Hello Alan,
With a map printed from dishpointer.com or your compass, locate a landmark as far away as possible that aligns with the target satellite (as we discussed on the phone, 97w). Work only 10-15 degrees either side of the landmark.
Place the A3 on satellite 97w KU and select transponder 12152.
Set the LNBF skew. Make sure it is the correct rotation direction. In Washington state, standing in front of the dish the rotation will be clockwise (to the right.
Set the dish elevation angle. While watching a monitor visible from the dish SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY pan the dish towards the East 10-15 degrees then West 10-15 degrees. Any change in the Q (Signal Quality) reading, stop and wait a moment or slowly reverse the pan slightly. If no reading is noted, increase or decrease the dish elevation angle in one degree increments and repeat the SLOW panning motion. You are painting the sky with SLOW horizontal brush strokes!
Good luck!
