Yes I did! After experimenting with the motor & settings on my desk, I think I'm beginning to understand what might have happened.
In tinkering with some new settings, I had one bird which was set for Diseqc 1.2 - all the others are set for USALS. It appears that these two don't play nicely together. I now think that when I selected the bird that had Diseqc, the motor went to the eastern limit & locked up. I've simulated this in a desk top experiment.
I also thought (due to lack of clear instructions in the user manual) that you should click the "store" command button. Although I don't know why, this seems to spell trouble as well.
Please help me (& others following this thread) to understand this very confusing area of the
SM3D12 motor setup & operation.
Best regards

To explain. On several occasions now - during setup of USALS - my SM3D12 has rotated to its extreme east limit & stopped there. Usually, the setup & operation of the motor works fine. It is only rarely & unexpectedly that this happens. When it stops at the east limit, it will not respond to any further USALS commands from the receiver. I am however, able to use Diseqc 1.2 commands, or the switches on the bottom of the motor, to manually rotate it away from the east limit.
Since I do not understand how this can happen; I may be causing it by improper use of receiver commands during setup of USALS.
Your helping me to better understand the use of your motor will be very much appreciated.
Best regards
