Signal problem....

[srgrounds]

Hello, i'm north of the twin cities and need a little help. I recently moved and had to remount my fortec with 2100 motor and i can't seem to get it set right. I'm fine from 91w all the way over to 129w, but once i try for 89w it drops way down to about 32 quality and anything east of 89w i get nothing. Now before i loosen everything up and go crazy, what adjustment would you recommend? Thanks for any input.

Are you using USALS?

 

[srgrounds]

Yes.

 

[Lak7]

91 west is your True South Sat?

 

[srgrounds]

i'm at about 94 so i use 93w for true south and that comes in fine.

Did you enter your current USALS info into the Receiver?
Did you Set your True South with the motor at Zero, move via USALS, the tweak the 1 degree difference? Or Did you Drive to 93 via USALS first a Peak Signal?

On 89 west you are getting some Quality, can you drive the Dish via DiSEqC 1.2 and get a better signal?

i just drove it to 93 and peaked it. I should be on 0 when on 93, correct?

 

[Lak7]

Technically, it should be at 1, 'cause you are at 94 west.
Can you try Driving to 89 west via USALS, and peaking on 11955 V 19532?

Got it Lak7, set it to zero and moved whole assembly to 93w and now it follows arc good. Thanks for your help.
