I haven't solved the problem yet, that's the eason for my post. Here is what I have done so far:
1. Without having the motor rotor mounted, and assembling the dish per the Winegard original instructions, I set the elevation of the dish to 38-40 degrees.
2. I measured the ACTUAL angle that is created between the pole sleeve and the back of the dish using a protractor. I had to lay a straight edge along the pole sleeve and project it out to where it intersects the lnb arm at the back of dish to prperly measure the angle. For 38-40 degrees of elevation, it appears an angle of about 16-20 degrees is needed.
3. I dissassembled the dish bracket, turned it upside down and installed the pole sleeve in the original position. This makes the elevation gauge useless, but affords additional movement at the top of the pole sleeve when the
HH90 rotor is installed.
4. I measured the MAXIMUM angle I can achieve with the rotor in te pole sleeve...i.e., the top of the rotor is touching the back of the dish. It looks like its around 20 degrees.
Until field tested, I can't determine if this will give me the elevation I need, because the measurements I took were too close, and the method used was less than perfect.
I am hoping that others have run across this same issue and can provide some insight as to their solution. I really don't have a solution until I can catch a signal, only hopeful theory.
