[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 1155790, member: 187442"] It all depends on your location, and especially your Longitude position. With USALS it's easier, as you input your Latitude, and Longitude, into your receiver, then send your dish, to a chosen satellite, and the dish moves East, or West, to an accurate position, for setting up. With the 1224, or other 36v motors, you need to estimate. If you go to dishpointer.com, and type in your postcode, use an App, GPS, or other method of finding your correct Longitude, you can soon find your Longitudal position. If your Longitude is negative, like - 2.6, that equates to 2.6 degrees West, so before aligning to 0.8W, you need to move the motor about 1.8 degrees East, so that when your dish is aligned to 0.8W, then your motor will be pointing at 2.6 degrees West. If your Longitude position is poitive, 2.6, then that equates to 2.6 East, so your motor/dish needs to move West about 1.8 degrees, always so that 0, on your motor, is pointing at your Longitudal position.
