lnb question

[outbackjack]

i have looked through the different manuals but it gets blurry after awhile with all the information. since i put an actuator on my dish i never moved the skew of the lnb from when it was fixed on one sat. with the polar mount should the skew now be back to zero like my ku dish? i didnt know if prime focus is different or not for skew when scanning the arc. thanks for any help

The LNB skew should be back to zero when the prime focus dish is at the top of the arc just like an offset design motorized dish.

I have a related question, when setting the dish to the top of the arc, is there a setting on the receiver or is this just done by eye sight?

The feed will line up with the highest(or lowest) point of the dish when it is aligned to your true south.
Just done by eye. And if need, fine tuned while on a sat/TP.
