[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 429212, member: 183150"] :-Nooo Once you have the mount facing due south, do not move the mount from that position on the pole. Move the dish to the required sat by taking out the motor and moving the dish. Take care to keep hold of the dish when you take the motor out, itwill fall under it's own weight and damage itself or you. :-crying Both the dish and the LNB require the resulting skew for max signal. :-righton You may find it difficult to get the sat. pos. accurately since you are limited to one tooth on the motor shaft. Fibo used to supply a small bracket which replaced the motor and locked the pinion in position, it had an adusting slot in it, so that you could fine tune the position. If possible it would be easier to move the motor electrically, a 12v battery would possibly be enough, might need to give a helping hand if far off due south. just dab the wires on the battery to move. Remove wires when aligned. OR If you remove the plastic cover from the motor, get the dish as near as possibe when you insert the motor, and fit it temporally in position, it is possible to rotate the dish by spinning one of the exposed gears with your finger, this is slow but precise. You would then need to remove the motor refit the cover, and refit the motor. It helps to make a note of the az angle on the scale, in case it moves while taking motor in an out :D [/QUOTE]
