While using the inclinometer on an offset dish (like dsthyV ones) just remember the dish points up in the sky by about 22 degrees (offset angle) than it looks . SO you need to subtract about 22 deg on the inclinometer to find the angle it is actually pointing at in the sky (on the eastern arc) and add about 22 deg on the inclinometer to find the angle it is actually pointing at in the sky (on the western arc) to find the correct satellite angle.😀😀😀😀 Welcome to the club buddy. Wait till a no.10 spanner lands on the dish on a calm night at 11p.m as you fine-tune your set up. The thing is damn loud!!😀😀😀
What's your location by the way?
To assist with those angles, here's how to make yourself an inclinometer:
