[QUOTE="nucleus, post: 793378, member: 368489"] From what I could gather, in order to calculate the correct [B]elevation [/B]of a satellite dish, I need to know the following parameters: Dish offset (how do I calculate this?) Coordinates of my position on earth Satellite coordinates From these three parameters I should be able to calculate my satellite dish elevation degrees. After I have this number, I can take an inclinometer and precisely position the elevation of my dish. Please let me know if this is the correct process of configuring the elevation of a dish, and if there is a calculator for this, or if I have to do this manually, and how. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
