vndss is on a distinguished road
Could someone tell me what's going on with this installation

Tools:
Receiver: CoolSat 4000Pro
Motor: SM3D12
Dish: 31” Fortec Star offset
LNB: KU Band Universal LNBF

Zip: 02125
Latitude: 42.3 N
Longitude: 71.1 W
Magnetic Deviation is -16.23
True south: 196
So since my Longitude: 71.1 W, and the closest true south satellite is Nahuel 1 at 71.8°W (could someone confirm this please?)

I set the Motor Latitude which is 42 and Dish Elevation to 40.0 from the table on the SM3D12 manual.
I am not so sure if I’ve found the right TRUE SOUTH but I can’t get any signal and quality at all. Anyone in here have successfully installed this SM3D12 Motor please give me some help. Besides that, I don’t know if I am missing something here for this installation.


Thank you in advance,
Tony
