When I first got the motor, a few weeks ago, when you send it to the reference position, it was just about 1 little line east of the center zero position. Yesterday, when I sent it to the reference position, it must have been 4 or 5 lines east of the center zero position. I haven't tried it again since then. Last night, I programmed in the 4 or 5 sats around AMC3 (which is the main sat I watch), and today it has been able to go to other sats and come back.
I'm half wondering if it's a humidity thing. Yesterday was a real wet rainy day, while today is nice and dry. But next time it loses it's position, I'll try the goto reference thing, and see where it goes.
It's too bad that it's almost impossible to get your head in between the dish and the motor to see the markings on the motor. I'll have to take mirror with me next time.
