[QUOTE="Manikm909, post: 1096768, member: 415764"] I don't understand the "3 or 4 arms" comments, lol. I didn't have that issue, i took the dish up to the motor (already on pole), quite easily, clamped it to the motor quite easily, made sure it was straight when motor was set to zero. (USALS already set on STB) - went to 1 west, got a decent signal on Alfa TV - and then began the tweaking, it was when i was testing the extreme ARCs, the motor gave up (10 years old) - i'm hoping its not the weight of the Triax that caused it, it was like stuck at 53e east and wouldn't come up using receiver, or with the manual E and W buttons - got an (red \ orange} light. I do hate the way the slider mount allows the dish to wobble east and west slightly on the bracket rather than just up and down, but i can see once signal is locked in, and locked up, theres no way it can slip - which is good. once the new motor is on and ive got the dish lined up, i might be happy with it, but i'll always be thinking of a 1.2....which leaves me with the decision of getting either a Gibby 1.25 (but wouldnt be able to use new motor as it points down, and not up and needs a mod to bracket) - or the Laminas OFC-1200 - more costly decisions decisions...
