On the motor it has 1 setting. the top of the motor looking down is showing the arms position when it mover from 90 east to 90 west. this is not settable merely for your observation. obviously i should have the arm set to the middle ie 0 position so it is straight ahead. The other setting is at the side of the motor and goes from 0 to 90 in increments 0,,,,5,,,,10,,,,15 etcthis i believe is for the latitude that i set for my area, correct? i am at latitude 55.52 north and 4.17 west.the instructions that came with the motor tell me that the latitude of 55 corresponds to an elevation of 55.61 and a declination of 7.11. what do i set the motor too? is it 55? i have an inclinometer. do i deduct the 7 inclination from the 55 latitude on the motor? or is it 26.1 degrees as 2olds link to the smwlink software said when looking for 1 degree w satellite intelsat 707 ??? is the 26.1 degrees set atall? is it set on the dish when aligned true south to find the satellite with the motor at my latitude of 55? or is the dish set to 55 and the motor then the 7 declination taken off the motor or the dish?My main confusion is how is the dish set at the very beginning. what exactly isthe azimuth of the dish? the instructions with the motor say it should be set to 0 is that straight up/down vertical to the ground. is the motor also  straight at this point as the dish will not fit if it is.my instructions say:the rotating axis is factory preset to 0 so the azimuth of the dish must also be 0 (0 as in what number on the dish from 0 to 60?)and of the motor?it says:place an inclinometer on the body of the mount and set this angle as follows.angle of mount=(elevation angle) (which is?)place a inclinometer on the back of the antenna plate and set this angle as follows:angle of dish=(elevation angle)minus - (offset angle of the dish) (what is the offset angle?)minus - (declination angle)help help help :-(thankyou</blockquote>
