Everything is correct except #1 (dish elevation)
Dish elevation = P-(60-Lat) = 50-(60-34) = 24 deg.
Make sure:
1. Correct LO, Universal: low 9750, high 10600 (you might get confused about this, once you get the receiver, you will know what the heck I am talking...:-) )
2. Use active transponder to tune the dish.
3. Key in Lat/Long correctly when using USALS.
5. When using compass, do not place it close metal devices.

1. P=50.3-34.2 (my latatude)=16.1 (my root elevation)
2. I will set the elevation of my dish to 16.1 and my azimuth to 180-13.5(magnetic dievieation)=166.5 my true south.
3. I will then turn on my receiver and navagate to satmex5 and then fine tune the elevation of my dish only and never change the elevation of the HH120..
Do I get it now...
Would one of you please check my math.
I am correct, my hh elevation is the same as my Latatude?
I really thought it would be as easy as DSS. I guess the hh120 threw me for a loop.
Michael: I can't tell you how many times I have been to that link over the last 2 weeks while I was waiting for my Lifetime Ultra. Now that it is here I was so excited I could not put it all togather. Somtimes maybe to much info is a bad thing. This is my first FTA and I have heard it cen be a little frustrating. Now I know...
Thanks to both of you for the help. I try it after church in the morning, if its not to hot.
:wink: The air temp here today was 93 so it was over 100 on the roof.... |
