[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 34658, member: 175144"] Close but no cigar If it was that easy Id be out of a job If the arc is not correct (East and West in line, either above or below the true line ) then you dont have a chance. Critical to get the majority of satellites on either side of South correct in the first place, usually by only adjusting the dish on the pole. Everything then is done in very small increments, constantly checking that any modification to one point of the arc doesnt bugger up a larger part of the rest. This is the declination and elevation bolts, sometimes one at a time, sometimes both. Then when there is no improvement, go back to East / West adjustment Manke sure nothing is tightened fully while doing the above, as a dent in the post or a lock washer can spell disaster for fine tuning. Then nip up all bolts in equal amounts , taking the readings as you tighten them [/QUOTE]
