[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 5290, member: 175144"] From the thread it does sound as though there is something basic that is not working on the system 1) Is there any play anywhere in the system check carefully the following in this order, post and foundation - should be ROCK solid), canister bolts that clamp to the post (these will have to be loose when assembling but when tightening should not change the dish alignment), main tracking bolt on both top and bottom bearings, elevation bolt. 2) Is the post the one recommended for the antenna. If its too small in diameter the movement of the antenna when moving from East to West it will create some additional movement of the post and change the arc settings. 3) The focal point should be correct from your comments but the boresight may be out slightly. Check the corotor ring is the same distance to the edge of the dish all round. Hope this is of use [/QUOTE]
