[QUOTE="D4ftpunk, post: 1166789, member: 182463"] Went up today, triple checked everything. Noticed that when the motor is set to 0 on the receiver, its not exactly 0... adjusted for that a little the best I could... also, I adjusted the lat/lon in the receiver ever so slightly (maybe latitude by about 25 meters)... moved the dish using the receiver to either ends of the spectrum and got signal beyond what I could before.. picking up about 65% signal on 0.8W transponders, better on others... situation has improved some what than yesterday, I can now pickup transponders across the entire horizon... although I feel still not perfect, I'm happy with it for now. dish gets partially obstructed by solar panels (end of solar panel is in line with end of LNB.)... but I don't think raising the dish will offer much benefit given where the signal is coming from. as on dead straight ahead signals (5-13E for me) I seem ok. I'm getting the bug for this... I may end up with a 1.3m dish or similar on a tripod at the end of my garden if I'm not careful. [ATTACH type="full" alt="obstruction.png"]158476[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
