Whacked the dish in the back garden...

It's very possible to get 28e, 19e and 13e on a pissed pole. 1. they are very close and 2. they are very strong. I bet you wont hit 26e or 16e, because the pole isn't plumb.

As said by others, the pole must be absolutley plumb, in all directions.

Get your pole plumb, then do a "Goto 0" on your reciever. This should send to motor back to 0deg. Then use USALS to send the motor to 1w and line up the dish by altering the declination (dish bracket angle) and azimuth (move the motor around the pole). You did set the right latitude/elevation on the motor, and centre the dish with the spline on the motor first didn't you ?

Why are you wasting your time mate?, you said you wanted 30W.

Put yourself out of your misery, go get a spirit level.

ur right i don't get 16E erm.. but whats the easiest way to make pole plumb ?

[Robbo]

Fit it to a wall, or other solid object with T&K's


or

Dig a hole and concrete it in straight.

You might try putting little pieces of metal between the clamp and the pole to move the pole the direction it needs to go, this is only needed because you did not make the pole plumb when you were putting it up. You should have a bit of come and go in the wall mounts in and out, but for right/left, as you look at the pole the only thing is to put the bits of metal in, or if you are feeling brave undo the bottom mount and move it till you get it right.
