[QUOTE="GotMyBusPass, post: 46754"] A fewpoints. The SG2100 motor has two scales. on one side latitude and for you would be 52. on other side elevation, which is 90-latitude (90-52) which for you is 38 (I'm the same lat as you 52north). For the SG2100 motor the dish angle is 40-declination angle for 52north which is 7.47degrees, hence dish angle should be 40-7.47= 32.52. These are the readings that I use with a SG2100 motor and 85cm dish and I am at 52north and 1east. If your pole is "dead plumb" and the dish centre line runs through the centre line on the motor support arm then drive the dish to 1 west and slowly swing the dish and rotor locked together until you get a signal. Nip up the bolts and try a small adjustment in elevation. when you have the maximum signal level, I use BBC world on that satellite, tighten up all the nuts making sure that the signal level does not drop. you should be AOK for all the other satellites that are viewable from your location. If you want to get rid of the analogue on the Technomate leave out the analogue loopthrough, the receiver will still log the transmission but you will not get a picture. GMBP:) PS if your motor is similar to the STAB your dish elevation will be about 22-23 degrees. The Technomate software is usually out of date and you might have to manually input TP info into your receiver. Cheers GMBP:) [/QUOTE]
