[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1013396, member: 176704"] So, I assume that means that you have checked that the pole IS vertical, and that means that the dish should track correctly IF it points absolutely due True South when set to "0 degrees" on the mount (the dish elevation must already be roughly correct or you would not be getting anything much at all) - but have you remembered to correct for the difference between True South and Magnetic South at YOUR location? OTOH, check the correction required at [URL='http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm'][B][U]http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm[/U][/B][/URL] - you put in your post code and it tells you Magnetic compass bearing (azimuth) and so you don't have to work out the correction, and also shows the beam elevation (how you achieve the latter will depend on which dish and motor mount you are using). Therefore, it might help, and this has been said before, please can you tell us exactly which dish and motor you are using, and whether you are using Diseqc 1.2 or USALS motor control? [/QUOTE]
