[QUOTE="RimaNTSS, post: 969486, member: 312276"] Tune antenna to the arc is not so difficult, but there is always place for fine tuning anytime later :) I use inclinometer to make sure LNB's phase center is co-located with antenna's focal point. When setting up turning antenna, very important that pole is dead plumb, everybody knows that, this is even more important when antenna is big. Made additional plate to attach end of actuator (rusty piece of metal). Now antenna easily turns from 90*E to 30*W, could go even more East and West, but those are my limits from the ground level anyway. [/QUOTE]
