What you can do: get the current position from the first successfully tuned transponder and save it for later comparisons (that's how I'm doing it). Apropos comparisons of sat positions: a simple "equals" will sometimes fail: e.g. on 5east you can find "4.8" and "5.0" in some NITs, and, IIRC, on 8west you sometimes get "8.2" in addition to "8.0".
