Yes, the numbers on the motor scale are very close, I just get it as close as I can. Have you been here?:

It is a very good explaination of what you are trying to do.
The important points are:
plumb pole
motor scale set to latitude
dish elevation(set from
Sadoun's site-above)
Make sure motor is set to zero
Line up the dish and motor on the pole to your true south heading, as close as you can. Put the receiver in USALS mode and select SBS6, make sure you have the transponder I gave you selected in the receiver.
After you've done all this, chances of you being right on SBS 6 are pretty slim, you are going to have to search for the signal, move the dish, motor on the pole very slightly, in each direction until you get some quality. You may have to increase/decrease the elevation slightly till you find signal. It takes a LOT of patience but once you find SBS 6 you will have the rest of the satellites using USALS.
Once you have the dish aligned with the arc, you don't need to tell the receiver anything, just select the satellite you want to go to and USALS does the rest.
