It is nice to know I am not the only one with a problem with this at the moment. I have a close to plumb 2 degrees off front to back pole that I am trying to set this up for a client and I can get true south with satellite Anik F1 only 1.3 degrees west from south for me. I set that satellite and now I get the top of the arc but not the the sides. I get G3 and it starts to drop off at Intel 6 cannot even get AMC 3 or Galaxy 10. If I get Amc 3 I do not hit the top. I have checked and re-checked my dec angle and made sure my latitude matched the motor but no luck. I have used the Usals protocol to get my south because it makes life setting these motors up such a breeze. I check my Usals with USPOS.exe which does the Usals calculations and I could really use someone to tell me what I am overlooking. Normally these are a easy to set up.
