I think that is horse feathers Bill. The Birdog looks for and locks onto the identifier beacon transmitted from one of the satellite's transponders. This unique ID beacon doesn't change with transponder content. At least that is my understanding. I know that one of my Birdogs has been successfully finding Nimiq 82 and 91 since 2002 without having to reconfigure the file. The other one (version US 2.0) needed a refreshed config file but then it worked OK.
