[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 6032, member: 174998"] The "positions" quoted are actually pulses-counted at the motor, and their values depend on the motor and receiver, as well as to some degree your geographic location. That being so, only someone at your particular location, and with exactly the same equipment, set up in the same way, would be able to tell you what those values should be for you. The actual satellite locations are represented in degrees east or west. EG Nilesat at 7 degrees west, and Astra1 at 19.2 degrees east.
