Hi Guys,
I am trying to duplicate the setup I have in Holland for my parents in the UK. Ie Dreambox 500, Moteck 2100A motor and an 80cm dish (whereas I have 60cm in NL).
Just as in Holland, I entered the co-ordinates of the location, and told the Dreambox to use the Goto X function, and sent it to 19.2E, found the signal and fine tuned it with a signal meter. 28.2E works spot on, 16E, 13E and 1.0W also, all with signal strength of around 91% and BER 0.
All satellites work impeccably in Holland, however beyond 1.0W there is no or little signal and a BER in numerous thousands. The only sat I want beyond Thor is 30W.
It sounds typical of an unstraight pole to me, but the spirit level says it is fine.
If you look at the picture I am posting you see the setup with the dish at 19.2E, and when I move it to 30W it points roughly between the end of the roof line and those trees. The trees and the neighbouring building are approximately 20-25 metres away.
To try to find 30W I temporarily moved the dish a few degrees east and west via the motor menu, and also varied the inclination of the dish, all to no avail.
I'd be really greatful if anyone could offer any suggestions.
