Hi all, bit of advise required please
I have an 18 month old Super Jack Actuator on a polar mount 1.2 CM dish. I have noticed some backlash in the ram itself. It is about 2 - 3 mm
BUT by the time that free play is transferred to the dish face i am able to move the dish east / west quite a few degrees....
As an example if i move from 28.2e to 7e i will have perfect signal, but if i then go to 22w and return to 7e i will have to peak the signal again.
Is there any adjustment on the Actuator itself to take up this backlash ?
I have a plan in my head to try overcome the issue using some stainless steel springs.....Obviously this is not an ideal solution !!
TIA
