2.6 Setting the Skew Angle
(European Systems Only)
The Antenna LNB skew angle must be adjusted to optimize
channel reception. Refer to your satellite service provider for the
proper skew angle for the selected satellite service and
geographical location. The skew angle for KVH predefined
satellites can also be obtained by using a PC connected to the
maintenance port. Enter your latitude and longitude using the
GPS command (refer to
Appendix E.6 for details) and then type
SKEWANGLE . The system will respond with the skew angle for
whichever satellite is currently selected.
Adjusting the LNB Skew Angle
1. Determine the skew angle for the selected satellite
and region.
2. Loosen the wing nut on the LNB clamp so that the
LNB can be moved.
3. Carefully rotate the LNB so that the scribe mark
on the LNB clamp is aligned with the proper angle
measurement.
4. Tighten the wing nut and LNB clamp to secure
the LNB.
