[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 838921, member: 301161"] 1) For me your question doesn't make a lot of sense. How is it possible to get the bracket straight if the pole is not straight? Like Rolf says the pole needs to be plumb. East/west is the most important as there is no way to adjust out any error. Once the motor is facing due south just rest a spirit level east/west across the bracket and this will confirm if the pole is vertical. 2) Local interference normally shows as a spike on the spectrum and will only affect a handful of transponders that have a similar IF, not a whole satellite. BTW, if you are nailing the satellites on one side of the arc but not the other that means the width of the arc is not correct. Also even if the width of the arc is wrong the central satellite should still be perfect as this is the first to be adjusted. [/QUOTE]
