Nice setup. I'm now considering carrying a portable dish and several questions. What model/mfg is your tripod? It looks heavy duty. Is the dish arm bolted on? My 18" dish had rivets which I replaced with bolts for better storage.
Aiming: No issues with my 18" dish. But my phone is not that accurate with it's compass. And in the last 2 sites the dish would be over 100' (who planed those trees in the camp site anyway) from the RV but DW and I have portable radios. I'm wondering about a SWM meter with a battery. Any suggestions?
Here are the three items of hardware.
The list shows a 50' cable but my guess is that a 100' cable would work. I have never used a SWM meter but the signal strength meter on the HR-44 receiver. My wife and I work together during alignment using cell phones to communicate. In my Samsung S5 Android phone I use this Sat Finder app. It uses the phone GPS which is very accurate.
When tuning here is a picture of the 101 satellite that you will be trying to peak.
Hope this helps.
