[QUOTE="archive10, post: 1030601"] Yes. But what you may have to observe in this case is that the "beam width" of the CM120 is 120+ cm wide. This means that the beam that the CM receives is as wide as the dish. So ignoring trees and other obstacles, this beam will be clipped by the horizon at some point. But when nearing the horizon, the height of the dish mount makes a difference (ignoring atmospheric absorption for a minute). So the ground clerance really depends on where the dish is mounted - ground level (where I think satbeams and dishpointer is based), or mounted on the roof (which is different and much better). HOWEVER, I have previously found on-line sighting sites (dishpointer) to be out several degrees when aligning dishes. I cannot rule out that something similar happens here. [/QUOTE]
