[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 434664, member: 256551"] Hi, What type of motor have you got? Are you using an H-H motor, or a polar mount with actuator? For an H-H motor, there is a scale on the motor itself, that should be set to your latitude if it's marked 'Latitude' or (90-latitude) if its marked elevation. For polar mounts, the adjustment that changes the 'antenna pivot axis' should be set to your latitude. The antenna pivot axis will then be aligned with the earth's polar axis. For tweaking the arc, you have to do the 'flexing the dish' trick on both arc extremes and in the middle. By just doing it on one end, you can't tell if the motor azimuth is wrong, the dish declination is wrong, or if the motor elevation (90-Latitude) is wrong. This may help:- [URL]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dish-setup-single-sat-multi-sat-motorised-systems/103485-quick-guide-what-try-if-h-h-motor-arc-not-working.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
