My motor is Stab HH90, and I did not have any problem what so ever with its operation. You may want to exchange it for STab motor. They are the one that created USALS standard! ( I think )

Well, it "wonders" on it's own when ever a command is received "green LED" shows receipt. I can send a "reference" command and it returns somewhere around "0". Lets say I tell it to goto a sat, it acts as if it does not know where anything is what so ever, it goes E<->W over and over, I have tried to manually adjust the sat, aim to G3C or I5 and then hook up receiver, after I have preselected I5/G3C and hit "SAVE" to allow it to store a point of reference for the sat, I then try to goto ANY other sat, it "wonders" and does not stop. (Tried with all 3 brands of FTA as stated above in thread)

Coax is less than 10ft. all work and troubleshooting and install being done next to the sat for fine adjustments, I am not using home/cable runs..
