[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 441149, member: 175057"] You have it all pretty correct until you get to the "and away I went" bit. :) You missed the bit where you drive the dish to Thor 1W using USALS, then using a meter or watching the signal strength and quality readings on the receiver, you move the whole assembly on the mast and the dish elevation until you get a good solid reading on the receiver for that satellite. You are best setting the transponder to the BBC World frequency 11325 H . Once you have done that, lock up the bolts and your arc should be near perfect. :) PS. the declination angle is the angle on the dish bracket, it defines the steepness of the arc. [/QUOTE]
