Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. My system is non-motorized (it's the basic Fortect system sold here)... as for skew, yes, I meant to say I turned it clockwise about 21 degrees (about 5 minutes on the clock hand) .. this I am eye-balling of course. Again, looking at the Fortec LNBF, I see no mark that gives any "skew" reading..
I thought that a "Universal" LNBF meant that it didnt require a skew adjustment .. I guess I am wrong...
Also, the LNBF is tighten good, but I can still turn it no problem.. should it really be tighten further so I can hand turn it? So, I just need to put the LNBF as far from the dish has possible, right?
And my mount is as plumb as I can get it (using a level)... so I am currently guessing the azimuth around 126 deg west, and for the elevation, I am using the red mark on the back of the dish for the degree to adjust.. does all these setting assume that the dish was assembled correctly and tighten?
Back to azimuth, I have a cheapo compass and since it's so small, and I trying to guess how to point the dish to that 126 deg west as shown on the compass..hopefully this is good enough...
Could the LNBF be bad? Or maybe I am missing something obvious in the receiver set-up?
