My main reason for continually coming back to this issue, is that I'm convinced that it is possible to have a perfectly aligned system that doesn't work properly with USALS, and I think that in some cases people are being told to go back and disrupt the alignment of systems that are already aligned. (Again, not in this case, because I don't think it's possible for this system to be in alignment when the person doesn't even know what sat he is on).
This is the problem I had, I was always out 2 degrees, when I sent the dish to 0 it would stop one mark West of zero, I did a reset and I was able to pick up all sats without realigning my dish.
