[QUOTE="hacksawbob, post: 171953, member: 206994"] hi thanks rolf, I have an analogue sat finder, I checked the pole with a pumbob (on the inside of the pole) and its dead on. I have set the attenuator to just below full gain, set the declination to 25 degs as the shop guy said, I checked the face of the dish with a spirit level and it is ten degrees off vertical up. Sited the dish due south after taking a reading from google earth and siting off a church tower on the same longnitude. set the lnb setting to thor then put the tp freq to eleven point three two five (number keys not working on this laptop :o ) gone to usals menu sent dish to thor, looking at the (azimuth?)scale on the motor the dish has moved towards the east by like one degree, I thought it would move the dish west to get one deg west, but anyway. The manual for the motor says now move the dish with motor to correct for longnitude, so I have done this by two point five degs east making a total of about three point five degs to the right of the zero mark (as viewed from behind the dish) and moved the dish up and down listening for the sat finder to squeal, nothing, and no reading from the receiver L OR Q meters, where am I going wrong?
