    fortunately for me IA-8 is bang on 100% my TS. So if I set my motor on 0 and move the assembly juuuuuuust enough to bring the bird in as well as possible (currently with USALS movement it is coming in at roughly 60% strength and 36% quality). then the best arc will be achieved. right?

    But Tron... I would think that by setting the motor at 0 and then manually move the assembly to be in true alignment with IA-8 then the movement of the motor utilizing USALS (which I use now) will be able to hit all birds properly... right now g10r comes in at 40% strength and 5% quality...

    just added IA-8... TOO EASY... Thanks for the guidance... I'm getting 72 strength with 42 quality... still have to venture up on the roof (-23c with the wind chill today)... maybe friday I'll do some tweaking up there.

    comes with a program called channel master.... eek.... got a WHOLE lot of reading to do... I'm sure I can't do anything that a factory reset couldn't fix afterwards right? :)

    just flipping through my list of birds in antenna setup..... no listing on my 2700A for IA-8 <groan> unless someone knows how to add birds to the stock list I guess I'll have to use AMC3 to properly align my dish (still would be better with IA-8... ho hum)

    right then. IA-8 then I'll be good to go for everything? I'm also thinking of streamlining things and attach my BEV receiver and then I can get rid of my 18". My family are NOT fans of dish farms... lol... geesh... I only have three!?!

    thanks men..... playyymaster, what do you mean by tilt? If I "tilt" to bring in IA8 will I still be in alignment with the belt to get most of the other birds (ie IA6 and g10r)?

    so playyymaster.... I live in Thunder Bay, ON.... what would you (or anyone else... PSB) say would be the best bird to set up first alignment starting at zero on my motor. I recently used echo at 119 and it seemed to be okay but g10 is very low strength.
