The following variations of detected sources are possible:

No signal = No signal detected.

SAT1 = Signal from satellite 1 detected.

SAT2 = Signal from satellite 2 detected.

ground transmission = Signal from ground antennas detected.

SAT1 & SAT2 = Signals from satellite 1 and 2 detected.

SAT1 & ground transmission = Signals from satellite 1 and ground antennas detected.

SAT2 & ground transmission = Signals from satellite 2 and ground antennas detected.

All = Signals from all sources detected.
