    Help installing a motorized system...

    It is easier if you use your receiver and a small TV right next to your dish to make the adjustments.The indicator on the receiver seems to work better then a signalmeter. Reinhold.

    SG 2100 motor.

    SG 2100 motor.

    I was thinking about getting an SG2100 motor,because the SM3D12 only turns 50deg.That lets out G10 for me.The specs say it does notbrespond to USALS.Is that the case?That would be a problem for me. Any trues to that? Reinhold.

    Aiming Dish Question

    It shoud not make any differance how high it is as long as you have a clear sightline to the sats.You are better off to take your receiver and tv out there to zero in your sats.The elevation angle of the dish is only a starting point.After that you slowly adjust the elevation up or down and turn...
