Actuator on Elevation Bar
Any one ever try this ? It actually is working for me, Album in my profile with some details
Hope it keeps working,
Can adjust Elevation on the fly, or use presets for various parts of arc, and on a 10ft'er!

If you set the Dish properly, you never need to adjust the elevation.

I agree, a perfectly plumb pole is ideal but a few years back I had a setup that was moved by frost, something like this might have gotten me by till warmer weather when I was able to redesign.

It looks neat, but on a polar mount is there really a need? Elevation, once set for the location is "automatic" on a polar mount by design.

I've used my dual actuator dish for tracking inclined satellites. You'd also be amazed how much signal increase you can get with a click or two up or down, especially in the Ku band. Plus its a nice toy to play with if you're into the bells and whistles part of this hobby. Good luck.
