[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 47599, member: 175144"] Not knowing the type of motor described , there should in any decent manual, be a chart showing the settings that should be used at a particular location, either a list of numbers, or a map (usually of Europe with vertical and horizontal ).These will relate directly to the final positions of the bolts on the back of the motor when tightened, if the post is absolutely vertical. The other important settings are a true south (as you already have 1W you should check the motor is almost straight on at 0 degrees), the dish is set exactly on the pole at 0 degrees, and the declination of the dish is set correctly to the location (offset of the dish - about 23-25 degrees for a Triax - plus approximately 5.5 degrees) Has the supplier given any clues ?
