I have been at this for a few days now with no real success. I have had no luck hitting any linear satellites, I can not get any signal level over 50% and 0 quality. I can however hit a circular satellite with 50% signal and 98% quality.
I first tried
aiming at AMC5 as my true south, I could net get a lock. East-west, dish up-down nothing. Tried SBS6 still no luck.
So I tried aiming the dish at nimiq2 instead as my true south. After I was able to get a lock and did a scan it turns out I was hiting Nimiq1.
I've verified that my usals was moving the dish correctly with the gotox calculator.
I've tried moving the motor scale one degree in either direction and re-aiming. No luck. After reading these forums, I no thats a no-no but I had to try something.
I have attached some pics to see if anyone can give me any clues. Now Im wondering If my lnb arm is bent or perhaps simply the wrong one.
