[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1038531, member: 175144"] I checked the two extremes of 42E and 30W with 1W optimised all the time. Before leaving you were able to collect signals from 53E and store them, though they were not as stable as others on the arc. I will concur the actual orbital slot settings were out by a degree or so owing to the visual clamping of the dish on the motor shaft, there is no way it can be truly accurate without a keyed bolt through the arm, and the n/s setting was used to compensate this error, though it should not throw the received arc out by much at all . It might be the last weeks winds have moved the dish slightly, or the declination lock of the Triax has slipped, but is could also be a whole host of other things, I would look at ensuring other weak satellites on the channel list are receivable, any that are under par might indicate where the problem actually lies.
