reported while the antenna is auto-acquiring.
a. If the signal level reading is saturated at 9.99V the user may lower the
magnification to avoid unoptimized pointing.
b. If signal level reading is below the threshold during pointing, the user may lower
the signal level threshold or raise the magnification to avoid failure in pointing.
