[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1061719, member: 176704"] I use one of the two 5402's here to set up the dishes down the garden - the other one is in the "office", and thats started playing up today when, I think, it got too hot after changing sat positions often and quickly. Power OFF/ON seemed to fix it until it did it again - looks like a recap might be needed there (will take the lid off in a couple of days to see what looks "nasty"!). Interesting thing, I've been building a list of what I can get on both the TD110 and the TD88, and what the differences in longitude positions are between the two. Used the indoors 5402 (M3 version) for most of the job, and found that there is actually only a minute difference on a few sats (so the 2 dishes are more-or-less aligned the same, albeit, about 1-2 degs W of where they "should" be). Then I rechecked the TD88 on the sats at each end of the arc with the SX88, and found very little apparent difference in sensitivity - if the 5402 couldn't find a sat, then the SX88 couldn't either!o_O Edited: the latter was on the end-of-arc sats where the 5402 could find the sats on the TD110.
