[QUOTE="tux233, post: 160903, member: 189396"] HI I have finally started setting this dish up but just when I thought I had everything figured out, something is not quite right :-DOH! This is what have done: My Location = 32.63N /16.85W. From _http://www.satsig.net/ssazelm.htm I obtained the Polar mount main axis angle (elevation angle) = [B]33.29[/B] which I applied to angle [B]A[/B]. For declination I calculated the elevation of the closest south sat for my location (Telstar12 15W) minus the dish offset. ie. 51.97 - 23 = [B]28.97[/B] and applied that to angle [B]B[/B]. By turning the whole mount on the pole I am only able to receive 30W. There is obviously something very wrong with my calculations :confused: Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Cheers [/QUOTE]
