[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1142665, member: 369937"] The could be other reasons that your not tracking right, one is that the pole (or mast) is not rigid enough, and the dish is sagging. two is that the pole or mast mounts are flexing when the dish gets to one side of zero location. How is the pole/mast mounted (in the ground with or without concrete, or mounted to a wall, on the roof with a tripod mount, or other structure) and what type and how thick is the pole/mast? And how long is it to the bottom of the motor from the last support. One way to check this is to use two small sperit levels, one mounted just below the motor in an North/South orientation, the other the same location orientated East/West, do this with the dish and motor at Zero,then move the dish/motor and see if it changes.
