    Abstract: A motorized antenna mount for rotationally and pivotally supporting a satellite dish on a main vertical support pole. A base is adjustably mounted on the top of the support pole by a plurality of plumb bolts to compensate for any vertical misalignment of the pole. A motor housing is pivotally mounted on the base by a hinge and pair of curved pivot guide tracks. An electric motor is mounted in the motor housing and is connected to a drive gear through a gear reducer for rotating a turret which is mounted by a thrust bearing on turret mount attached to the top of the motor housing. The satellite dish is mounted on the end of a support arm which is pivotally adjustably mounted on the turret for declination angle control thereof. The turret has an internal arcuate-shaped gear track extending preferably 180.degree. about a central opening formed in the interior of the turret and engageable with the motor for rotating the turret drive gear.
