I am getting ready to install my 1st Yaesu rotor on a small 50' tower that will be used for uW work. I have looked over the manual but do not see anything about calibrating the rotor AFTER it has been installed. I may have missed it.

Is there a site or document that describes the procedure for fine tuning the correlation between the displayed rotor direction and the antennas true direction?

I see there are a number of adjustment pots on the back of the controller but it seems the manual only talks about using them for pre-alignment/installation purposes.

Since this will be for aiming uW dish antennas with only a few degrees of BW I want to be able to fine tune the shack dial to the antennas real heading. I plan on aiming a long boom looper at the north star which will get me within 1/2 degree of true, then I want to tweak the indicator box to read the same. TU
