[QUOTE="a33, post: 1152884, member: 332642"] I don't think anything, because I don't know what motor setup manual you have used, and if you really checked (and double checked) each step. And I've lost track, of what you (already) did. If you ask me, I'd check and ask you these questions (and more!): 1. Pole exactly vertical, in east/west direction? (Also in north/south direction? That is not really needed, but it is practical!) 2. Motor elevation then set at proper elevation/latitude angle? Measured on elevation scale of the motor, or with inclinometer (=better)? 3. Motor goes to exactly zero, when you give the Goto-Zero/Goto-Reference command? 4. Dish is mounted exactly in line, with the motor, then (while on Zero)? 5. Arm/LNB is mounted exactly in line, with (motor and) dish, then? 6. Dish elevation scale then set at proper value? 7. Used the "USALS way" of aiming your complete setup to a reference satellite? Which satellite did you choose? Just trying to change some angles, without a diagnosis and proper plan: I don't like that. (But that's me... Others might do it differently.) Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
