In dynamic applications, the original StarFire satellite must become 2 degrees
lower in elevation than the next available StarFire satellite before a transition
occurs. This is done to prevent hysteresis between two competing satellites.
The Satellite Locations window lists the user-defined satellite on line 7:
If no satellite is user-defined, the ID is User and all data is n/a (see Figure 105).
Figure 105: Satellite Locations Window – No User-Defined Satellite
If a StarFire satellite is user-defined, a specific ID is displayed with information about the
