Re: Can't find a satellite anywhere

1. Make sure you set everthing correctly:
Dish elevation
H-H mount elevation
LO for lnbf
+/- magnetic deviation to the azimuth.
Use an active trasponder for tuning the dish

P is 35.3 azimuth 180 dish elevation 22.9.

I'm can't find any satellites. Anywhere I point to, I get in the range of 50-70% for signals, but nothing for quality. The wierd thing about it is that even if I point it to location opposite of where the satellite is supposed to be, I get the same readig.

I've put the dish on a plumb post and I even took the motor off to see if that made a difference, and nothing.

Any ideas?
