[QUOTE="aceb, post: 1034549, member: 268811"] Try again tomorrow, set it up with the correct elevation on the motor, the pic you posted looked about right for this latitude, set USALS then drive it to .8W. Get up there at midday and lift the dish up high on it's declination adjustment so the LNB casts a shadow on the reflector and move the whole lot round the pole till the shadow is central across the reflector. Lock it off, start lowering the dish and watch for a signal, I'd be surprised if you don't see some movement on the meter but if not move the dish+motor very slightly east or west and try again but it won't be far out to begin with. To get a good idea of where south is you could put the details into satbeams and zoom right in to see where it should be pointing. [/QUOTE]
