Hey, that's cool!

(Problem may be this palm tree off in a yard a few homes away ... I assumed it was not an issue ... but perhaps it is .. I may have to haul the whole setup onto my roof after all .. right now it's on my back deck).

But::: my question:

If I can pick up frequencies very accurately from AMC 4, then can I correctly conclude, that the setup is truly aiming at 101 degrees West?

If that's the case, then can I therefore use *that* point as a reference, and navigate from there?

I've directed the dish to do so, from my Fortec setup, but, after it gets to IA5, for example, I do not get appreciable levels.

Must your intial reference be at the true south?

Thanks!

it makes it easier did you use the motor to move to amc 4 or did you just move the whole thing on the pole to receive it if it is the later then your south adjustment is off also your elevation would be off plus your skew on the lnb.
