[QUOTE="Chris76, post: 734393, member: 338697"] Hi guy's Ref:irishguy I was asked by the fellow member for help and advice which i did no problems. post one omitted a couple of key facts the first being that the motor was initially setup for 0.8w as the ref and was working okay using the 1.2's. so i replaced the lnb by taking down the pole to the height of the eve's for access to the dish and motor.Then pushed the mast back up but as irish stated maybe abit lower due to the height of the pole and the T bracket look fairly unsafe and was starting to warp with the weight of the assembly but the line of sight in my opinion was okay as i did overshoot 28.2 but wouldn't lock in. Now back to the start i realigned the mount and made sure it was plumb and slowly found thor 0.8w getting 98% quality and 14.3db in the v which is as good as it gets with a 1m dish in NI as the motor already has been set to 0.8w i didn't use the reset button on the motor as i didn't feel the need for this. I then using the correct usals picked bbc world news on 0.8w and the motor drove to 4.8e????? But the zero point on the motor was set to thor so after playing around i got up and reset the motor via the reset button but same result was given the motor moved to astra 4.6e? Also the motor wasn't taking commands correctly having to reboot the 800 several times to get it to move correctly. So im thinking the motor is out using the usals by 3.8degrees any ideas as to why this would happen guys as i would like to get irish sorted asap.. Chris [/QUOTE]
