[QUOTE="ckrys1, post: 5811, member: 175163"] Really helpful comments - I think I`m getting there, but 2 further questions. 1. I have fiddled with the declination of my dish quite successfully, improving signal on all sats, but I have not been able to alter the inclination, mainly `cos I`m not sure which bolts to slacken! - and I`m a bit tentative lest the whole thing collapses! However, am I right in saying that one should set the inclination first by looking for the best signal on 1W, as it`s nearest true south, and only then fiddle with the declination and optimise the signal on a couple of sats either side, and if you`ve done that, all the other sats should `fall into place` (except for the fact that a few are in inclined orbit)? 2. And this may really sound a daft question, but I`ve stared at this dish for hours working out how to alter the inclination - my wife`s becoming jealous of it! Do I have to disconnect the actuator from either the back of the dish or the polar mount, or both, before I can alter the inclination? Thanks again Ckrys1 [/QUOTE]
