[QUOTE="cwsat, post: 1148908, member: 417967"] I have marked the pole with a marker where 0.8W is. I have used dishpointer, the motorised section, to set the motor and dish up. The latitude is 52.6 here so that’s what the motor is set to. The dark motor instruction guide is wrong. If I set it using their calculations the dish is ‘miles’ off. With the dish at reference, I installed it dead center, all nuts tightened equally. LNB at zero. Set up USALS, sent the dish round to 0.8W, then moved the complete motor mount to Thor. Used my meter to peak the dish on 4K Heritage. Then sent it round to 28.2e - good levels. 42e, slightly down on what the 85cm was achieving on the meter. I have tried moving the black ultra about in the LNB holder to find the best focal point for the orbital. The Orbital isn’t as well built as the Gibertini that’s for sure but it’s a fair bit bigger.
