I'm installing a Channel Master 1.2m offset dish + Polar Mount in a new location. Looking for the following information.
1/ I found an old Channel Master document on the web which implies the offset is 22.6° - can anyone confirm this figure?
2/ I found a help sheet on setting the declination - see attachment. But the instuctions look wrong. If you look at the attachment it says the example shown is set for 32° latitude based on the position of the back edge of the top plate.
But based on my own measurements it appears the example is set for about 48° latitude - seems the setting should be based on the lipped edge of the top plate.
Anyone has any views of which is correct?
