Stab HH90 Motor
31"FS80P dish
My city is Waxhaw
State NC
Zip 28173

I am having a problem finding true south . my longitude should be 80 degrees

there are not any satelites on that degree.my choices are AMC 5 which is 79 degrees or NIMIQ2 @ 82 degrees . which should be my true south satelite. I also have a bird dog , I did not get a signal when I set dish elevation and motor. I used electronic compass to point to south but it must not be my true south ...Please Help

you need to add 10 to your compass setting, then use usals to move dish to amc5, then search for signal

your calculation numbers will be a little different, too.
principal is the same tho

Sorry, lightPC but I was away for a week, and missed your responses.

Do you still need help with this setup?
