Cincy, I didn't use a meter with my setup. I worked on it for 2 and a half days before I got it set up right. The way I finally did it was to (don't laugh!) put a cheap two dollar compass on top of the LNB and turned the dish and motor as one unit slowly until the reading on the compass matched my azimuth angle which came out to be 182 degrees. I tightened it down and set the dish elevation angle to 40 although it was supposed to be 34.9. Lostinthewoods was right...with a motor, I had to adjust right at about 5 degrees more than called for. I couldn't believe it when I entered my coordinates into the USALS setup and bam! It tracked like a champ. Works perfectly.
