[QUOTE="John, post: 1126622, member: 175005"] Yep, when mine was working correctly it was great to use. I fitted the extra caps across motor feed cables & sensor cable connections, even fitted the suggested add-on isolation board etc to cure the counting issue which seemed to do the job. My unit is on the second main pcb, the one that's in it now i suspect has failed again. Before it failed i was getting frequent crashing of the software and having to re-load the saved satellite database, sometimes having to re-flash the firmware. This problem seemed to be set off by any small surge or spikes either on the 240v supply or perhaps the surge on the 36v motor out cables when tugging the 2.2 mtr back from extreme arc positions putting a moderate load on the unit. Did some web surfing last night re: the crashing problem and the users in the US were reporting the same problems but not getting far with any solutions. I was thinking, due to the quality of the casing / front control panel / rear control panel, whether to try an retro fit one of the forum members positioner design pcb's into it ? dunno. [/QUOTE]
