Anyone have a picture of how the declination bolts are fitted into the mount ring on a Unimesh 16 ft dish? Just need to see how that part of the antenna is mounted.
Thanks

I don't have a 16 footer but a 12 and 10. The 12 has the decination at the top with a slide plate with very lightly engraved numbers, my 10 footer has it at the bottom and I believe no numbers. Pouring rain and dark now, will take a picture tomorrow.

Thanks Comptech, Mine has a slide plate, just want to verify if the screw that holds it goes somewhere in the slide plate or in the hole that is below that slideplate

Just reread my post - The Unimesh is a 12 footer not 16. Comptech any pics of that declination screw to mount will definitely help. Thanks

I still have a picture coming, my mother fell and broke her Pelvis and is the hospital. Had to go get her dog and bring her home with me and it was already dark and pouring down rain. Will try tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that. Sending best wishes for a fast and full recovery.

Sorry to hear that Comptech, no worries. I hope she gets better soon.

Who said trees were a problem? Off topic, but I can see 87W to 125W with this scenario.

Thank you CompTech. What declintion angle does that equal to? I figure I must be doing something wrong. Here are pics pics of my setup. This equals to a declination of 2.72 degrees. Just looks to high compare with yours which should have a declination angle higher than that. I am in Puerto Rico.

Do you substract the declination offset angle to the latitude to obtain the elevation angle or the elevation angle equal to the latitude?

For the modified angles:
modified latitude angle + modified declination angle = total declination angle = (90 - total elevation angle)

or:
modified axis elevation angle - modified declination angle = total elevation angle

Is this what you wanted to know?

Or do you want to know the relation between the latitude angle and the modified latitude angle?
