Rough peak the satellite reflector for signal on the EA 72.7ºW or the WA 119ºW.
Rough peak the satellite reflector for signal on the Eastern Arc 72.7ºW or the Western Arc 119°W
satellite signal using the azimuth and elevation settings you wrote on page 4. Do not adjust the
skew.
Note: If you cannot find the Eastern Arc 72.7ºW or the Western Arc 119°W signal, try adjusting
the elevation up or down one or two degrees. When peaking on Eastern Arc 72.7ºW, use
transponder 5 or 9. When peaking on the Western Arc 119°W, use transponder 13 or 21.
Tighten three mast bolts and reconfirm signal strength. With the peaking meter still
connected, confirm that the front two mast bolts (the mast bolts that are closest to the reflector) are
tight. Tighten the three mast bolts labeled with a T to the torque values listed in Table 1 (see Figure
8). Reconfirm signal strength after tightening the bolts. Peaking goal at this point is to get signal
locked. Maximizing signal is in a later step.
