[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 730246, member: 310216"] Yes, it was actually the point that through swapping the mount round it became apparent that it was assembled correctly. However, the OP did find that the elevation markings were of little or no use and he began his alignment with the dish almost vertical and increased the dish elevation by small increments on each pass. He was located in Scotland and as you are quite a way further south of that the problem he had with the dish being almost at the limit of it's adjustment shouldn't be as great. I'm also trying to show you that you will succeed despite what you might think. I really don't think there is anything wrong with your box. Did you not have it working with the dish fixed on EB9? If you are getting an increase on tone on the meter with a hand in front I really can't see there being any problem with the STB. I've managed to set up four motorised dishes (including my present one) purely using a needle and tone meter. No, it's not as accurate or as quick as using an analyser. But if you are patient, careful and persistant [B]it will work[/B]. Follow the list Huevos posted. As soon as that tone increases and the needle moves try and peak up the dish, backing off the gain control at each increase till you have it as best you can. [/QUOTE]
