Usals settings

I have a
Longitude 1.2865° and
Latitude 54.6064° showing on Dish pointer.

My question is have I put these in correctly on gtmedia v8 uhd as shown in picture.

Looks ok.

Was your Longitude of 1.2865 as minus figure ?

If so west is correct. If it wasnt a minus figure you need to use East.

Thank you for your replies to my question.
I had missed off the minus figure.

I have a second hand 1 meter dish.
On the usals settings say the dish angle is 22.4.

The back of the dish has different degree settings on each side of the dishes back bracket.

In the pictures show the degree settings, I am right in thinking the numbers above are dish size.

On one side 85 the other 68 with 100 below.

That's more likely to be the Elevation angle for the motor given your Latitude of 54.6

The back of the dish has different degree settings on each side of the dishes back bracket.

On one side 85 the other 68 with 100 below.

What dish is it? maybe someone who has the same dish may know.

Are you trying to install this dish on your motor ?

If you are don't worry about the scale its a guide only.

Best way to sort dish inclination is to send the motor to 0.8 West

Then adjust the dish inclination up and down till you have maxed out the signal.
