Can't get elevation right on dish for FTA

[xtra]

I have had my St3688 for 2 years and I am still trying to find T5 and the rest of the satellites. I bought a Eagle Aspen meter and I am finding all kinds of satellites except the ones I want. I have a motorized dish with an offset universal LNBF. Somehow I don't think my elevation is right. Can anyone tell me how to get the coordinates for my location? I set it with the same coordinates as my big dish but I don't think it is right. Lat. 36.441 Long. -77.166. My meter will go nuts on the different satellites. But I can't get on the arc of T5 and all the rest. Can some one help me?

Hello and Welcome to the SatelliteGuys.US FTA forum.

(SG2100 Motor settings (true south)
Motor Elevation= 54 deg.
Dish Elevation= 24 deg.)

Give us your Zip code and we can give you all the angles for your location.

You have a meter, GREAT!, this works with with a standard LNBF. Sorry it does not help with most Universals. It can be used if you have a DTV/Dish network dish and LNBF LO 11250.


Good luck and keep us posted.
