So unless you assume that calibrating the motor's zero position is part of the alignment, then USALS doesn't always work.
I *THINK* that with most motors, that you can calibrate the zero position just by manually setting it to zero and doing a hard reset. I've never bothered doing that on mine, because I was afraid that it would change all my diseqC-1.2 positions, but I think it would work.

At least with the
HH90 Bill, I never had a problem. Once I got it aligned, it would track 72 and track 123 and everywhere else in between.
Now, I have indeed fine tuned the thing with 1.2 for the strongest signal, but I assume I could of done away with that by putting a bit more time in tweaking the alignment.
At any rate, little of this matters. This guy said that USALS on his dish was so far off that it was tracking the WRONG Satellites. I never seen one that far off......
