the motor bracket should be on 53.5 , not 53, then lock it tight

depends on the box as to what you put in the longitude, but minus means you are west of the london meridian , so you may need to put the figures in and choose west

if they are too long to fit in the box, reduce it by altering the last one or two numbers , so 53.4382 can become 53.438 , or 53.44 for example

your zero marker on the motor points to true south, you may not even have a sat there , but that is where it points, to true south (not magnetic south)

then you send the motor to 0.8w using usals and find thor by moving the motor left or right on the pole, and the dish up or down slightly

then check 42e and 30w , checking all reasonably good sats in between too , you wont get much outside of these figures , so not 72.1e or 72w

when you can see the arc and get good signals from them, lock it all up
