[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1073194, member: 369937"] A V-Box II is going to put out 36 volts DC when moving a "C" band linear motor, it would be best to use a DVM to test this, (any cheap one from a hardware store will do) as using a 12 volt bulb may work for an instant before it burns out, also a 12 volt battery will be very under powered to run the linear motor, two or three in series may work better. But the true test would be the DVM, it will switch between the plus and minus voltages as you try and move East or West as the V-Box tries to move the dish via the motor. Also is the motor on your dish rated for 36 volts???? Some smaller ones used 24 volts, I would check this out before anything. [/QUOTE]
