[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 113595, member: 175057"] Tommy, you can't just point it where your best guess of 5W is and then expect to drive it to any other satellites, you need to point it roughly at 5W, then move the motor on the mount and the dish elevation until you find it. Then and only then do you move the motor with the receiver. So set the Lattitude scale on the motor to 56 degrees, the scale on the dish should be around 32 degrees, but may require a little adjustment to peak the satellite. The Declination angle on the dish is calculated at 40 degrees minus 7.782 as per the manual. [/QUOTE]
