[QUOTE="Mark in Portugal, post: 782198, member: 382160"] Hi all; I've just got my new 1.8 meter primary focus dish bolted to the roof. I've lined it up using a handheld GPS [marked a point 150 meters away, lined it by sight] and my adjustable builder's level. Tomorrow I'll connect it to my receiver [vu+ duo] and attempt to fine tune it. LNB is invacom quad. This is my first time, so please be gentle... I have a cheapo analogue signal meter; I happen to have an oscilloscope. Does anyone know if that can be used? I don't have a portable TV I can use for tuning, or a helper to shout at me from the TV in the living room. The LNB and feed horn can be moved in and out, skew should be 27 degrees. The rings of the feedhorn can be screwed in or out a bit on the mount tube; is that an adjustment or just some extra thread left on the tube? Is there a "best order" to make the adjustments in? Photos to follow. [/QUOTE]
