I didn't get enough signal to lock.

[thoile]

I bought a M-1 motorized package include:
classic Na reciever
DG240 motor
90 cm dish
ULN1 0.4 db
I set up everything according to the instruction guidline, however, the wallmout pole is about 1-10 degree off compare to true South. My target sattlite is IA5 ku (97 W), so when I tried to search for signal, I only get to 26%, that's is the most I can get. According to my location, the lattitude is 45.48 N and longtitute is 122.59 W, so I adjust my motorized elavation and the dish angle is at where I can get signal. While adjusting, I firgure out that there is a certain elavation range I can get signal, but still 26 % is the most I can get. Another thing is there is a big tall tree of my neighbor's house is about 30 to 40 feet away where my dish is pointing at when it is at reference point. I wonder that tree could cause a problem for getting not enough signal or could be something else? please give me any suggestion that you have , thanks a lot

when setting up a motorized system you should start at your true south sat which is the closest to your longitude for you this would be G10r at 123 w.
