No. Ku deploy is what rotates the entire Ku band antenna (called the Deployed Assembly, DA). This is done by placing both PLB MECH PWR switches in the ON position and then placing the KU ANT switch in DPY position.So for a simple KU. activation would be swing out 113 degrees. Then the dish rotates around?
The rotation of the dish to the so called "Master Index Pulse" position (this makes the gimbals seek out their null positions (0°)) happens during KU-BD ACTIVATION once the KU BD PWR switch is placed in the ON position. This switch isn't on the R13L panel but rather the A1U panel.
