meter/screen. Then move the dish
very slowly
up and down to peak the signal.
Then turn the LNB very slowly and move it in and out of the bracket. These
steps should be done repeatedly, until the maximum signal is received. Once you
are satisfied with your signal strength, tighten all the bolts.
Using a permanent marker, draw a line on the elevation bracket where the bolts
are and also three (3) lines on the mast bracket to the pole for a reference should
the dish ever move. Confirm the elevation setting on the bracket.
