Tuning tilt past 140?

[fudwamper]

Can you tune the tilt past 140 degrees? Where i live the receiver says the tilt should be 155. I have signal now so I dont want to mess with it much unless someone knows for sure that you can.

I don't know of anywhere that the TILT would be 155 degrees. Are you sure that it wasn't the azimuth that was listed as 155?

Yea in Hawaii we have an azimuth of 104 23 elevation and 155 tilt. At least that what the receiver gives me for a number when I put in my Lat. and Long.

To answer my own question I needed to rotate the bolt positions on the tilt one section clockwise. I made a cardboard wheel and ticked off the tilt degrees from 90 to 140. I then lined the up the cardboard's 100 to the dishes 140. I then marked out another 20 tick marks. I am going to try and see if I can get better reception.
