I temporarily install a sector in place of the dish on one side and use it as a guide to get me the best signal from the other side. Then go back and remove the sector and install the second dish. I can usually get it dead on pretty quickly.

Details: When deploying ptp dishes... One team doing both ends at different times. The first dish must be aligned without a connecting radio at the other end. We know how to get uptilt/downtilt/azimuth from Radio Mobile. Uptilt/downtilt is easy to do with a simple gauge. Azimuth is a different story. If you can see the site that you're aiming for, no big deal, but what if you can't? We have a number of backhaul upgrades to do in the next few months, and we have alot of fog here in the mornings this time of year.
