My System: 'Fortec Star Passion' (& a dead SL65) One of them big Woks on the outside, and a thingy that moves it about a bit.
1.1m dish set up

I have just upgraded my dish to 1.1m

Mounted between TK Brackets.

The pole is 100% level with the spirit level, in all directions.
Set my motor to 52.5N and tuned the STB to Thor on USALS, setting the motor to point to Thor.

Fine tuned the STB to best signal for Thor by moving motor E-W on the pole, and elevation of the dish (on the dish adjustment itself).

Quickly got a good signal on Thor. and set motor E-W and dish elevation
till I peaked the signal.

But driving the motor to Astra 28e (or any other satellite), with USALS, there is no signal received.

Thought I had got everything right, but somethings wrong?

Any suggestions?
