how far east and west can you go, as i think you get limited with the orbit tracking motor to the west is it ?
You don't need orbit tracking if you aren't tracking inclined orbit satellites.

If you installed the motor correctly you should peak all satellites at max signal level.

An elevation motor only comes usable when you have dish of 3 meter or above as the beamwidth is so narrow and the ground is moving a bit which makes it necessary
