Yes I agree, the latitude scale is on the other side of the motor (Moteck motors have both scales), the latitude has been set on the elevation scale by mistake.
It concerns me also that you say you can only get 28.2 East, is that when moving the motor with the receiver? If it is, then you have missed out the most vital step and that is finding your nearest to due South satellite.

strange ye can find 28!...try reset...
Lat set on motor 'ok!'
Motor set to zero
Dish set to zero (approx 40)
Lnb (no skew)
Face the lot 'true south' forget tring to aim at any sats!
go to stb and use yer remote select Thor 1 or 5 west FTA channel...motor will move look at the signal..then back up the ladder and tilt the dish 'few' degrees vertically upward to see any gain, try any other sat and slowly adjust the dish tilt if no further gain tight-up (sat meter would help...save all the dish tilts) hope this helps:toke:
M8...just spotted yer prob!....Lat 56...yer Motor should be set at 34...see table at back of 2100a Manual
yep got that part and now i changed it , i stil only get 28.2 and its still reading 5 deg and i know it should be 28 deg east lol , this is what i done
1 made sure that the dish,motor was all in line
2 i found south on a compass and turned the whole thing ,motor,dish on the pole to south(or near enuff)
3 i looked for thor and asked dish to goto thor and it traveled slightly one way then onto what i assumed was 1.0 west(am i right?)
5 tried to get a good signal on a meter manged to get it to go to about 9 on the scale ,and to about 10 while tilting the dish up and down (isnt that good?)
6 went back in to check signal on box and all i could get was and agc of 99% a ber of 100-500 and a snr of only 60%
7 am now thinking it mite be hardware fault or i mite still not be lined up properly (lol which doesnt surprise me )
8 i have tried numerous images and all the same readings or near enuff..........................................................................................................
ooooh forgot to say i still have 28.2
