I had the same trouble also until I did some more reading. I found that if you set the scew angle then the elevation for your location and leave them while aiming the compass direction for the strongest signal then fine tune the scew and elevation. Once this is done you have to run a switch test to set the switcher. If I can help any further PM me ( Toronto Canada location)

With a sat beeper you can hit any bird perfectly on in a matter of minutes every time. They are only about $25.
