[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 279613, member: 175057"] It won't work on the correct latitude if the dish was not properly set up for due South in the first place, I cannot stress too strongly how important it is to comply with a few basic setup steps. [LIST=1] [1]Make sure that your mast/pole is perfectly plumb [2]Set your latitude on the motor to your actual latitude [3]By moving the whole assembly on the mast and the dish elevation, find your due South satellite [/LIST] If you don't have a convenient due South satellite, then in your case, drive the motor 3 degrees East on the motor scale and try and locate Sirius at 5 East. If you have USALS, then you can set your coordinates in the receiver and send it to Sirius, then find it using the method in point 3. [/QUOTE]
