presleyhome Posted April 4, 2005 CID Share Posted April 4, 2005 I know the installer used the zipcode only to get pointing directions etc. The zipcode at our location covers miles and miles and miles. If I manually enter the lat / lon numbers and re-peak the ant, will I need DW to do anything on their end? I'm hoping I can adjust for best sig, adjust for highest ACP, and lock things down without any intervention needed on their part. Is that so? Thanks!

php Posted April 5, 2005 CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 no, the dish is already fine-pointed right where it has to be... the zip code just tells him about where to point it, he still has to move it around a bit to get the best signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh24 Posted April 5, 2005 CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 My installer could not even get my zip code to take. He put in a zip code 20 miles away to get me set up when I was changing birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presleyhome Posted April 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 5, 2005 OK, now that you all have said that I understand where I was confused. I'm still going to re-peak it. I know they don't like that, but the install was pretty marginal, and I have a Birdog meter and an OPI, so what the heck. Everything else about the install was poor (no grounding, signal in low 50's etc.), so I have no confidence that the peaking was done correctly. Thanks again, you guys always make me think...that's good. Jim P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
