Description This facility does not have a screen of its own. It is a function
enabled by a menu key on the New Mode menu.
Auto New Model is used when it is required to track a new
satellite. It causes the INTRAC to clear the existing model (if
there is one) and start to build a new model of the orbit of the
satellite whose beacon signal it is receiving.
Thus before pressing the Auto New Model key the antenna
must be peaked on the required satellite’s main transmission
lobe. The peaking may be done in manual mode or
automatically using Search Mode.
On pressing Auto New Model the INTRAC will enter Learning
mode. After 24hrs of learning the orbit and building the model
the INTRAC will enter Tracking mode.
