Appendix A
Mount Setup – The setup data of the antenna required in order to point to the
desired satellite.
Mount Latitude Angle – The amount of tilt at the latitude angle pivot point
that is approximately equal to the antenna's latitudinal position on the Earth.
RF – The angle of the antenna bore sight above horizontal (0˚) that is
required to point at the desired satellite when the hour angle is positioned at
0˚.
Mechanical –The angle that can be measured on the back-structure of the
antenna to point the antenna to the correct RF angle for the desired satellite
when the hour angle is positioned at 0˚ (requires that the Mount Latitude
Angle is already set).
Mount Hour Angle – The amount of tilt at the Hour Angle pivot required to
point to the desired satellite.
