[QUOTE="goldtar, post: 690994, member: 350957"] Hi all I've given in - I need help! I have recently bought a TM600 and a TM2600 motor and am trying to set it up. I've taken great steps to ensure that the mounting pole is vertical and that I have the latitude set accurately on the motor etc. I can pick up the satellites by using the position option in the motor setup menu. I.e. the arc seems good! However when I follow all the USALS tutorials which say - send the dish to the nearest South satellite (in my case 5W (Atlantic Bird) which is still 2 degrees away from true S, I live at lat 55.142), the motor moves by about a degree and back to zero. It won't move the motor to 5 degrees W to allow me to then manually move the dish to ensure that I have got the nearest south satellite. Is there something in the TM600 box that needs to be reset? I have done hardware resets and even moved to 2 older software/firmware versions incase there were bugs in the most recent UR versions. I have been playing with this for days now and I am getting frustrated)(-red I would really appreciate some help. Many thanks in advance:confused: [/QUOTE]
