Setup Question for ANT

[jcwhite]

I have:
a Fortec 36" dish,
a HH-120 STAB motor,
a Coolsat 6000 RCVR,
some switches (have both 4x1 and 22kHz switches available),
a Invacom QPH-031,

and I am having problems getting aligned correctly.

The more I read, the more I don't know what to do. Please assist...here is what I have setup:

My Lat is 35.32
My Long is 77.68

I set the HH-120 EL to 35.
My pole is straight up and level all the way around.

I mounted the motor to the pole and pointed it True South; for me that is about 189 degrees mag.

I set the ANT EL to 24 as stated on the STAB instructions, this site, and the STAB site.

Right now, I have one set of outputs from the LNBF (one C and one L) connected to a 4x1 switch; the RCVR output of the switch goes to the LNB input of the motor, and the RCVR output of the motor goes to the RCVR in the house.

Nothing...no quality at all. I am trying to pickup the closest SAT to my LONG as stated in manuals. I'm looking for AMC 5 at 79W.

I did some research and found the Bearing to be at 182.30 and the Elevation to be at 49. I took an angle meter and long level. Setting the level across the front of the dish and measuring the angle on the dish, it is no where near 49. In order to get 49, I have to set the dish elevation to around 44.

I tried this too, but still nothing.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Thank you all in advance.

Respectfully,
James

For 79w you need to run your motor to 79w.
Than you need to change the elevation of your dish up or down ever so slightly,giving the receiver time to react to the adjustments and you need to rotate the motor ever so slightly until you get some quality on your sreen.You will get there.I am just going thrue it myself.I have top quality on 5 sats now but still need to do some tweeking.
Good luck,Reinhold.

Make sure your linear side of your lnb is set as 10750 and the circular to 11250. You also have to have the DiSeqC settings set in the receiver.
