Here's what happens.
1) align motor at "zero" (centered) and point the whole mess at your "true south" HEADING (193)
2) Using USALS, put in your co-ordinates into the receivers' settings.
3) From there, using USALS to have your dish "move" to SBS6. It won't move very much.
Make sure you have active transponder for SBS6, and hunt for active signal by moving the dish elevation up and down - very slowly.
You might have to move the whole motor side to side a *very* small amount also - but use a marker to put an alighment mark before you do move the motor on pole.
The key thing to remember here is, you're using the USALS calculator to move from "zero" to your "true south Sat" - and it uses it's calculations to get there based on your coordinates. WHen done, all the rest of the satellites [should] now line up and you'll be on the arc.
