The RC2500 User Interface contains three gauges for displaying Azimuth, Elevation and Polarization 
position, a jog panel, two AGC outputs as well as a Satellite List. The Satellite list is automatically 
populated using the data previously setup in the RC2500. Selecting a satellite name from the Satellite 
List will begin an Auto Move to that saved satellite.
