[QUOTE="ALIEN1X, post: 170714, member: 199295"] I'm using Tecnomate 1500 ci supper,riax TD88 dish and Technomate TM2100A diseqc motor (motec). This is what I did. 1)Made show ground mounted pole was vertical/plumb all way round. 2) dish and motor approx due south on pole,based on my calculations for approximate Azimuth for 'Thor 2/3 at 0.8w.Motor positioned on '0'. 3) Based on my Lattitude 51.33.54 and Longitude 0.12.31. I set the motor elevation angle as'39' according to Lattitude .Dish bracket angle according to motor manual is 22.6deg, based on Lattitude and declination angle. 4)I used a 'SLX' sat finder to find a signal approx to Thor 2/3(as thse meters dont tell you what sat you are looking at or found). I moved the hole setup around the pole till I got the stongest signal,then tweaked the dish elevation till I could get the best signal.Then disconected the meter and re-connected the cables to reciever. 5)Then on the reciever I used 'USALS' setup as follows: Sat=0.8w Thor 2/3 Transponder = 11.165v/1.450 (just left this,not sure what it means?) Disecq = USALS sat deg=0.8w Position setting=00.1 deg E / 51.3deg W ( I could not enter it as .12.31.31 E and 51.33.54 N) 6) Then went to GO TO and clicked on that, message came up on creen saying moving motor to Thor 2/3 but quality signal was jumping from 3 -7% and the level was 80-90% Not sure where I'm going wrong?
