Excellent!!! Getting it pointed south seems to be the sticking point for many. Glad to have been some help. Have fun and come back often.

Its a good idea to find and store your true south satellite WITHOUT the motor first. (I would also wait until you get a linear LNB to more accurately line up to the Clarke Belt)

Then when you do come to put on the motor here are the angles to use.........


Motor elevation = 56º

Dish elevation (when used with motor) = 24.5º

I have a question on the Motor elevation = 56º. Is this reffering to the scale on the right side labeled "elevation" on the motor? There are two sets of scales on the motor. Can someone please clarify this?

Thanks

 

[PSB]

One side should say ELEVATION and the other should say LATITUDE.

Yes, for motor elevation you would use the "elevation" scale on the right side. The scale on the left side is your "latitude", which is pretty much 90º minus elevation.

Edit: GRRRR, PSB beat me by a couple of seconds!
