[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 92201, member: 175057"] OK, here's how you do it. Set the lattitude scale on the motor body to 42 degrees. Swing the dish around to approximately due South, then swinging the whole assembly on the pole and adjusting the dish elevation only, find yourself Hotbird. If you have a meter or analogue receiver this is quite easy. Otherwise, there is a calculation in the Moteck handbook for setting the dish elevation (or declination as it is called). According to my calculation, the angle on the dish scale should be 33.5 degrees. If this is correct, then you should be near enough on Hotbird. [/QUOTE]
