The following advanced settings enhance the performance of the
TracVision antenna system:
• Sleep Mode (see

• Sidelobe Mode (see
Although the factory default settings work well in most cases, you can
change any of them at the web interface (go to Settings > Advanced
Settings).
When you are moving, the antenna's motors need to run continuously
to keep the antenna pointed at the satellite and locked onto the peak
signal. However, if you are stationary, the motors don't need to run
since the antenna's orientation to the satellite doesn't change. In these
stationary conditions, Sleep mode locks the antenna in place and shuts
down the motors to conserve power and silence the antenna.
KVH recommends that you keep Sleep mode set to On (default
setting).
Linear satellite TV channels can be carried on any of a satellite's four
combinations of frequency band and polarization. Since only one of
these four signals can be delivered to a receiver at any one time, the
receiver sends a voltage/tone on its coax cable to request the band/
polarization for the currently selected channel:
