Hi,
Now that the leaves have fallen, I have a chance of accessing the more eastern end of the arc. However, I cannot make my 7100 move my motor past 53°E. I've enabled and disabled the software limits and been through all the set up menus I can find. The hardware limits on the motor body are not stopping motor travel, as I altered these when the dish was upgraded.
With the dish set on for example 1°W, asking the receiver to scan 68°E results in no movement of the dish. Despite the screen showing "motor is moving".
The manual is, as most Vantage users know, less than helpful!! Is this problem down to a need for a software update, a factory reset or is there a workround?
