Good Morning Guys.

As you know, I have a 3m KTI (Kaultronics).
I have been using it for some time, but I feel as the dish isn’t giving its all just yet.

I need some help from your guys (some of you have been in the Sat game since the beginning)
Please give me some pointers of how I can align the panels perfectly (or very close to)
Perhaps also how to make sure than the LNB is getting the whole reflection off the dish.
I had a look on the internet, but no clear guides off how to optimize panel fitment(alignment)

I want to get this one running as good as it possibly could be.

Thanks! :)

The dish is motorised.

I was actually referring to getting the focus point,and petal fit perfect.
The dish is running currently allready
