No matter how I set up I always end up with a part arc,
Ive tried every combination of elevation/declination angles, diseqc 1.2 /usals,repositioned goto 0,all with same results never a complete arc !
Ive also noticed the LED gives different positions to actual ie 48 E instead of 42 E ( .8W as .8W ) 32W instead of 30W
My mount pole is perfectly vertical.
By altering just the declination angle of the dish from where it is set on 42 E to a different angle for 30W I pick up the satellites every time, so i know the motor is stopping at the right positions,but the arc is never right!
When I set my old motor CRYPTIK (Stab) back up from scratch within 15 mins i,ve get the complete arc,
I,ve set up on 2 different vertical mounts and get same results from both
This is making me think the geometry of the Supreme motor is not correct!
Any thoughts ??
