[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 769869, member: 323322"] Most people don't bother setting software E/W limits and rely instead upon the hardware limits in the motor (normally preset on delivery to 70 either way). In your case, I should actually Cancel any limits, try Satellite positions again and if it still behaves erratically look for other factors: This should include checking that cable connections are tight (My Fortec Turner goes awol if the main cable isn't really secure at the motor end) and resetting the motor itself (Motek clones have a pinhole under the body for access. Do manually drive the motor as close to zero as possible using the buttons on the motor first, as the reset process will cause the dish to zero and if you are up a ladder that can take you by surprise.
