The satellite library in the TracVision antenna 
includes two slots for user-defined satellites 
(USER 1 and USER 2). You can program one or 
both of these library slots for any satellite you 
wish that is not already set up in the library. 
To configure a user-defined satellite, you will 
need to program into the antenna the following 
information about the satellite (see Figure 34):
• Satellite name
• Satellite longitudinal position
• Transponder information for all
combinations of polarization and band:
• vertical high
• vertical low
• horizontal high
• horizontal low
OR
• right
• left
• Frequency
• Symbol rate
• FEC code rate
• Network ID
• Decoder type
NOTE: You can find this satellite information on the 
web at 
(neither website is affiliated with KVH).
