[QUOTE="IjonT, post: 102856, member: 190838"] I have noticed that offset dishes of different makes can appear to be different up-tilted even if pointing to the same satellite. So this does not have necessarily to be wrong. You can find the right elevation of the dish on the motor simply by trying to locate your southernmost satellite. Or maybe it would be faster to try to locate the same satellite as your neighbour first. You know the right azimuth of the dish because it is the same as your neighbour's and you only need to find the right elevation of the dish. But you have to turn your motor tube to the right position for that satellite (using USALS) before locating it, of course. (You can find only approximate setup of the dish elevatin and the motor azimuth this way. You have to adjust it using your southernmost satellite afterwards to achieve maximum signal quality.) One more thing: don't forget to set up your latitude and longitude in your receiver or USALS will not work properly. [/QUOTE]
