[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 887364, member: 325666"] Mighty frustrated after seeing Prides numbers I admit.. mainly because I used to get more or less ALL transponders on 58W ..so what has changed.. Well ..it appears that the V box doesn't get to position 27 (58W) very often .. In actual fact it is hitting E2 instead .. that is to say the endstop E2 and 27 appear to be too close together and since the plastic cam in the actuator head is fixed for the Western (fully closed position) I can't pinch a bit.. Looking at the jack when it supposed to be fully closed there is still a couple of inches of the extension (inner jack) showing. I'm sure this was never the case with the old superjack ...so I can only assume the heavy duty superjack+ is constructed differently.. You will remember I was very p1ssed off at the time I installed it as it counts in 2s not 1s ..so accurate positioning is never easy since it was fitted. Anyway I've slid the whole jack further into the rose joint clamp about a cm .. non of the outer sleeve of the jack extends beyond the clamp now ..in fact it is about 5mm recessed inside it .. No doubt this has robbed me of 64East ..but there's sod all there for me anyway. Bad design I calls it.. anyway I was previously getting 1.5 db unlocked Mariavision 58W.. Now locked at 6.2 db.. So in light of this I'm re-scanning 58W with Christina ..and expecting maybe a couple more transponder locks. We shall see. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
