My dish is easy to get to so I have made many fine tuning adjustments myself. I have found that when 99c is in the high 80s that 103c is in the 50s. When I fine tune 103c into the 80s then 99c goes very low. What should I try?
Start anew. Make sure the mast is plumb. Set tilt and elevation per spec for your zip code. Move the dish azimuth to get 101. Peak azimuth and elevation on 101. Check 119 if it has the same readings as 101, ie mid 90s, leave tilt alone.
THEN peak on 103. you should be good to go.
My tilt could be off by maybe 1 degree or a half degree. It's supposed to be at 91 and it is just under the 92 tick. Would that make a big difference? I'll check the mast too. 101 and 119 are all high 80s to mid 90s.
