQF reading is 94 points.
2. Choose either the long or the short filter by pressing Toggle
(button 2). Each press of this button toggles the selection.
3. Wait for the SQF reading to settle on a value, then use the
appropriately sized wrench for the antenna you are pointing
to adjust the antenna azimuth and elevation as shown in
Figure 8, until you achieve the highest possible SQF value.
