Select Base Satellite

This step in the initialization process selects the satellite that will be used to peak the beacon, compute the
look angles, and calibrate the azimuth and elevation resolvers. The screen normally displays visible satellites
in black font while satellites in red font are not visible from the current site location. However, during the first
time an antenna is initialized, all satellites may be displayed as red since the antenna limits have not been
set and valid resolver readings have not been set. Selecting a satellite that is red will not cause a problem.
