some have luck with coax signal meter, some dont.
The receivers quality indicator is really the bottom line about getting a workable signal in the end.
What is your zip code? I looked back at the posts, didnt see it. Want to calculate your heading values to make sure you are doing the basics right.
Also, make sure you have your coax plugged into "LNB IN" (not antenna).
You need to:
calculate your "true south" heading based on your location, put the motor at zero, and adjust the whole motor on the pole to your magnetically compensated true south heading. Use a good compass to find this setting.
If you can, walk away from your dish and use the compass to look back at your dish and make sure the LNB arm is pointing at your true south heading.
From there, using USALS have the motor drive to AMC 6 72W, and pick active transponder for gospel channel. Motor wont move much.
NOW you look for a signal. Dont move the motor on the pole too much, that should be very close. The dish setting is the one that will locate the signal for you. It is very tight adjustment. 1/8" dish movement will lose the signal.
Hope this helps.
