[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 846726, member: 325666"] I had considered this Llew ..and it wouldn't gain anything really as doubling the pulses electronically wouldn't produce a pulse that actually represented a 'real' position in relation to the rotating magnet .. ie ..it would simply produce 2 pulses at the point where the reed is activated .. Yes you would count more pulses ..but the position data would be the same ..unless you got the second or 'non' pulse to land exactly in the gap between genuine pulses thus shutting off power to the motor in a gap .. It would ..sort of work ..but guaranteed accuracy ? ...returning to a stored sat position .? I have my doubts. ..Due to loading on the dish ..and rise and fall on the arc ...the speed varies slightly ..and an electronically generated second pulse in theory could end up overlapping a genuine pulse during dish movement ..errors creeping in over time.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
