I would go with a 24" at least for a 10 ft dish.it should work just fine.Originally Posted by Ski5010

I agree re 24", but I'm curious... what part of country are you located, and what sats are you trying to reach, and how far did it get?
Some actuators have adjustable limits that are set very conservatively, and can be extended. Also, to get the maximum range, you have to fully retract it when aiming to the limit just beyond the sat nearest your horizon, adjusting via where it attaches on tube.
I once had an actuator go bad, and while repairing it, I bought a replacement, which was smaller, and the thing wouldn't cover my whole arc. I took it back and got the same size I used to have. I later found out that I could have covered quite a bit more of the arc than I thought, but I was happy in the end that I got the bigger actuator.

Still trying to learn.Ok i Can get from AMC9 85.OW to G10R 123.OW Hope that will help out.
Is this what you were asking for anybody?
you should be able to get farther than that with a 18" Actuator you may need to check and change your limits in the receiver or adjust the limit switch in the actuator.
