What's "go to x.x."???
The moral is, all receivers speak different languages, but most of them show "Go to reference" meaning move to Posotion 0 on motor shaft scale.
........
I have problem now myself with
Satcontrol motor, and that problem is not resolved with "Go to reference" reset: when I try to move to another satellite, let's say, from
IA5 97 to G10R at 123, instead of moving west, motor moves all way east, and get stuck there. I saw it last night being on my roof.
Even pressing the "West" pin button won't help: motor makes a ticking sound but won't move
. Same with "Go to reference": it moves all way to the east hard limit and freezes there.
I think, may be two reasons why it's happening:
A. Motor got a virus, or malfunctioning for mechanical reasons.
B. Receiver does not supply enough power to move the motor.
Does anyone know, which of two is true?
I played with a second receiver recently, and that involved a lot of short way moves for tweaking. I connected these two receivers to the same LNB input via A/B switch. All the times I needed to switch from A to B, I powered both receivers off. However, I think, motor, maybe, storing positions for both of them, and they may not necessary match.
Now I disconnected second receiver completely, and last night while on the roof, connected directly receiver and motor with a short cable, but still there is that weird problem.
Good news: I still can control a motor, but in very weird way:
When motor stops at east hard limit, which for me is 79° W, I send it to AMC5 sat, just temporary to watch KTEL or other stations there, then I select any other sat, and then it moves!
But, it's not normal, and I am looking for suggestions
