So which is it 22 or 30? |
To be honest I didn't take any notice of my manual, as the numbers it was coming out with were nothing like what I expected. What I did last time I set mine up was to measure the angle from vertical that the motor shaft is at when pointing at 1W and then simply added this angle to the required elevation for 1W and set the dish to that using the scale on the back.
I then re-adjusted it for maximum signal.
If your view to 1W is blocked try the closest one to it, like 5W for example.
Just motorise the dish there using USALS and andjust the motor azimuth, and dish elevation as you would for 1 west.
