Nice thing is that you can get elevation to a tent of a degree or better on the
cheap. Accurate azimuth is the hard one.
So of you had a tenth of a degree on elevation and “close enough” on azimuth
you could always find the main lobe.

Yeah, 1 degree would certainly be useful. We recently put up a couple of 80ghz
links, that have something like a 0.4 degree main lobe... the hard part is
getting close enough to be sure you're not in a side lobe - once you get there,
it's easy enough to aim with signal levels, and 1 degree is probably good
enough for that on almost anything.

Not huge if you consider most of the main lobes are that wide or wider, so
just as long as you can get it close enough to tweak with signal levels, that
is all you need.
If you are thinking of a set it and forget it, a tenth of a degree would be
needed for that. Depending on frequency and gain of course.
5 mil meaning?

Get it down to 5mil accuracy and then we are talking! :) 1deg is huge!

One of my sons worked on doing something similar all last summer. He ran
out of time before we finished it. We got down to about 1 degree azimuth
accuracy. Maybe we will finish it someday.

Wanted to see if anyone had any experience using these alignment tools?
If so would you recommend this product over others brands out there? besides
the buying new directly from the manufacturer is there another good place to
buy one or find a used one?
Thanks for the help!
