hi

I have gebritini dish size 150cm with polar mount my city latitude is 24 but there is no indication that I can see to put the az/el mount on 24 degree.
because I want to use the dish with the motor.

I presume you are in Saudi Arabia. Just align your Polar mount to 24 Degs and then lower your Dish Elevation (I should imagine right down about)
till you get Max signal on your nearest South Satellite.
 
so if want to put the dish on Badr sat the upper degrees should be on 26 degree on east and the down polar on 24 degrees for the actuator dish mover .

Yes, Align the Polar Mount to the 24 degrees mark, and the Dish AZ/EL Markings to about 26degrees (the markings you can see at the East side
of the Dish where the Actuator is placed). But you have to play around a bit to maximize the signal. The best is to receive a weak Transponder and
maximize the signal on it.
 
I replied to you to your first thread just know. Sorry did not see your reply before.
In any case this is what I wrote.

Does Gibertini dish size 150cm go or arrive to 105 east degrees(Asia sat)with its polar mount. the range by 24 actuator superjack ? or Do I need to change the normal polar mount as in the picture if so is there any suitable polar mount for that dish?
