While observing the Signal Quality reading, slowly move the dish
towards the right. Reference the distant landmark or the string on the
ground that you identified in your site check that corresponds with
the Azimuth (compass) reading. Usually the satellite will be found
within a few degrees either side of the compass reading.
If the dish is moved beyond 15 degrees from the site’s compass
reading and no Signal Quality is detected, sweep 15 degrees in the
opposite direction. The Signal Quality readings will increase as the
correct satellite is detected and fine tuned. If the dish is aimed at an
incorrect satellite, the Quality reading will display a low reading.
Note: The Signal Level is not important in detecting the satellite. Signal Level
readings indicate a connection to a functioning LNBF, not the detection of the
correct satellite.
If no Signal Quality is detected, increase or decrease the elevation
by one degree and repeat the slow sweep. The elevation may need
to be ad/- 5 degrees depending on the post being plumb.
Move the dish very slowly to allow the receiver to process the signal
information and update the meter. A movement of just 1/16th of a
inch can result in a perfect or no signal. This process may need to be
repeated many times to aim and peak the quality of the signal.

The meters show that there is good
Signal Level and good Signal
Quality readings.
