Removed motor, Help

[comfortably_numb]

Long story short I retired my motor today, after months of it proving unreliable and drifting off course. I'm trying to locate 103 and I'm having zero luck. I guess it's been so long that I've forgotten how to align a stationary dish. What am I doing wrong here?

LNB is a universal dual.

Since for some reason, the site won't let me edit my own post, where do you find your LNB skew and elevation degrees?

Got it, but it doesn't indicate skew?

Sure does, put in your coordinates, select 103w, and all the specs needed are on the bottom of the page after that

It does at the bottom if you choose your exact location and select 103W satellite.

I can't edit all of a sudden, site is going wonky again.

This is mine, but it won't format correctly:

Dishpointer Elevation says 44.6, does this look right?

 

[KE4EST]

Put the edge of that metal, in front of the bolt on about the 44.5 mark.

Like this?

Got it. Thanks, Mike(s)!

Glad you got it lined up and are receiving a signal. But I am not sure about the LNB type. Shouldn't it be set to 'Universal' instead of 'Standard'? (Based on post #1)

I set the LO to 10600 so it'll work like a Standard LNB

Glad to see the thread got fixed.

Yep, and I am glad I narrowed down what is causing the bug.....or at least part of it.
