57E locked, ignore what sats in picture, I will track back and see if I can get anything from 60E I have locked it before on my 1mtr but it was a long time ago and a feed.
Thanks rima, where the dish is in the first picture at the top of this page it probably pointing at 90e its easy to set stops without having to install an exhaust pipe but thanks m8
That looks like a good job rima, on my old actuator I set stops in the actuator and I will with this new one, the dish will now run the full arc even though there is not much around the ends,
Of course, you should be careful with mechanical stop and not let actuator push antenna behind that.
When I set this stop then extend actuator to it's maximum and then fix it to mount.
But, TBH, actuator should be installed to antenna only when antenna is already tuned to all arc. I have special tool to quickly move antenna by hands. On that plank is also possible to make some pencil-marks to remember satellite positions.
Thanks m8, I will set them tomorrow and just track what I have got stored in tonight its dark here now and can not see were the dish is going thanks again rima

OK, if you bolt one side of wooden plank to movable part of antenna. make lots of holes in other side of plank (to be able to change position of antenna). Make mechanical stop and remove actuator. Than that probably will work
Thank you, I only fixed that on to fit the new actuator to keep my settings in place all I need to do now is swing the dish E and W just so it misses the pole and set stops.
There is two wheels in the actuator on is a west stop one is east stop you have to take a screw out and move them around to were you want them to stop east and west is very important one stop will be no good in my situation.
