[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1103671, member: 176704"] FWIW, when I get relatively low SS on any sat, I find it useful to go into the settings and adjust the sat position azimuth by[I] very[/I] small amounts (say [B]0.1 deg[/B] at a time) to the East and then to the West to see if the SS & SQ then improve - that way I can sometimes "peak" the position for the "best" SQ, even if the SS doesn't increase. Having done that with the Gibby, I found that the optimum azimuth is around 0.1-0.2 deg East of the nominal on almost all sats except 45W where I need 0.4-0.5 deg - that tells me that the motor is pointing about that amount East of where it "should" be on the mast when set to my Southern-most sat (Thor, 0.8W). However, it would be almost impossible to actually make that small a correction by physically adjusting the motor position, and so it's staying where it is! [/QUOTE]
