whitch should i use?

whitch should i use as i get mixed up and comfused when trying to get asignal with a compass?
Azimuth (true): 220.8°
Azimuth (magn.): 241.0°
i forget whitch 1 to use.

it is True to use True!

it is True to use True!

I do not follow the logic of that --- Magnetic is the compass magnet!

If you are using a compass use 241, your magnet declination from true North is 10.2 degrees.

you have to use magnetic azimuth. With that much of a difference between true and magnetic it will save headaches

Sorry! Guess i missunderstood the original question! I go with all the above.

Without trying to sound TOO obvious, why not look at dishpointer and see what they recommend? You ~should~ be able to see references that you can use without even touching a compass, and with a little back and forth movement you should be able to home in on the sat you are trying to locate.

It will also tell you which direction to rotate your LNB, and how much to get the best signal for that satellite.

Just my opinion, your's may vary.
