In the Diseq1.2 Motor menu, when I select 'Move' (East or West) the dish always goes to its E or W limit rather than moving only while the key is pressed. With the key held down it reverts to 'Stop' aftyer a second or so but, as I say, the dish continues to move to its limit. Selwcting 'Ok@ with 'Stop' displayed doesn't stop it. Can anyone throw any light on this - is there some way of stopping the dish ?

Is this a recent problem?

ie Was it working properly originally?

If so, then perhaps you try to recall what, if any, changes you may have made recently and/or could try resetting the Motor if it's one which permits this via a pinhole in the bottom of the casing.

What Motor is it, exactly?
