hi guys I am trying to reinstall my dish after removing from roof ( getting too old ). I have a 1mtr dish with a Technomate 2100 motor which is a few years old now. What I have done.
Mounted the dish low down but with a good line of sight. My house is slightly SE facing with open fields behind.
Made sure pole is vertical both ways
Set motor angle to my latitude 53 deg.
I have not changed the dish angle as it was working before
Have reset the motor so the drive pole is centre
Made sure motor pole and dish is are all lined up square
Aimed dish at 0.8w according to Sigsat192 deg magnetic reading.
Having done this I cannot find a signal. Any help and advice much appreciated. I do not have a meter. Do I need to get one and if so what would be suitable.
Also I am thinking of getting a new motor, maybe 2600 and a smaller dish. I tend to mainly use 28e 13e and 19e and occasionaly 1w, so would a 65/70cm be big enough?
