[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1109812, member: 415308"] Not quite sure what you mean Chris91. The motor unit needs to point due south, you can't set it to 20E and then rotate the mount so 20E points to due south. As long as your dish is centred on the stub, the longitude & latitude are entered correctly on the receiver, elevation and declination are roughly correct, and the pole is plumb - use USALS to send the motor to a receivable strong satellite (say 19.2E) and then rotate the motor unit on the pole until the signal is peaked. Then you can adjust elevation & declination to make the dish follow the arc. [/QUOTE]
