[QUOTE="a33, post: 1085755, member: 332642"] Well, when your zero is to be realigned, chances are that your motor elevation angle and dish declination offset angle are also not OK. Setting up a motorized system means doing it step by step, and checking each step! You cannot really counteract not-perfect step results in the next steps.... And USALS indeed needs a properly setup motor system. :) So, when you would just setup your zero anew, and leave all other angles as they are: yes you would lose some satellites! BTW Use the so-called modified angles for your motor setup; that makes fine-adjustment a lot easier, or even unnecessary! Table is found e.g. here: [URL='https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/elevation-declination-chart.366673/#post-4012366']Elevation / declination chart[/URL] Or bottom of here: [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20071117180836/http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/decchartp.html[/URL] Greetz, A33 [I]Edited.
