We are setting up and non motor right now.
We are using a brand new SatHawk 3000 meter.
We have a 36 inch dis and .4 LNBF
We are located in Wisconsin 53186
We are using settings of EL=39.6 and AZ=193.1, and Tilt= 9.3 CC
Ok as far a what I am getting on the SatHawk it var from 15-23 accross the whole sky.
All thes parts are new.
I am wondering if I have a bad LNBF.
Any ideas out there it real cold and a little snow here today???

Unlikely that you have a bad lnbf, it's possible but 99% of time it's just that the aim is off. If you're using a compass, you need to add about 2-3 degrees to that azimuth. Aim at that azimuth as close as possible, and make very slow adjustments up and down with the elevation. Don't try changing the azimuth until you locate some point where there is a signal peak. I'm not familiar with that meter, so I can't help with that.
