more help

what i did.......
set everything like i was instructed motor and dish.
i used my compass and found what i thought to be 180 degrees and pointed the whole thing towards there.
with the receiver i moved the dish to amc5 79 degrees.
slowly swept east/west. found nothing.
in that small space i moved the dish close to 30 degrees and started to get a stronger signal but nothing over 33 and jumpy.
i moved it back and forth and up and down slightly waiting each time for detection of movement. nothing.
it never said locked. so i didnt get a chance to see anything?
question: where is the setting mark on the motor elevation screw thing is it the pointy end that is supposed to indicate where it is set. could i have that wrong?
