Hello, i am installing a SL5PIG-z slimeline dish. I don't know if it has the swm technology or not. do i need the asl-1 and a power supply to install. I have a acutrac III +..having trouble getting in my HD..any help would be appreciated..mike

Fast answer: if it's only got one coax output, it's a SWM. If there are four, it's not.

4 post guess not a swm...The acutrac III is a good meter...having trouble aligning the dish..i have never had this much trouble. I even put in a 6x6 post which is perfectly level and i have put a level on top of the mast, and it is level... set dish at 90 find 110 adjust and tighten, then 101 and 119 at 75 degrees, then dither my 110 is at 95,96,95..on my acutrac ka99ku101 13v 13.8,54.1, 55.8
ka99ku101 18v 8, 39.5,55.6
ka103ku119 63.2, 42.5,53.6
ka103ku110/119 61.4, 51.4, 47.4

any suggestions mike

My guess is that your skew/tilt setting is slightly off.

I haven't used a meter for my tuning [just the receivers] "but" if this is a slimline, you need to focus on the 101 first as this is the "center line" SAT.
Get a good level on 101, check tilt with 119, then change over to the 99/103 for your fine tuning [using the adjusters for fine tuning].
Shouldn't take that long.
