Chapter 7 • Pointing the antenna

Fine elevation

adjustment

The fine elevation adjustment rod (shown in Figure 50) allows

you to make fine adjustments of the antenna elevation. Where

subsequent instructions call for fine adjustment of the antenna

elevation, fine-tune the elevation setting as follows:

1. Make sure the two elevation lockdown bolts are loose enough

to allow the reflector to move as indicated by the arrow in

Figure 50.

2. While watching the signal strength display, adjust the fine

elevation adjustment nuts (

Figure 50) to achieve maximum

signal strength:

a. Move the top nut to allow movement, then make

adjustments with the bottom nut.

b. Adjust by turning the bottom nut a few turns clockwise and

counterclockwise, until you peak the signal.

3. When the signal is peaked, tighten the two elevation

lockdown bolts.

Receive pointing

Receive pointing peaks the receive signal. You must peak the

signal even if the antenna is locked to it.

You use the installation software to check the signal strength.

Then you adjust the antenna to peak the signal. The installation

software shows numerical and graphic indications of signal

strength. Detailed instructions for these procedures are given in

the following sections.
