The elavation of the motor is the SAME as your latitude. The dish elavation is adjusted as you aim your dish. Go to Sadoun's website and get the map of your house, you can then see where true south is by looking at the landmarks. When you have the motor centered, and aimed at true south, slowly lift up your dish and watch your signal meter. Tighten your nuts at the highest signal level. Go back inside and do a scan.
