    Problems with GSP 120 Dish Motor and 90cm Dish

    Apologies for the cross post, as I inadvertantly posted this in the Dish section:

    I have a 90cm Fortec Star Dish attached to a GeoSatPro 120 dish motor.

    I set the Motor elevation to match my Latitude, which is 38

    And I set my Dish elevation according the user manual, which is 24

    The mast is dead on perfect.

    I'm having trouble finding my southern most sat, which is G10/123 although I did use a compass to get it as close as possible.

    I also have an Invacom Quad LNB with both Linear and Circular connected.

    I can get some of the sats, such as 91 and 148, but I have to set my Dish elevation to 31, and I can't get any of the other sats.

    When I set the Dish elevation to the recommended 24 degrees, I get nothing.

    Why the discrepency, and how can I resolve this?

    Thanks.

    Edit: I see that there is an issue with Fortec Dishes and that they are off about 5 degrees on the elevation, which would explain why I get a couple of sats with my Dish EL set at 31 instead of 24, but I still can't get any other sats, nor can I hit my Southern Most sat, G10-123

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
