[QUOTE="Manikm909, post: 1125347, member: 415764"] ok thanks mate- i think that confirms the angle should be around 51/52 - i think my issue is probably that i rotated whole polar mount when centered and aimed at 1w - peaked. i need to be just off that. one tip i learned from the SSS vids - is to loosen the bolts on the actuator arm - move the mount 1 degree to the east - and then use the actuator to "steer the dish" through the ARC - and it should then peak at 1w - then i can try other sats. now i have confirmation on that polar mount main axis - i can leave that alone, and just concentrate on dish angle (declination) - but i have a setting labelled for that so should be straight forward. my annoying sat meter is annoying as you have to choose REGION - so it has 1w - 90w as one region, and 1e - 90e - i have to change when testing arc....makes it a slow and cumbersome process. H-H motors seem far simpler, lol - u still got that 1224 ? how much... [/QUOTE]
