[QUOTE="claasi, post: 123514, member: 179023"] [size=2]Mark, your dish and the motor with the zero has to face due south, after first setup, and this will stay that way. Only the little trunk of the motor turns with the dish and the zero of the main motor remains with the due south ;) You just might have to adjust the the whole lot on the pole if you did not really hit the "due south" by first setup. Use a Sat and then compare what the scale shows with the calculator from satlex for instance or use a Sat that would hit your "0" degrees on your postion. 1 West for instance but it depends on your location if you can use a bird for your "motor 0". If your receiver does not support to enter your coordinations, yes then you have to look for every sat manually and store them so the receiver can find the sat positions later on. You would have to use the "east" and "west" buttons of the reciever till it hits the next bird. But do not forget to enter a proper frequency of that bird you expect to come, otherwise you won't find anything :) Regards Claasi [/size] [/QUOTE]
