[QUOTE="tornado-Odessa, post: 163931, member: 200175"] @Rolfw I finally climb on top of the roof, couple of reasons. First, I was lost and had no idea where the dish was pointing, it seems that drive to 0 is not working, only the direction step is working. The rotor or Motor, is a Strong SRT DM2100. I had my wife step to the east 10 times while I watched it turn to try and find out what one step is, well it is to small for me to tell, maybe one degree. I have not found anything on the net yet that will tell me what the measurement for the step is, Rolfw - is this a decent motor or should I have it replaced with another ? have you heard of the dm500s haveing problems with drive to 0 ? I have set the dish back to 0, now I will try to find thor. Late last night I did find 39E and 42E, but when storing I could only go to the last one stored, it could not find or the motor would not automatically turn, it had to be stepped... P.S. should the gotoX be checked or uncheck after finding and storing ? [/QUOTE]
