I liked the Gabriel “Quick Align” mounts on their small (up to 2 ft) dishes. You stuck a flat blade screwdriver in one of a series of slots and pried to slide the upper plate relative to the lower plate. It sounds hokey, but it actually worked very well, because there was no lash/hysteresis in the adjustment. The slots were staggered so when you ran out of adjustment, you moved to the next slot.
On a related note, I see the Gabriel (or at least their products) has been acquired by mWave.

It depends on how far you're trying to go and your rain zone/rain rate in mm/hour. Of course there is serious rain fade, it's 80 GHz. You just have to engineer the link right.

There is no planning tool on their website, no manual, no firmware download site. Looks like you’ve to pay even for SW-Fixes?
