[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 86803, member: 176912"] In the plugin, drop down the top listbox, select your sat, and then select 'Send'. This is a stored GOTO X.X command. Fiddle with it a bit, by driving east and west 0.1 of a degree at a time, and see if you can get a better signal than the 'logical' position, then use the MAX SIGNAL button as described in my post above. The software will auto-align your dish on the strongest signal it finds. Accept its recommendation at the end. Now it's stored in the software. You can use this position to overwrite the position in the motor, so that in the future, you can just say 'GOTO pos 15' or whatever if you like. None of my sat locations are as per the text book. I think I have Hotbird at 13.3E. It doesn't matter, just max-out your signal. The difference from text-book is not linear across the arc either, but does help you guess the next sat along.
