Hi I made a video of TJ... rotor here
For me it went east and stopped and went west and stopped (like Dales did) - I RESET it following two tests in both DiSEqC1.2 and USALS and each time his Rotor worked properly but I only videod the specific thing TJ... asked about
when the Rotor was returned to TJ... I made recommendation that like most clients he/she used the Rotor with USALS only the purpose of the Rotor (after all) is to make it easy to switch channels on different satellites - the USALS rotor does this by calculating the correct angle to point from three facts
1) where is the satellite - for example Hotbird is at 13 east
2) what is the client Longitude
3) what is the client Latitude
now once this is established the rotor must move to the correct angle for that satellite - SO LONG AS THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED
I have done my best to help TJ.... but I can't fix a rotor which does what it's designed to do ie moe to and stop at saved or calculated positons for satellites this makes TJ...s rotor fit for purpose and a replacement will work the same way his does now if it's sent the same commands
there is no need to send the rotor to it's limits
and it's limits can be 65 degrees in either direction but also these can be disabled or enabled inside these extremes - if an electronic limit is enabled with some software in some receivers the rotor may either stop or return to zero but this doesn't effect the working of the rotor to stop at a satellite so long as the satellite is not out of range
all receiver manufacturers have the option to have licenced official USALS software integrated into their software but neither of TJ...s receivers have this fake software is definitely a problem (according to STA
because it allows for contradictions to be set up in the commands to the Genuine STAB-USALS Rotorsat - STAB do not charge to integrate their software properly but they do insist on being part of the process (they don't want the problems TJ... is experiencing)
I spoke to Giusi Bergamini about TJ..s claims that the STAB - USALS rotorsat has been upgraded in some way Giusi told me that this is a misunderstanding on the part of TJ.... the STAB-USALS rotor first made in 1999 and the rotor made in more recent times works exactly the same way - what HAS Changed is some electronic components have got smaller changed materials - obviously a STAB Rotorsat is the sum of it's parts and many electronic parts made by some manufactures in 1999 may now have been substituted - none of which changes anything relating to the function
the reason STAB-USALS rotors are used is because they do work well and are very Durable - I have known many clients to have rotors which are more than a decade old and some now more than 15 years - when you consider the aggravation or cost of changing or replacing a rotor especially if you need to involve a third party it's good they are so reliable
I have asked TJ... to contact me for a voice or video conversation many times
and that offer of direct communication is still open
kind regards Tony
