Hi Guys & Gals,
I couldn't decide whether this was an Installation or an Openbox question but here goes:
I have a motorised dish setup as a single sat at the moment on 28.2E.
All channels working fine.
I want to get the motor setup properly and I'm hitting big problems with the way the Openbox wants to set things up for me.
The normal way to set up multisat is to locate reference. Set long/lat for USALS then let the receiver do its thing.
When I follow this procedure the dish always rest too short off 28.2E (for example) ie it doesn't drive the dish far enough around the arc.
If I set it up manually from the motor itself everything is fine. I can get 28.2E, 26E etc etc with no problem.
As soon as I try to get the receiver to do the work in USALS it loses position and the channels/sats don't match up. Eg if I try to scan for channels from a known position instead of just scanning those channels, the Openbox tries to move the dish first cocking up all my best intentions.
I'm tempted to set it up as DISECQ 1.2 to at least get it working.
I'm doing something wrong, but what?
You guys have been great getting me this far, any ideas?
