winegard sg2100 true south

[mr.crane]

ok. i know my true south satellite is 121 west..my long is 120.61154. ok. here is my question! i know that the center of the motor and center back of dish shoul face true south. understand that. now without using any usal or disecq on the coolsat pro receiver....can i manually turn my whole assembly to find my 121...i know my motor elevation = 53 deg and dish elevation 24 deg...my lat. is 37.398019..once i find the dish logo. can i tighten everything up. and then go to the receiver setting and store 121 with long and lat...and then start searching for the complete arc...lately it is someone what confusing, many people with different ways to find the true south...from my location i should be just about dead center to my true south...what do you think Pete and Iceberg and other mods and members?

You have got it exactly right! You should keep everything at the zero position and move the whole assembly back and forth until you hit the satellite, then slight tweaking of the dish for the BEST quality you can get.

thanks for the response Pete! i kind of figured it was right, but wanted a second opinion, you hear so many horror stories, about climbing up and down the ladder. i want to minimize my stay up on the roof...it should be easy as i will be using my Sat Look 3 , comes in handy...

I was just looking at the specs for the Sat Look 3......... that is one sweet spectrum analyzer . Makes my meter look like a toy. The install should be a breeze for you!

It works great, you can peak the spectrum and then just bolt everything tight. one your sponsers here sells it...it paid off, was doing alot of installs..which i would have had it, back in the old BUD days.
