[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1110778, member: 416667"] Is there a way to check my line on sight without using an app? As I don’t think they’re giving me an accurate answer. I have the following method but I’m not sure if it is spot on. I was thinking, say if the satellite I want is at 21.8 degrees elevation based on my location and the azimuth is 130 degrees. Tan 21.8 is 0.4. So I face 130 degrees based on a compass. And if there is an obstruction in the way, for every 1m I am away from that obstruction I clear 40cm. So if I’m say 5m away and there’s an obstruction 4.5m high, I would have to have my dish at a height of at least 2.5m? [/QUOTE]
