Motorised dish setup

[thejoker]

I agree, usals is simple setup but it's not working for me for whatever reason. My coordinates are definitely correct

Please don't take this the wrong way, which of the following options do you want to do?

A. Cheat and compensate for misalignment by using "wrong" co-ordinates in your USALS setup.

B: Align dish correctly. Despite what you may think it most likely isn't. You can check by using USALS on the TM.

Yeah, I have a feeling the dish could be out. Im going to put mode to positioner, put in my coordinates, reboot box and select bbc 1 on 28.2 east. Then will get dish aligned to 28.2e. I have a cheap konig sat meter I will try, if thats no good the shop down the road has a decent meter.

Would that be ok to try...

Better not use a cheap sat meter. Better use the satfinder of the solo itself; if you would use the skin Magic-HD you'll find the screen large enough to be readable from a distance.
Otherwise use an application like SignalMeter from

www.krkadoni.co

on your lappy or smartphone.
SNR is the value you should use, not AGC.

Also, don't align according to 28.2. You need to align at true south. Most likely scenario is to tune to 1w, and stick BBC world on, and get the best signal for that service...

In a nutshell, yes.

That is the answer to the question: Do you ban people who post hidden links?

I think motorised setup is a thing of the past over here as too much time and trouble setting it up and they prefare multi lnb with a bigger dish.

i wouldnt use BBC world, use a weaker TP - and maximise signal on this, this will get the most out of your dish.

Looks like Sicilian has banned the person I quoted and deleted the subsequent spam posts.
