Hi Everyone,
Any Ideas? I am having a strange issue with my motor. When I first got it I could get all the satellites over the usa 61.5 - 148. Now I can't go past 129 or 83. The motor will start to go to them and then go back to zero then back to the left or right depending which side I tried to go to and just keeps moving back and forth sometimes just moving a couple degrees back and forth near zero. I thought it might be the long cable run about 150-170 feet but I put the reciever back in the garage with a 30 foot run or so and it is still doing the same thing. The motor sounded a little grindy then I remember it being. I have set the reciever back to factory mode clearing everything but that didn't help either. My motor is only a year and 2 months old. It seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. I did a a
qph-031 and I thought this might be adding to much weight on the motor or something and making it act wierd. But my dish is only 90cm and should be just fine. I am using usals and have my lat/long set correctly in the settings. Like I said it was all working fine for the first few months and now it doesn't want to work correctly. Even sometimes if I go to any satellite it will go to it and then bounce around go to it again for a few seconds and then move again.
Could I have something incorrect whith adding the qph-031? I originally had the
snh-031. I pick up circlular and linear just fine when it will stay on the satellite.
I hope I have described this in enough detail
. You guys have been such a great help to me with this hobby!.
