Skew on motorized systems

**EDW** · 13-09-2007

I am right in thinking that with you leave the skew set to zero on a KU band motorized system? Reason is I having big probs with Foxturk on 33e and thought I might try fiddling a bit but seem to remember that motorized dishes set their own skew at they turn and tilt.

You can always try, a small adjustment may improve it, I'm sure that the orientation of different satellites can vary by a small amount.

Are you sure you H-H motor arc is working properly?

Also due to manufacturing tolerances, LNB's can be the odd deg. or two out, can make a difference on weak signals.

My arc is very nice, thank you very much. Sadly, my TM9100 is pants.
