Hi All,
Im setting up my motorised system with USALS and Im at my wits end.
I had motor on pole but wind damaged both so I have new ground mount about 40ft behind house with a technomate TM2600 and 1.1m Triax dish
.
I set Latitude: 52.70? Longitude: -8.70? (i assume -8.7? is w8.70?)
Pole is absolutely straight.Measures 0 deg off all round with angle finder.
I set the latitude scale on the motor between 52 and 53.
The dish mount is absolutely square on rotor arm as good as I can see. Centre of Dish bracket lines up with centre line on motor shaft.
I choose oscar drama on 8w as its the closest south sat to me at 8,7w.vThe motor moved.
I twisted the motor and dish and adjusted the dish to get a picture on 8W.
I can get pictures on 8w and the motor moved to 5w with pictures and stable but signal 60-65%.
Thing is I cant get any other sat on usals.
I have plenty of clearance
I also tried manually aligning 19.2, 13 or 28.2 but cant pick up anything.
I changed cable, lnb and tried old fortec star and still nothing.
On my fixed 28.2 the receivers are fine.
any comments.
