[QUOTE="Manikm909, post: 1108284, member: 415764"] you know whats weird. on Sunday morning, i drilled a hole through pole and back of motor mount - i made sure USALS was correct and maxxed my signal on 1w by ensuring whole motor assembly was peaked and in the right place, knowing then that motor should never need to be moved (in theory) i also, did the same with the actual pole and T & K bracket (bolt through both) - so the pole - nor the motor mount could move i accomplished this fine...a few metal filings in my face and hair, but went well. later that Sunday afternoon i steered my dish to 52e to watch spurs \ arsenal. had a nice 13db signal for this. later that same evening, i flicked to Sat TV and noticed it was saying no signal, so I steered dish back to 1w - and a VERY faint signal only, then checked hotbird, same - breaking up signal. WTF! i went up ladder to flex dish, and thats when i noticed the slight wobble with motor arm. i then released, that i could get my nice signal back by adjusting my USALS nearly a whole point, East.....i dont like doing this, i like the motor to be correct along with USALS. none of this makes sense to me! i was logical in what i did, but what has happened is illogical to me [/QUOTE]
