Hi all, ...
Happy almost New Years ...
Well, wanted to toss out my first post about
installation support:
I have the
motorized system w/36" dish from
Sadoun. everything appears to be set up a-o-k.
When I input my lat/long in the Fortec (Lifetime) setup, and then move east and then west, I see no improvement in the quality bar.
Should I then go right ahead and tweak the dish elevation setting up and down slightly and retry?
Or can I simply change the value of, say, my longitude by a tenth of degree and scan again?
I'm in my office at the moment, so can't quote exact readings, ... but I'm a seasoned (solo) backpacker, and I work in construction, so my familiarity with readings such as compass, level, plumb, direction, hot coffee, etc., are second nature.
My pole mount is perfectly plumb. I'm in Santa Rosa CA; 38.44 N .... Hmm, .. forget the other #'s ... well doesn't matter ... just wanted to pop this on the board for starters.
I should add: that my dish elevation reading (23 something, .. I think??) may not possibly be perfect? That's because it did not come with that pointy guide thing ... only that oblong 2-holed metal plate that goes under both fastener.
So I set the dish elevation "parallel" the the setting for my mark ...
Geez, hope that came out clear ...
Thanks guys,
