    Problems USALS at 15W

    I have a Fortec Star Dynamic receiver, Sadoun SG-280 motor, Fortec 90cm dish all hooked up to receive several satellites. The system works very well except when I try to USALS to point the dish to Telestar at 15W. Even though the screen says "Moving to Satellite Position", the motor does not move. I have had this problem with another exact same system. Has anyone had similar problems, and have you figured out a solution?

    One thing I have tried is to switch to DiSeQC and use the buttons on the motor to turn the dish until I find a Telestar signal (it is around #65 on the motor protractor scale) and then save that position. Then, using the remote I move the dish in small increments via the receiver until the signal peaks. However, if I move it too many times using this method the motor then moves to the extreme East position!

    Thanks for your input.

    I have had the same issue... except for motor moving to far east... I don't know what that is...

    I can get Sat 30, but when I try to go further it just scans for the same channels that are on Sat 30 Hispasat. I figure the motor has moved to its limit... I think they can only move about 60 to 65 degrees east or west... I am at 77, so I should be able to get 15.... but to no avail. Sorry I don't have a solution..

    Reason why it scans the same channels as 30W is because the dish did not move, but the receiver thinks it moved.

    Yes, I also have had problems with the motor moving to the extreme East. Man I was close to adjusting it with a small sledge hammer. Read my other posts today for more info.

    I had a similar problem where the receiver thought the motor was moving when I moved to a different satellite. I noticed that the DG-240 motor was not getting power to it so it could be moved. I used an observer to check the dish to see if it moved when I changed satellites and it did not. After some movement of the cables outside I found that power was getting to the motor and everything worked fine. There was no damage to the cable, but probably had a factory defect with one of them. I have two cables connected running to the motor.
