LNB:
I have physically rotated/ skewed the LNB about 10% (9.7 recomm.)
LOF L = 09750
LOF H = 10600
Thrshld = 11700
LNB volt. = H/V (not quite sure what that means.)
Diseqc = none
toneburst none
DM500s:
Running Jade Pli.
(I have been mainly trying)
12407 / 29999 V
12487 / 30000 V
*with no success.
*I have tried scanning all freqs, but with no lock, it's impossible to do.
>FEC is set to 2/3 on the manual scans

According to:
(aligned the dish with a compass [used magnetic north -0.4]and inclinometer+ there were vertical measurements on the side of the dish)
**is there a dish offset?, so I would have to move it a certain degree's to compensate this?**
Thanks for any help you can give me.
