Hi all, Been gone for two weeks ,Looks like i missed out on all the fun the other night here on Satguys.Question? Picked up a 7.5 mesh dish with C/Ku lnbf (single feed) Am more interested in the fta/ku sats then C band, Since im a green horn at this,and to save my self a few hours in the back yard, What is the easyes't way to align the BUD? Thank you, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS to the Members here on SatelliteGuys.

Here's a good one to go by:
Footprints by Dish Size - Adjusting the Polar Mount for Prime Focus Antenna - C/Ku-Band Satellite Systems - Tuning, Tracking, Azimuth, Elevation, Declination Angles, F/D Ratio, Focal Distance, Inclinometer, LNB/Feedhorn Assembly, Actuator Assembly, C

That will explain it as good as I can type it.
Come back with more questions, it's not as hard to do as you think, just takes
patience.

I worked backwards with Kevin's bud, rotated it with the actuator until elevation was correct for AMC-6, then panned the dish until we got quality on the NASA transponder. Of course, this all assumed the dish was correctly aimed and set before it was taken down.
