[QUOTE="a33, post: 1031196, member: 332642"] In view of the effect in the procedure (memory erased to default, zero degrees newly set) this can only be a reset command. Not all receivers have a command for that; in that case you'll have to find a reset button on the motor (but not al motors have that...). I don't know why you would need gestimates? With USALS you have to enter the correct site Latitude and Longitude (or modified Latitude, as I wrote earlier) [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)] ~OOOOPS! I see I wrote adjusted Longitude in my earlier post, it should be LATITUDE![/COLOR] The correct text shoud be: [I]When you however have a setup with adjusted motor elevation (axis tilt) and adjusted declination, an adjustment for the USALS commands might be appropriate. That can be done in the USALS-input-data by setting an 'adjusted site [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]LATITUDE[/COLOR]', that is by adding the adjustment angle to the site [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]LATITUDE[/COLOR]. The calculated Hour Angle doesn't change much by that, maximum about 0.07 degrees I believe I calculated once, but on the hard to get satellites, and when you can set [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]Latitude[/COLOR] with only 1 decimal precision, that just might do the job....
