Peaking Signal, Help needed!

[gadgtfreek]

I peaked mine yesterday. Was able to get the SS better.

I turned one way and then the other for azimuth, and then tinkered with elevation (which ended up being right as what dishpointer said) to get the best 119 SS. Then I tinkered with skew which ended up being mostly correct. Largest change was from tweaking azimuth I think.

I've always had to adjust skew, even with a plumb mast, if I didn't, 129w would be a lot lower, than if I did adjust it.

You may have a bent dish or bracket. I've never been able to get more than a point or two improvement and that usually caused at least one other adjustment.

LoL, if it is bent, it was bent out of the box.. my setup was brand new back then, I guess its always possible it was bent before they packaged it.
