Polar Mount setup
Posted: Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:43 pm
I am about to throw in the towel on this Cband dish setup. I have a feeling the problem with my dish is the polar mount. My zip code is 27958, I have an old 10' button dish and I have scanned in my true south Sat 78W. I used the dishpointer site to help me scan it in.
I ran into my problem right away and it was all my lack of experience but rather than setting my level meter on the elevation arm I used the center of the dish where the LNB arm fits into. I set my elevation between 97 and 98. It took a lot of tweaking but I was able to get it adjusted but I adjusted the polar mount adjustment so the polar mount is not set correctly.
From there I pointed my dish to 139W and had to a bunch more tweaking to get it to scan in. I am sure you all know what happened when I went back to my southern Sat. Yes you guessed it no signal. I really hope someone can help me out or I am going to be having a fire sale and getting rid of all my dish equipment.
