First off, I wanted to make a new post to make sure everyone that has offered their help and advice to me sees this. If needed, it can go with the other post.
Anyway, THANK YOU EVERYONE! My motor install went PERFECT! I have never had a project (other than playing with the Primestars) go so smooth! The motor install was a snap, and I never swore, not even once!
I started out by seeing how far west my Primestar woud go. I stopped at IA7 - 129w as that is the farthest west I wanted to go. No problem! So, since my pole I have in the ground for my Primestar was dead on plumb, I decided to put the motor set up there. So, I took the Fortec 80cm down off the shed roof, took off the Primestar, and mounted the motor and 80cm there. Got all the settings set, pointed motor/mount, put in my lat and long, told it go to IA6, tweaked a hair (az and elv) and boom! Tightened everything, went to all my satellites I had before (changed menu settings of course), and all the satellites are dead on, just as strong as they were when dish was stationary, and very strong signals. WOW, EASY! Of course I had great help! THANKS ALL!
Now, I need to go get some f connectors and shorten some cables, caulk some holes in the shed, and get some cement to fill the pole with. Of course I am starting at the top of the satellite list and scanning now
WAY COOOL!!!!!!
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE HELP ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
