[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 879135, member: 389459"] After some advice (thanks CJ), perserverance and swearing I've managed to scan 70.5E. I'm listening to CBCRAD at the moment, although strangely it seems to be playing two different songs at the same time.... Either that or it's one bloody awful one. What did the trick was manually editing satellites.xml and positioning the satellite at 69.4E - clearly something in my setup is off and requires correcting for this satellite (although strangely 68.5E works fine). I figured out that something like this needed doing by going into the "positioner setup" - goto X was giving me nothing but blipping "fine movement west" 8 times was giving me a bit of a signal. The pole is near as dammit plumb, I'm using USALS and my co-ordinates are correct. I'd think that maybe the motor was sagging a bit, but then I suppose I'd need to key in a position further to the east, not further to the west. If there is a more intelligent way of correcting the dish position (Openvix, solo2) I'm all, er, ears. Gibi 1m XP, Inverto Ultra Single. 5dB. [/QUOTE]
