[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 893948, member: 301161"] Variants of that motor are sold under all different names. Alsat, Clarke-Tech, etc. Nice motor, but some British installers don't like them because the cable comes out inside the bracket, but down here that doesn't matter because elevation is a bit higher. In my opinion better than the 2600 because the cable is well away from the moving parts. On USALS-v-actuator I'd always pick USALS, and that is from the perspective of a person that has both. My actuator setup nails the satellites every time but setting up is a lot of work. I've got 63 positions set up on that dish and the only practical way is to have a spreadsheet to keep track. To find and store all those satellites takes days. Best thing about the actuator is you can tell when the dish is moving because the counter on the V-box is spinning. USALS on the other hand is a luxury because one the dish is aligned there is no more work to do. It's just a pity they don't make something like that for bigger dishes.
