need help finding far western sats

[AcWxRadar]

Quasimodem, I made some adjustments to my system today. I did change the motor lat and based on the pic of this thread, I was able to determine my azimuth was slightly off. I can now lock good signal on 72, 74, 79, 83, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97 (TS), 99, 101, 103, & 105.

I really want 116.8 but think it may in fact be a LOS issue. I am not going to mess with it too much more. I'll set up a fixed dish for that bird if need be.

So while it is strongly recommended to set the motor lat and not move it, I found that it was not the case for my installation. Just thought I'd let you know.

Empiretc and Quasimodem,

I would like to dispel a slight myth about setting your motor latitude. I am not going to post it here. I will make a brand new thread for this, so please look for it. I want to make it more visible to all forum users, so I am posting it separately as it's own mini-tutorial.
