Hi all,
So how do I set up this motor, I have just unpacked it and I am reading Declination Angle. What is that?? If I set my latitude and then look at the table it gives 7.3 Declination, the instructions say set to 40 minus declination angle, ie 40-7.3=32.7 ok that was easy, but if i would point a static dish at Intelsat ( 1W for set up) I would need an elevation of 30.6 is this 30.6 the same, or near enough the same as the 32.7?
Sorry if I sound stupid but I want to get it right.
Thanks
Martin
