Complete FTA newby:
I have a question about my mount that I've Googled for til I was blue in the face - but I just can't seem to find the answer.
When setting the elevation on my motor mount, there are scales on both sides. One is for elevation angle and the other is for latitude, I understand their relationship and that I can use one or the other (using elev).
The question is, what part do I align with the scale on the bracket? The front of the bolt? The rear of the bolt? The center of the bolt?
I also understand I'll still want to peak the signal with my meter afterwards, but I also know if the elevation is off just a bit, that will throw off my reception the further east/west I go... I want to make sure I'm right when aligning the dish.
FWIW my setup:
GeosatPro HD
Winegard 2076 dish (24° offset, I believe)
Sadoun Universal Ku Single LNBF
SG6000 motor
32.5580N, ~95W
