DG-280B with Mercury II
Ok, my DG-280B motor stopped working... I have tried all sorts of things to get it working. I finally took my receiver out to the dish with short wire and it still didn't move the motor.
I then set up my old DG2100 and the Mercury II didn't move that one either. Now I think the problem is with my Mercury II.
I have reset the factory settings in the Mercury II and it still doesn't want to move the dish. Both motors were receiving power because I could move the dish manually at the motor, but will not get signal from the Mercury II. What could cause this to be?

I would love any advice on this if anyone has any ideas. It might be time to get a new receiver.... any recommendations?

Thanks... Vit
