First of all, your dish "elevation" setting should NOT be 32.5. You should be entering your latitude or "modified latitude" on the "LATITUDE" scale on this motor, NOT on the "ELEVATION" scale. Secondly it really shouldn't be your latitude that you use, but your latitude plus about 0.6 deg. So you should be using 33.1 degrees on the Latitude scale, which will equate to 56.9 degrees on the Elevation scale.
See

and
http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizeimgs/modpolanglesr.gif (not this site incorrectly refers to the latitude setting as elevation, but I think you can see what's going on from this chart).
Since in your next message, you say you found G3C, before moving to the next sat, I'd recommend making sure that you have the motor angle set right. If it's not, I'd set the motor to the proper angle, which will mean that you'll have to alter your dish elevation to find G3C again, but it should be easy now that you've found the signal. But starting out with the proper motor elevation will make the rest of the process MUCH easier.
