[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 810482, member: 243342"] You seem to be doing everything correctly. I would also suggest a meter as satellite receivers would take a few seconds to obtain a lock whereas meters (even cheapo beeper ones) would give you an instant indication that you've hit something. In absence of the meter, I would do as you do with the Satfinder and ensure that the frequency parameters are correct and then move the dish very slowly until you hit something. Ignore AGC readings - they show you nothing useful (not sure why this reading is even included - I never used this scale) - and concentrate on SNR. [/QUOTE]
