The LOCATION mode allows the user to set the latitude, longitude, heading and pitch/roll of the antenna
for subsequent use in calculating pointing angles to satellites. The first screen that appears shows the
current mount position used in the RC4080. Also shown are the source that was used to acquire the
current position data. If any field was not already populated, *** would be shown.
