[QUOTE="A nonymous, post: 636287, member: 240839"] Your dish is off the arc mate. Its dropping off past 28.2e by the sounds of it. By past experience if its tracking most of the arc Its usually caused by the dish not being central on the rotor arm :eek: Send the motor to 1w. Move the dish slightly east or west on the rotor arm then adjust the motor back into 1w :) I had this problem on a friends setup which kept dropping off the arc at about 20w. This did the trick and it now tracks from 53e to about 45w before it hits the wall :D :-beer Nano [/QUOTE]
