Turned the lnb arm 180° just to try it

On 1°w it added up to 5db on some transponders.
31.5°w is one of them that is down a little.Thats quite an increase. If you go back to 31.5W now you will probably scan in all three Ku transponders with EBS Pro.
I have thought about using a laser pointer, might have one kicking around somewhere.
Found out today my figures are a lot out, for example 3°w (zenith) 31.7° elevation.
According to the o.s. maps my magnetic declension angle is 6.7°
So I should be setting my polar mount to 31.4° & the dish face to 10.4°
That will give me better results. (Fingers crossed)
How did you get the declination?
...I have never once aligned a dish using solar noon (citing the lack of sun!)...
