[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1063099, member: 404998"] Greetings from a wet and windy Mullion Cove Cornwall. Using a Recent Primesat Box with a Technomate TM-5402HD C1+ Super + with actuators. Some advice from you most learned gentlemen if you would be so kind : ) I have just fitted a new jack as the old one had a small amount of backlash. I set the new jack to the same amount extended, so that after it was installed it was on the same sat about 7 East. As expected when driven to other sats it did not arrive at the correct spot, so I used the third button up on the right hand side of the remote control which allows you to drive east or west and save the position. This all worked fine until trying to set 45 west. I have a scale fitted to the mount that is visible via a camera at the operating position. Using the remote it would move a couple of clicks towards to the correct spot then do nothing, then after a few more clicks go right passed the required setting. The same problem occurred in the opposite direction. If I go into the menu and use the motor setting, I can drive it easily to the correct position and save it. This tells me that it is not a mechanical problem. I did also check to see if the dish moved freely all the way East West, which it does. It will also drive way past the position require to the West no problem. Is it possible that the memory is full in the Primesat Box and requires clearing of all previous settings ? God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
