So Close on Motor setup

Quote from abaaba

I hope you can help me figure out what I am missing here

I have re-done the my motor setup today (I have been at it all day and) and I think I am really close, I am using 5 sats to test if I am tracking the arc correctly (30w, 15w, 5w, 13e, 26e and 28.2e)

Pretty darn hard task trying to give you advice without knowing your complete setup!!!

Am I right in thinking the motor tale is a bit high?

Tale?

I was so looking forward to using my new satlink ws-6906 but it was big disappointment.

Thanks

Thats what happens unfortunately when you purchase a **** satellite meter...totally your own fault.

Abaaba you need to follow the motor instructions to the word with dishpointer for your co ordinated set the motor elevation scale and the dish elevation correct pick your strongest sat and with your meter move the dish left right up and down till you get the best you can ensuring that the angle shown on the stub is close to what your satellite is so if its 28e make sure its at 28 the cast line on the stub should be centre of the dishes v on the bracket ,when moving left to right by hand slacken the motor to wall mount bracket and turn on the motor with your hands not the dish as it forces thru the gears only slacken enough to get it to move ,tightening the bolts can alter your signal so keep an eye on that also , you are far from close ,if you have doubts about a tree even slight its your issue it only takes a few leaves to drop the signal , dont add degrees move the motor by hand thats what you got a meterr for ,you will not track the arc properly otherwise ,if all you co ordinates are correct and elevations you should just drive the dish to 0.8 for example move the dish left and right tilll you get the sat at best lock up and job done , the motor does everything do not skew your lnb either it needs to be square to the dish arm

Well done in finally getting it working buddy, I will close this thread now.
