[QUOTE="D4ftpunk, post: 1167737, member: 182463"] I made a new cable using higher gauge coaxial and that didn't make much difference, I could get the motor to click but not actually move. Abandoning motor for now until better weather in favour of perhaps getting an adjustable multi-lnb bracket (or 3d printing one as it doesn't seem to be very sophisticated). In other news, I've managed to convince my wife that chopping down a dead tree and mounting the satellite dish behind a bush in a flower bed is ok. For that I'm thinking, fence post very deep concreted in, TK bracket on fence post with dish hanging off. (I think it'll be more sturdy than a 2" pole going directly into ground and concreted in.
