There is a chance that without having a second motor to lift the whole assembly, the ones that you cannot get are either in an inclined orbit, or are at parts of the arc that the dish cannot correctly track, possibly as a result of incorrect set up of the elevation/declination settingsBy the way, modifying the mount in the first place to accept a second actuator would aleviate most of the tracking problems. Its a bodge to adjust with a 'moving' elevation bolt, but allows instant correction if the wind or a bearing collapse cause the dish to go off station</blockquote>
