Thank you Phlatwound! I'll bet some pics up as soon as I get it set up the way I want it. :)

I have Signal! :-) . After troubleshooting the connections and settings I was able to get an 80% signal and 90% quality. The DMI diseqc switch I was using seems to be faulty since once I bypassed it and connected the lnb directly to the motor I was able to get a strong signal. Plus I had the...

Ok, so I got a bit a problem getting any kind of quality signal. My true south satellite appears to be Galaxy25 at 97w. I'm using my receiver as well as a generic signal finder to find the strongest signal. I was able to find a strong signal with my signal finder but my receiver never seems to...

Thank you for those links Anole. They'll come in handy if I ever need to fabricate a new mount for a dish in the future. Right now I have my dish mounted and have a good angle range as far as declination goes. My only problems now are finding the right angles and getting my motor not to stall on...

Well I have the dish setup and rotating. The drawback with my current configuration is that I can only rotate the dish 40degrees in either direction from 0 position without stalling when rotating back. To solve this I thought of flipping the motor but then west will rotate east and visaversa and...

That won't work Lak. The hole is only on one side and I won't be able to use the degree notches to measure against.

Thanks for that image mjac. If I do decide to fit another bracket onto my dish I'll consider that layout. So I tried rotating the tube 180 to allow for more upward angles of the dish. In that respect I succeeded. My only concern is that offset center of gravity will tax the motor too much...

Ok, so I tried to install the motor tube in the opposite side of the dish bracket and saw that it will not work since the tube is blocked by the bracket. Then I realized I actually did consider this before when I first started this project about 2 months or so ago. So there are a few options...

Hey Lak, Thanks for the informative reply. Yes the motor is set at latitude 32.8 measured with the triangle not the bolt. Sorry for the confusion in the illustration (it's changed). I measure the dish and the bracket at 12lbs. With the invacom lnb it shouldn't exceed 15lbs. I do need to...

I need some help with setting up the declination? (dish bracket) angle with my current setup. I'm mounting a channelmaster dish onto a motech sg-2100 motor. I had to flip the dish bracket to work with the motor so the bracket angles are upside down. heres the angle settings I'm working with...
