Coral is on a distinguished road
I don't blame you for being confused. Forget the two other receivers for
the time being. I have started with a new channel list for both receivers
since I will have to use the Other on the other receivers:

Channel List of satellite positions.
====================================
(01) 27 Turksat 1C Other 01 : 42.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(02) 28 Hellas Sat Other 02 : 39.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(03) 29 Astra 2 Other 03 : 28.2°E
---------------------------------------------
(04) 30 Badr 3 (Arabsat 2A) Other 04 : 26.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(05) 31 Astra 1 Other 05 : 19.2°E
---------------------------------------------
(06) 32 Eutelsat W2 Othe6 06 : 16.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(07) 33 Hot Bird Other 07 : 13.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(08) 34 Eutelsat W1 Other 08 : 10.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(09) 35 Eutelsat W3A Other 09 : 7.0°E
---------------------------------------------
(10) 36 Nilesat 101 Other 10 : 7.0°W
---------------------------------------------
(11) 37 Telstar 12 Other 11 : 15.0°W
---------------------------------------------
(12) 38 Hispasat 0ther 12 : 30.0°W
---------------------------------------------
That way I know I can get them to work together.

What I have done so far is have set my (problem) receiver exactly
as you have described in your 4th. paragraph.

So now is a fresh start after setting the motor to factory default
(clearing the memory)

As you can see from the list I'm moving from East to west so it will be
easyer to find the next sat for storing.

After I have set all the sats in the above order (on just one receiver).
It appared that when I went to Turksat, no matter how much I waited
it would never show and going back to Eutelsat it showed up in a blink
on an eye.

Then I went back to the settings and after manually moving the motor,
I again stored Turksat which reversed the situation on just these two
sats, all others are fine.

Next I went up to the roof and found (as expected) that the last stored
position caused the motor to remain stationary when any one of these
two sats. are called.

If I'm being too much of a headach just drop the reply but it would be nice
to have your views.
