Step carefully because I noticed that for some reason, the SAA command claims that my Tbolt is getting good signal strength from straight north +- ~35 degrees! Pyro, any thoughts on that? Is it LH or the Tbolt that's confused? SAS and SAD correctly show no such nonsense.
Also, Pyro, any idea when we can expect a new official version of LH? It sounds like there has been a lot of improvements since the last release.
You are probably actually getting the highest signal levels from the north. SAA shows signal level vs azimuth, regardless of the satellite elevation. Just because you don't have good satellite coverage to the north does not mean that those that are to the north don't produce good signal levels. Also, you can have obstructions, etc to the south.
SAW weights the azimuth values by the inverse of the elevation angle. The outline of the SAW plot is very similar to the SAS signal level color map and better shows where the best signal levels are coming from and local obstructions.
The SAE command will show the satellite signal level vs elevation. It will put a marker on the plot where the signal level falls off rapidly (and a marker at the current elevation mask). Set your elevation mask to 0 (or a low value), clear the satellite signals (CS command), let it run for a few (eight?) hours, and check the SAE command. Set the elevation mask angle to the indicated value. The &a command will also set the signal level mask for most receivers (on the Tbolt it also sets the OCXO gain, TC, and damping values).
I hope to get the next release out in a couple of weeks. I need to finish documenting the support for some of the new devices (like rubidiums, HP5071, freq counters, etc) and the new commands.
BTW, try the ZU command. It will show all 4 signal level plots at the same time.
