9. SITE ASSESSMENT AND SURVEY
Taking a bearing
Using a website such as
www.dishpointer.com
you can find
out what the azimuth and
elevation requirements are for
finding your satellite, remember
to input the area where your
installation is taking place so you
obtain the correct details.
●
The Azimuth you will need is magnetic as your compass is magnetic.
●
Once you know what azimuth your satellite lies on, you can rotate the
housing so that bearing lies straight with the heading arrow (the image
below shows a bearing directly south)
●
Position yourself with the compass held out in front of you and rotate
yourself until the red compass needle is in line with the red North, the
heading arrow now shows your azimuth to your satellite. You now know
where your Line of Sight lies on its azimuth.
