[QUOTE="mhku, post: 104957, member: 190842"] Latest chapter in my DB saga: I am having problems controlling my Motek motor. For example, when I use the "goto zero" in MOTOR SETUP (or choose a channel and the DB says "moving to 19.2E") nothing happens. So I look at the motor and the green light is off. I put a voltmeter in the cable (motor end) and the voltage was less than 5v. So I use a "hit and miss" method to try selecting different sats and try again. I recheck the voltage and it is now 18v, so I plug it back in and the light is now on so I press the manual button. Whoa! it moves, so I let go, press it again and it moves one click, light goes off. No amount of messing with the DB can make it come back on. So, is this a hardware or software problem (with the DB)? Am I right in think V transponder settings send a higher voltage then H (13v vs. 18v)? What is going on? :( Running Gemini image on DB500s (When reading this, please insert [i]lots[/i] of [b][color=Red]strong[/color][/b] adjectives). [/QUOTE]
