HH90 Reliability Poll

[mabulok]

Interested in knowing how many have had quality problems with their HH90?

[mabulok]

I have to commend Sadoun on sending me a working replacement unit, and in lightening fast response. Thank you very much!

I have had a HH90 for almost a year, and it has worked well for about three days out of this period. There are non stop problems with this motor, the biggest waste of money I have spent in a long while.

Do you have any switches located between the receiver and the motor? If so see what happens when the switch is eliminated. Or replacement of cable. Distance from receiver to motor (cable length)? Are you running factory software in the receiver? Have you tried a totally different brand of receiver?

No switches, cable run about 60 feet, good connectors with weather shields, factory software on Fortec Ultra Lifetime, don't have the money to buy a new receiver, or at least justifiy it to my wife, especially after buying the motor. Called Stabb about my problems (will move to sat and then back to reference position, then back to sat etc. etc. etc., or sometimes will move to sat and all is ok, then, at no set time limit, begin the back and forth routine) they forwarded me to Fortec. There was never an offer to look at it or replace it, but they did send a repalcement board for the motor, which I installed myself. It is still acting wierd... I'm ready to take it down and take a sledge hammer to it, wont fix the motor but I'll feel better.

Do you think I would have better luck with a different receiver? What would you recommend?
