[QUOTE="Chr0nik, post: 1110134, member: 198478"] Hi, I'm having a issue trying to align my CM 120 with the Channel Master polar mount after moving everything to the roof of the house. The pole is plumb on all 4 sides and but I'm confused on the elevation/declination values I need to setup on the polar mount. For the elevation rod, based on my location (51.477 N, 0.311E) do I need to set it to 51 or to 38.5 (51.477-90)? and regarding the declination, I understand that the value is (22.5 + 6.1=28.6 ). I've tried to set these values using a digital inclonometer but the angle of the dish seems off and cannot set the declination value without changing the value on the elevation rod. I've been doing a lot of reading for a long time and spent quite a lot of time on the roof trying to get it working (the neighbors already thing I'm weird and have complained) but I cannot get this working so I would really appreciate your assistance. I will post pictures when I get home. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
