[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 5321, member: 175277"] Vincor - I am suprised that they would agree that you could mount a 3.0 mtr dish on a 3 inch mount, even with the bracing. Has Channel Hopper has identified this is a major consideration you have on your dish a beam width of less than 1.0 degree. If the pole is not 100% vertical and without any movement from the wind, then you will never fully align the dish. You should now be able to use the chapperral receiver to drive the dish. hook it up but check the direction and limit switches first- prefer on the ground. make sure some one can watch as you drive the dish to make sure that you do not make contact with the mount. you do not need to hook up the Co-rotor while you check this out. Once you have done this, I would suggest you hook up the chapperal, and co-rotor and check out the current dish alignment. and then report back on what you can recieve either in KU or C band.
