Best of luck , just get as strong a signal as you can and mark then try the 2 bank card / creditcard thickness part to find other sat's close by. About 2.5 to 3 deg or very close inbetween for the 2 bank card rule. |
To this point, I've been using a fixed mount, but I do have a motor drive on hand, and I think it will actually help instead of complicate matters. At least I'm hoping it will.
The reason I say this is that the mounting hardware that holds the dish's azimuth, I have to keep loose in order to adjust it, and this looseness affects the elevation adjustment. It's hard to lock the elevation down because as soon as I let go of the dish it still settles down a bit because the azimuth hardware isn't tight.
With a motor, I'll be able to tighten up the azimuth hardware and lock it down, making the elevation adjustment a little easier.
