General
Data on the ship's heading is needed for the antenna autotracking
system to operate, and is continuously supplied by the ship's gyro
compass. The direction data is automatically updated as the heading
alters.
Saturn Bm uses the gyro signal for antenna tracking.
When using the Saturn Bm for the first time, the external gyro course
must be entered manually. See
