Overview
The RC3000 Satellite Locator and RC3050 3-Axis Jog Controller are designed for use with mobile
satellite uplink vehicles (also referred to as satellite news vehicles - SNV's). These products represent
design evolution of the popular RC8097 Satellite Locator.
The RC3050 is a microprocessor-based instrument that controls antenna motion from a front panel
keypad. A liquid-crystal-display shows antenna position and position-limit status simultaneously. Self-
contained drive electronics eliminates the need for external drive enclosures. The 3050 can be supplied
with an optional hand-held remote control, (option RC3050HRC), and the ability to auto-deploy and auto-
stow (option RC3050ASD).
In addition to the features of the RC3050, the RC3000 is an antenna controller which can incorporate
sensors that allow it to calculate the antenna pointing solution (azimuth, elevation and polarization
angles) required to intercept a given satellite. It incorporates an electronic compass option, RC3000FG,
that allows the controller to determine the vehicle's magnetic heading and a GPS receiver option ,
