[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1081503, member: 176362"] Getting a successful lock is always the hardest the first time - and its actually harder with big dishes as the boresight (angle of acceptance of the signals from the satellite) is just so small. Once you find the knack with one satellite it will soon come easier. Dont get discouraged - sometimes you just have one of those days when you can find ANYTHING! :) I had a day like that last week - I spent an hour chasing down one of the strong signals which I know is an easy catch and got nowhere. The following day I connected all the kit up again - and the bloody dish was absolutely spot on without any adjustment! [/QUOTE]
