My System: Topfield 5800 Echostar3000,DB7000, Relook 400S, Humax HDC2000, 55cm Fibo Gregorian dish with waveguide and Motek 2100 mod, 90cm Fibo Gregorian dish, 120cm Fibo Gregorian dish on a 1224 motor with waveguide

The Fibo dish on it's own mount is one of the easiest to set up. The scales are on the precision diecastings and are quite accurate.

The pole must be vertical, or if mounted on the wall, the mount must be set vertically.

Set the mount to the your lat. on the scale, set the dish to your lat. on the scale on the back of the dish. If set as accurately as you can, they usualy only then need minor tweaks. The dish will only be leaning back a few degrees.

dishpointer.com will show you exactly where your due south is, (and also the look angles for other sats), this is where the dish must look when the mount is at zero deg.
