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.

OK, I think I understand. And my only headache is that it is a strange symptom, and I can't immediately think of any reason for that happening.
I assume that this is happening on the receiver where the sats are defined 1-12 rather than 27-38? If so, could you use some other pre-defined location that you aren't using to save one of these 2 sats, like maybe location 13 or 14??? Or if the strange symptoms are when using the receiver where they are defined as 27-38, perhaps save one of those 2 sats as 39 or 40???
Anyway, that's a strange symptom. Are the numbers 1-12 actually listed in the setup page for those satellites, or is that just the order that the sats are defined? If the latter, it sounds like a firmware problem in the receiver, where it's just sending the same number to the motor for both those sats.
Strange.
