[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 803337, member: 323322"] Dish face should be vertical (by eye) as a starting point .......... then slowly (very slowly!) alter azimuth only until you hit a Satellite >>> Scan then check Channel names to determine which Satellite you've hit, then you'll know which way to move it to the true target, both in Az and El. Oh, and if you're using a squawker, the cable stub they come with is usually of very poor quality and you'd be advised to make up one of your own to prevent poor connections or even short circuits (owing to the ease with which the centre core can be displaced) [/QUOTE]
