6.0Adjust the inclination of the antenna
6.1Orientation
General best practice is to initially align the parabolic antenna vertically to
the ground.
If the surface echo is weak, a small inclination of the antenna toward the
surface slope may improve the performance.
The angle of slope differs during filling and emptying, and thus the signal
strength. Therefore, monitor the entire cycle to verify optimum antenna
inclination.
