[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 5323, member: 175277"] Your old dish was a mesh panel as a conseqence upto around the 60 mph wind gust point the load on your mount would have been much less. Did you ever experience a loss of signal from your old dish during higher wind gusts ? As we highlighted if the pole is moving from vertical when you rotate the dish then potentially you will never align the dish. It seams like if the chapperal receiver can still not drive the dish then maybe there is a mechanical problem at the dish itself- how easy is it to move the dish by hand on the mount? Next with the chapperal on the ground hook up the 36" jack arm to the back panel and check that it will move the jack - make sure you have a friend to hold the clamp support bracket to stop the whole jack rotating. put the jack back on the dish and then check see if you move the dish ? The normal output is 36VDC at between 3amps and 5 amps, you can check the output of the receiver with a meter if you have one ? you can perhaps use asmall lamp 110 volt, you should see some light from it. but a meter is much better option.
