[QUOTE="a33, post: 1148834, member: 332642"] It could be either 1. motor-dish-LNBarm not aligned properly, 2. due south alignment not correct, 3. or an improper elevation/declinationoffset setting (as jeallen01 wrote), I would say. First checks: - where does the motor go on the Goto-Zero or GotoReference command? To exactly zero, or slightly off? - if on exactly zero, is the dish then exactly in line with the motor? and the LNB(arm) exactly in line with the dish? - if yes, did you use the USALS procedure to align east-south-west properly (as described by [USER=187442]@Mickha[/USER] ): [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/motor-setup.181167/#post-1139677"]Help Required - Motor setup[/URL] ? By the way: Did you use the modified motor angles, as given here: [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/motor-setup.181167/page-2#post-1139738"]Help Required - Motor setup[/URL] ? How did you measure them: on motor scale and dish elevation scale, or with an inclinometer (App)? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
