Tone: higher pitch = better. Speech reads the SNR every few seconds.
The three beacons are the only signals guaranteed to be on the transponder, so they are the reference for pointing and polarisation. Values are per 250 Hz bin; a well-pointed 60 cm dish shows the PSK beacon well above 10 dB here. Work in small steps and wait two readings each time. back to the monitor
