[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1074028, member: 175144"] An engineer wouldn't create a new system when an old one functions satisfactorily. IRTE brought out a dual motor positioning module for small dishes some 20 years ago. The MEGASAT unit (another familar name from the past) is a control box which - probably - takes the signals from a single frequency on each satellite, using both motors to align the dish to the strongest signal in two steps, and requires an update each time one of those reference frequencies changes through a transponder change. I'm slightly intriqued by the claim of auto skew function though, which would require a third motor and logic processing by the control box. [/QUOTE]
