Ok, have spent the afternoon trying to get my motor setup! Yes, I have read the FAQ and the manual but I seem to be missing "something"! Looking for any ideas of what I have done wrong.
Motor-
HH120
Latitiude 85.17
Longitude 33.03 Like I can split hairs on the scales on these thing:})
Dish "Prime Star"
Calculated dish elevation of AMC3 (87W my closest active bird) 51.5 or 51.6 for AMC9 (85W).
OK, I setup the dish for 87 on the pole (no motor yet) and get a signal and can see some TV (not much, but I have signal)!
Set the dish on the motor and set the motor to 33 degrees as best I can on the scale. Point the motor to the south based on previous marks on the pole. Put the dish on the motor and set the elevation of the dish to 24.62 (high degree of accuracy yeh right). This setting agrees with both the manual and the page on this web site for calculating the angle.
Have my motor loose on the pole and try swinging back and forth trying to get a signal. NO luck! Tried moving the dish to a circular bird (have an
Invacom Qph) still no luck getting a signal!
As previously stated, If I remove the dish from the motor and reset the elevation and point in the correct direction, I can get a signal (done this a couple of times). so obviously, I am missing something and any help will be appreciated.
