If the alignment of the motor is off then the dish
will not track the arc properly as you move from west or east. Simply pulling in T5 does not necessarily mean the dish motor is aligned correctly. Go back and read
Sadoun's motor alignment instructions -- it is
crucial to make sure you are pointing the dish at true south when the motor scale is at zero; if not then the dish will either track above or below the arc as it moves -- resulting in the inability of the dish to point properly at other satellites.
