Elevation, no. All the the satellites we use are in the Clarke Belt. This is a line that extends across the horizon, East to West. once you get your dish lined up correctly, it only moves East or West, to pick another sat. this is called Azimuth. The rotor changes the Azimuth of the dish. The elevation is what you set your dish to and lock in, in degrees, at the base of the dish behind it, on the pole. You lock that down. It never moves once you get it locked down.

This is the way I understand it - my set in on order and I have not done an install yet.
