My System: Andrews 1.2 dish. Inverto LNB. Matched feedhorn. Technomate 6800 | How could I miss it. 2 days of scanning in sats, saving to no avail as the motor never moved. WORRA PLONKER I had the motor settings to USALS and not to diseq 1.2. Unbelievable..... Do i get plonker of the year award?

My System: 90cm channel master dish @1west, vantage x221tsci, skystar 2, diablo v2.3, setanta on 60cm minidish | good to see you got it working, never tried usals on the vbox as i wondered if it could work some how but guess not wonder if it would be possible to make a 36volt motor with usals software built in or rather in the vbox as i've seen diseqc 1.2 actuators | ||

Perhaps there's no demand for it, as most beginners will probably start with the Diseqc 1.2/1.3/USALs motors, and by the time they move up to 36V they know how to use it. | ||
