Hi all,
I have recently replaced my H-H Manhattan mount which failed after approximately 14yrs of good service with TM-2600M3 motor. Unfortunatelly I've lost all the stellites after installing the new motor. As this is almost a like-for-like replacement I thought it would be a straight forward job. The only difference between the two mounts is that the mounting tube in the new motor is facing down where the old one was facing up. Does this difference affect the old elevation angle set on the dish which I haven't changed? I have an ISS 80cm dish installed on a pole mount which is in good condition with a new LNB and a clear line of site between 30E to 30W. The motor elevation is set to 39 as given by the manual for my current location 51N, 1.3W. The elevetion angle on the dish is set to 67. Is this correct? Any comments on this would be much appreciated.
