[QUOTE="Likvid, post: 111791, member: 176379"] Arnhem, Netherlands got coordinates 52.00 North 5.90 East. Put the dish in central apex position, the position where it have the highest elevation. 1. The elevation angle on your mount axle should then be 90-52 = 38 degrees 2. Now set the correct elevation of the dish by measuring on the rim in front of the dish, it should have the highest elevation at your location which is at 5.90 degrees east which corresponds to 30.57 degress. 3. Double check!! 4. Now choose a satellite far away to the west, say Hispasat at 30 degrees West, the elevation for that satellite at your location is 21.91 degrees. 5. Turn the motor til you reach the above elevation for Hispasat. 6. Now loosen the polarmount from the pole and turn the whole mount til you get a signal from Hispasat, you are now adjusting the south/north orientation of the mount, fasten the mount to the pole now when you have maximized the signal. 7. Now check the rest of the satellites on the clarke belt, do you need to lower or raise the dish? That is a bit summarization, there are some figures on the net on what to adjust when elevation is too low or high on some satellites..... Some links.... http://www.satsig.net/pol_ex1.htm http://www.satsig.net/pol_ex2.htm http://www.satsig.net/pol_ex3.htm http://www.satsig.net/polmount.htm [/QUOTE]
