On a motorized system you need to check or have:

1. A plum mast (absolutely plumb)
2. LNB mounted for 0° SKEW
3. Motor parked at reference point or 0 indicator on the motor
4. Know your location in reference to ZIP code and /or coordinates
5. Setup USALS in reference to your coordinates and save this information in your true south satellite.
6. Once you select the true satellite the motor will travel the correct amount of degrees.
7. Check on LYNGSAT wich transponders are active.
8. Make sure you have the correct frequency set on your receiver for the LNB to operate correctly.
9. Verify that you have the correct frequency, and polarity for the transponder you pretend to scan.
10. Go to the SADOUN page and look for the angle calculators.
11. On motorized setups you need to adjust AZIMUTH, ELEVATION and DECLINATION. You don't need SKEW. The motor rotation will do the SKEW.
12. Once you have your true south satellite OPTIMIZED, you can start setting up frequencies on the other satellites always turning on USALS and the motor will calculate the exact run to stop at the satellite you want to work with.
13. OPTIMIZATION is in reference to the signal quality and not the signal strenght.
14. Don't you ever do coarse or rough movements while you optimize your antenna, this is a hobby of precission.
15. Most important of all this is a hobby of patience.
16. Make sure to real all the rules of this forum to enjoy your investment even more.
