[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1033907, member: 393358"] Seems I am not alone in always resorting to the simple needle meter for initial install. What I find very useful (on mine) is the voltage \ 22 khz leds, instantly tells that the receiver is there and doing it's job (LNB Low\High voltage + Vertical\Horizontal) + tells the cabling is fine. That's a very good start, makes the rest easy by eliminating lots of possible doubts\troubles. A cheap compass to find approx correct direction, then a little play back and forth and elevation + bolt tightening. Never more than a few minutes to find any (receivable in my area) sat and get a very good signal. To the op, assuming the lnb is ok, got to be sure the receiver is alive (power etc to lnb) + the cabling is ok, then find -1- sat that shows some signal on the meter + the receiver. Take it from there, forget all about arc & motor ftm. imo. [/QUOTE]
