[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 91465, member: 175144"] Sounds like the actuator wires dealing with the sensor have come adrift when you raised it onto the pole. As for floppy at one end, with the newer designs, reduction in the size of the polarmount means that usually at a far extreme angle, the actuator arm will run close to the hinge and this weakens the triangular aspect of the moving parts (two sides of the triangle run close to each other) At this extreme a single count of the actuator pulse - if you had one - could move the dish by a couple of degrees. If the end travel limit is not too important for you , the cheapest method would be to back off the actuator slightly, by changing the cam limit, or simply sliding the worm drive further down the back clamp.
