[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1076249, member: 178786"] If using an actuator for motorised elevation the other option would be to source one with an optical switch instead of a reed switch. The optical switch versions have greater resolution for fine tuning but are generally a short stroke length. They are OK for azimuth motorisation on a narrow range arc. "CH" sold a SuperJack version of one last year with the caveat that it might have a reed switch in it. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/superjack-haol-3606-inclined-orbit-elevation-motor-boxed-brand-new.173226/[/URL] The optical switch uses a 5V source, if the actuator cable has 5 cores it probably indicates an optical switch. The LINAK optical actuators I have for sale are with 5 core cable and optical switch. Some of the older v-boxes came with the additional 5V connector for powering optical actuators. [/QUOTE]
