My road to multi sat (motor)

Dish will come today
And my motor should be here tomorrow

Notice my pole was put up by a blind man lol me and so off lol
 
It should have elevation and latitude scale with setting instructions if your
Latitude is 54.6 line the two arrows up
Just of 55 tried to upload picture of my
Motor but wouldn't load
 
motor here too

tested it on the box and it work

but ...

when your on the box and you go to a different sat, it doesnt line up with numbers on the motor
and the one i went for has a wee lcd screen on it and you can go move the dish manually to get it spot on
 
working at my new dish and motor to day

near feel of the ladder once or twice
but the dish itself is on the pole


i have moved the dish location
i have it half straight and level now

just need to line it up and wire it up

Got 28.2 for 5mims them I lost it
Will try and get a look tomorrow night

It can be tricky enough When i put the
1.2m dish up I used my harness from
work was able to belt onto the ladder
and free both hands Tied the dish onto a rope and pulled it up made it easier Its
getting the position on the ladder right
 
I was lucky I could get the ladder in. Did most of the work on top of the oil tank too lol
Health and safety would have a field day lol

Oh once again @linesman66 thank you for the help last week. Really helped loads
Thank you
 
So I need help with the lining up

The side of my motor says latitude, so mine lat is 54, so I put the motor to 54?

What angel should the dish be at ?

What is this declination angel?

All over my head

Any help would be great
 
A manual should have come with your motor, use the table that comes with it for the angle.
 
Lol not sure about that

On my box when I went to 19 I was getting 28 and when I moved 28 to that place it wouldn’t pick it up

Silly thing lol

that sounds almost [ I say almost ] like you moved the dish on the motor, and not the motor on the pole, and couldnt get 28 as the elevation was out
 
That’s me done for the night
Didn’t get any where

Need a clear head and a few hours to work at it


I set the motor to 54, it says lat on the box not elevation
I set the dish to 27
And nothing

Removed the dish on the motor moved it to the middle the best I could
Nothing

Pointed the motor to south and Thor and nothing much really


I notice when I put the motor to say 28 it won’t go there it will go past it say 37
As my motor has a lcd on it showing where it’s pointed
So don’t know why it’s so off
