[QUOTE="FSDSMAN, post: 635177, member: 331301"] Many thanks for your patience, the point is ON BOTH SIDES the scale is marked LATITUDE and are exactly the same. At the back of the handbook that came with the new motor there is a table of "elevation and declination angles" that imply to set your correct angles you look down the chart for your site latitude (51) and then it gives off the angles to set on the Elevation angle (39) and the Declination angle for your site (7.4) and the dish angle bracket 27.6 This more or less matches the info on the web site. However after a bit of tweeking and the meter I can no go to Thor, and a few other sat's close by and get a picture with a quality of about 80% on some transponders so now I guess is throw away the pole that came with the dish (again rather flimsy) and get a decent mount and set it truely plumb - re site - and start again but I think i will invest in a incline meter to assist.
