[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 881487, member: 323322"] Another interpretation: Find the Latitude Scale on the Motor and set it to 53 deg (This corresponds to the 36.5 deg on the Motor Elevation scale): Usually the Latitude and Elevation Scales are on opposite sides of the Motor Bracket. We tend to work only with the Latitude scale as it is unambiguous. Then roughly set the Dish Backplate to 24 deg (No need to worry about what Declination means, or its significance). Then ensure your Latitude and Longitude are entered into the USALS screen on your Box Select Thor at 1W Then adjust the Dish for best Quality: Azimuth (Bearing) is corrected by slowly moving the entire Motor and Dish assembly around the Pole (Do not move the Dish around the Motor stub) Elevation is corrected by gently adjusting the Dish Elevation only, using the Backplate on the Dish (Do not alter the Motor Bracket). Once you have best reception on Thor, drive the Dish to other Satellites to check it is tracking properly. [/QUOTE]
