HH Motor installation instructions

[Sadoun]

For those of you who have experience now in installing an HH Motor, what would you like to see modified, added, or deleted, from the following instructions sheet:

As you know, there are alot of questions about this setup and I want to make it as clear and accurate as possible. This will make it easy for new installers to setup their HH Motor.

i think you have to be more clear on the actual dish elevation.
Instructions are pretty clear its just confusing on where or what to set the dish elevation.

In my opinion, I don't see the confusion on the dish elevation. There are 2 formular to calculate the elevation for each type of h-h mount (Stab and SG2100). The "Aiming True South" part is a bit confused for the new users. I sugest it needs to be rewritten by using non-tech words such as:
a. Your truesouth sat is the one located at your Lat deg
b. Azimuth of truesouth sat = 180 +/- magnetic deviation.
c. If elevation adjustment is needed when tuning the dish, remind the users "only adjust the Dish Elevation".

In addition, a link for active transponders of all sats will be helpful for users when tuning the dish.

Also need to explain:

1. HH motor elevation and value to to set.

2. P value when using Dish Elevation with HH Motor P-(60-Latitude)

3. True south sat depending on where the person is located and +/- magnetic declination.

4. Signal strength and quality strength on Fortec receivers.

5. How to calibrate with signal meter or receiver

6. Explain how to use DiSecq 1.2 or ULAS. (What's the difference?) Which one is easier to use? Which one is more accurate?

I've come to all these questions when installing Fortect with HH120 for the very first time.

Thanks.
