Jaeger 1224 Installation Questions

[wod]

you cant really go wrong with this motor installing it. i fitted one at the weekend and have it tracking the arc 19e to 22west so far on my first go , not tried any further each side

all i did was set the motor elevation to the correct degrees setting ( that is worked out from the posts above)

then with a sat meter attached i aligned to thor and get the best signal by adjusting the top two offset brackets that attach to the adapter plate

the dish will lean back slightly i've found with mine as the dish at thor will be at it highest in the arc

Got it going this afternoon. Many thanks for the tips. Pretty impressed with the performance. Even with 120 meters of cabling I'm still getting +7db C/N on transponder F2U on Eurobird 1.

I've attached a couple of photos of the installation. Bit of a pain to set up given that I've got to climb an access platform every time I need to adjust something!
