[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1108290, member: 176704"] [USER=415764]@manikm909[/USER] has already confirmed that there appears to be "play"/"looseness" in the dish stub on the motor due to "backlash" in the motor gear train, and that correlates with the lack of repeatability when driving the dish to particular sats. OTOH, when he has "substantially reduced" that (almost impossible to [I]completely [/I]eliminate it as that would mean that the gear train would be so tight as to cause the motor to stall/be damaged!) then [I]tha[/I]t is the time at which to "re-zero" the dish on the most Southerly sat, i.e. Thor at 0.8W.
