I am having terrible problems setting up my dish and new motor.
I have done this a number of times before so I am no virgin to this, but the last time was several years ago.
I have a 1.1m triax dish.
My motor is a supreme intelligent dark motor.
I have set the elevation of the motor to 39 as per the manual and the declination of the dish to 27.4 as per the manual.
Unless I change those figures quite a bit I will not even get a sniff of a signal from any satellite, but the signal strengths will be way lower than they should be.
The only thing I am doing differently this time is I am using usals for the first time as I thought it would make things easier.
It hasn't!
Adjusting the elevation and declination with a dish as heavy as a Triax 1.1m is no fun when you are up a ladder. I have been at it for 3 days now and unless I settle for lower signal strengths, I am no nearer sorting this out.
I need advice please. I refuse to pay for it to be installed as I have done this with great success before.
I am using a signal meter.
Just to confirm that my pole is level (using a post level).
I have input my longitude and latitude.
A very fed up dog-man.....
