ok guys please bear with me, this is my 1st time that will be installing a motorized system( Geosat90cm with gs120 motor) so i am sure i will be adding to this thread throughout the day, i am trying to get a jump start on this job and was already outside with compass in hand and deciding which trees must come down.. now my true south is about 193 degrees, heres my 1st dilema,,do i understand that point is going to be the center of my dishes travel, so with SBS6 at 74w being the closest sat....so what if i dont want the sats that are lower in degree less than 74 , ok, what if the sats that are past the furthest travel capapbilties of the motor if centered are ones i really want?well thats 1st thing i need to think about, i am still deciding where to mount , but if dish does not have to travel in the direction of less than 74, i may have really good spot,i have a great out in the open spot, but PSB from looking at a pic in another thread may have thought it to be too far,,any which way, i am gonna have one very long run, and will address that later unless anyone wants to throw some thoughts on power inserters/signal boosters and such thanks
also.. have a chicken before the egg question, from all you guys that have installed i am sure there is a helpful hint that you went thru with trial and error,,,, which order do i attach to the post, i am assuming the motors elv bracket and post clamps are 1st, but after that, do attach the motor head into the lnb arm/post clamp befor after i attach the dish, or do i put the motor head onot the elv bracket and then with dish fully assembled slid on, or do i attach everything but the dish face itself and after the motor and lnb arm with dishes elv brack, do i then attachs the dish face????
