    Anyone has the instructions in aligning a Polar Mount linear jack type of dish? (Also known as H-H Mount). The difficult part would be to align the declination angle.
    Thanks

    I to would be very interested in this. Also as the jack/actuator is run via a vbox what additional steps would need to be taken? What is the start position of everything on a Polar Mount?

    but great guide and info if it could be expanded PLEASE. G

    If the box reboots when you enter sat finder or try to change satellite, I think it's a problem with the power supply.

    Looks like you are looking at a minimum of 110cm dish, mate.
