[QUOTE="Satcom1, post: 639828, member: 302061"] When you have the dish aimed at your true south satellite and are receiving a good signal, then your actuator is at it's center of travel. You may need to run the actuator to that length. Allowing the actuator to swing from there to full east or full west. As mentioned before, you must know your Lat and Long. Elevation and declination angle to set the dish to travel exactly on the Clarke Belt. If not the east or west sats will not be received. This sets up your dishes Polar mount to track properly. Suggest you got to satsig and study info. there. It maybe that your actuator is to short to allow horizon to horizon sweep. What size is the dish and what actuator do you have? [/QUOTE]
