ABSTRACT:
An alignment mechanism for aligning an antenna to a satellite configuration is disclosed. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises an antenna for receiving the satellite signals, a mast, for mounting the antenna to a desired location, and an alignment mechanism, coupled between the antenna and the mast, comprising an azimuth mechanism having a predetermined pre-load for adjusting the azimuth position of the antenna, and an elevation mechanism, coupled to the azimuth mechanism, for adjusting the elevation of the antenna, wherein the azimuth mechanism has a radius larger than a radius of the mast, and the azimuth mechanism further comprises a fine adjustment mechanism.
