incremented because the antenna is really still moving up.

The anti-reversal system keeps the antenna from rapidly changing direction. If the antenna has been
moving in a given direction, the 'Deadband CONFIG mode items specify the amount of time that the
system will wait before asserting the antenna drive lines to move the antenna in the opposite direction.
There are 2 different 'Deadband values specified - there are unique fast and slow speed values. If the
antenna has been moving fast, the 'Fast Deadband parameters specify the wait interval; if the antenna
has been moving slow, the 'Slow Deadband parameters specify the wait interval. Both 'Deadband values
are given in milliseconds.
