Rich,

I agree it's not hard to setup the SL3 on a tripod. While wiring everything up in preparation for our next trip, I setup the antenna at the storage lot so I could fully test everything. I set the tilt and elevation per the Zipcode settings. I knew the azimuth but start a ways outside that setting and worked my way to where the signal meter on the TV/Receiver reached about 95%. While the initial setting were good enough to reach 95 on 101, 70-80% on 99-103, it isn't what the "initial setup" in the receiver calls complete. But if it isn't raining it's good enough. I have tweaked it perfect before when I had the time, but it takes a lot of patience and a big glass of bourbon.
