[QUOTE="mhku, post: 108871, member: 190842"] It doesn't matter- it's relative [i]from[/i] zero. So if you set the motor to 1.0W and then manually move it until you fnd it and store it, you will be able to find all the other sats fine. This is exatly how I did mine. You will be setting it to true south (or is that magnetic?)... anyway, it [i]will[/i] work. 1. Set to zero. 2. Adjust dish to 1W using the receiver to move the dish. 3. Move the dish bracket using a sat meter until you get the strongest signal. Also adjust elevation to fine tune it. 4. Tune it in to 1W (FTA channels). Look for the 1W channel to confirm it is 1W. 5. Now when you hit "goto zero" it [i]will[/i] be zero for your location. Give it a try! The sat positions are relative so you have to find one and 1W is the closest to zero so elevation etc will be correct for the arc as the dish moves east/ west. [/QUOTE]
