This is what I have done

I have found IA5, G3C (Roberts), etc. all fine with my meter.

I came across an interesting article and link for calculating TRUE south and even allows for the input of the equipment your trying to use... It states that instead of my 180 - 4, my TRUE is 92 (MAG) and 95.2 (Corrected)

Can someone please double check my TRUE, I could have sworn that on the site there is a map, Kansas City area is -4 correction to your compass, that to me would be 176..

My south is like the compass reads, okay, so where does this 92 come from? And interestingly enough, when I did try to use with a SpaceStar in USALS was -54 compensation (When I could get the HH to stop)... Something is not making sense to me..

BTW I did follow EXACTLY step by step the installation proceedure. I did not setup a "rough" on the ground as I did not see this as being a "REAL" challange other than what I have done and the HH to me seemed like all the other "Motorized Jacks" that I used and aligned... I WAS WRONG.. haha.

HH is a beast of it's own merits and I imagine my WHOLE problem is not understanding what or where the TRUE south would be in 66608. I have looked at the looking angles and it says different..

Clarification from someone please.

P.s. If I were not TRUE right now why would I be tracking fine? When setting up the dish, etc. I setup and tweaked to my most southern sat G3C at 95W, perfectly aligned etc. and tracks to Echo, AMC, etc. I am close but I am off so much that the HH will not work correctly for me...
