Digiwav SG-2100 motor
Fortec 33" dish
Captive Works CW-2100S
For Tucson, AZ, the values for 97W are:
Elevation 49.6
AZ 155.3
LNB Skew -20.7
Latitude 32.2
Longitude -110.8
Without the motor, on a fixed mount, I had an installer use a birdog to dial in 97W so I know it works.
Now the fun part. I attached a post to the side of the house and made sure it was plumb (that took quite awhile). Actually, I used the post from one of the pay services that I no longer subscribe to.
The elevation can be affected in two ways. First, the motor assembly and second, the hardware associated with attaching the dish to the motor arm. According to the Digiwav instructions, the elevation angle setting for the motor assembly for Tucson, AZ is 58. My understanding on how to use this number is with the motor and dish pointed due south, then set the elevation to 58, is that correct?
The second part is setting the elevation associated with the attaching the dish to the motor post (arm). What do I use? How is that calculated? Do I set that with the disk pointed due south?
Once that is done, I understand I am supposed to use the motor to move the dish to approximately 97W (155.3) and then fool with both AZ and elevation till I get 97W dialed in?? Yes? Then at that point I have an established known point should be able to use the dish motor to get to 123W yes??
Thanks.

When you reset your motor, it is necessary to have it at ZERO at the time. Resetting it is telling the motor to load its default sat positions, and use the current position as ZERO, or true south.
Once the motor is initialized at ZERO, it should respond to USALS commands and go to that position.
Make sure that your longitude is WEST and your Latitude is NORTH . The receiver may well default to EAST longitude and you'll have to change that.

I've been doing this for just over 3 years now, and at first, there was a TON of things to keep straight. Once you get confidence in your receiver, and how to troubleshoot, you'll sleep better.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.
