[QUOTE="greencajun, post: 1093575, member: 415480"] I recall getting the new motor pointed at 19E for Astra 1 then swinging it west to 13E and getting it set up for Hotbird. Then I turned it east to 28E and set up Astra 2, and after that it would not turn back west. I want to try the same reset on the old motor but have not done so yet. It is a different brand so it might not work. The local who fixed my problem has a theory that somehow a west limit stop was set at 28E, which prevented a westward turn once I moved the antenna east to 28E. He thinks the Go to Reference command ignores stop limits. Maybe he's right, although I certainly did not set a west limit stop on either motor. [/QUOTE]
