If you have settings for front and rear mount then you must also have an in-motion version of the Mini-Max (I see you post T as the model number so it is in-motion). If the antenna is moving that means your GPS module is working as it will only turn 90 degrees, wait, turn 90 degrees, wait......until it finds the GPS signal. The front / rear option is based upon where the plug comes out of the base of the antenna. If the plug comes out facing the rear of the coach that the standard setting and requires the 8 only dip switch down. If the cables come out facing the front of the coach that's the other setting.
Now, with the antenna off, go into your receiver and select 18" round, multiswitch and single (not dual? Do you not have 2 cables running in?)
Now, go to Signal Meter followed by Signal Strength. Power on the antenna and watch the signal strength screen. Let me know if you ever see a reasonable signal strength here (even for a second). Also, if you can, listen for the antenna stopping and trying to peak rather than it just continually turning from stop to stop.
