- basic tools:
That's why you have an inclinometer for elevation, and a compass for azimuth.
For skew you can be clever and reuse your inclinometer. -
. . . or, you can just
use the force. -
A
digital level is handy, but a cheap inclinometer will get you real close! -
Here's an
inclinometer on Sadoun's site, or check your local Sears or
Harbor Freight.
He's also got a
nice compass, but again, your local Sears, Harbor Freight, or sportsman's store should have something.
I also recommend your local 99¢ store.
They have protractors.
With a straight edge, a string, and weight, you can make a tilt meter.
I buy 99¢ laser pointers to use in LNBF alignment (sometimes you have to make a jig).
Just be warned - the laser beam is not aligned with the body of the device, so do take that into consideration when mounting one.
