[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 148827, member: 175057"] You really need to set to zero and find Thor on 1W, then you have a fighting chance of getting the others right, at the moment you are making it far more compicated than it needs to be. When I set up a motor, I make sure the motor is set to zero, set the lattitude or elevation setting on the motor body, mount the dish onto the motor and then mount the whole assembly on the mast pointing roughly South. I then get my meter (you will have to use your receiver and a portable TV) and find Thor by moving the motor assembly on the mast and dish elevation adjustment, this gives me the top of the arc. I lock up the dish and motor brackets, then and only then do I touch the motor controls in the receiver. PS. I realise that it was supposed to be set up for you, but you need to ascertain that the top of the arc is correct. [/QUOTE]
