If no strong satellite signal is found
at the selected frequency, the
screen will display:
Exit returns you to the "Sat
Frequency Scan" screen. Try the
process again, but using a different
symbol rate or FEC code.
This scan may take up to
10 minutes to complete.
The vessel must remain stationary
during this process.
To find a valid symbol rate and FEC
code, refer to an up-to-date satellite
information table. Data for satellites
stored in the antenna’s library is
available for download at
www.kvh.com/footprint. For other
satellites, you might refer to an
Internet resource such as
www.lyngsat.com or
www.satcodx.com (these sites are
not managed by KVH).
