I just came across this thread while searching the site. My satellite installation has started exhibiting this very same behaviour. Anyone have any ideas?
I have C-band motorised dish currently setup and it is able to tune to the satellites ok. Just recently it appears to lose it correct tune position after I move to a different satellite and come back it it. Just about all the sats lose tuning.
I have read the positioner manual and it suggests a Re-sync operation. I have tried that, does not seem to correct the proplem. The other suggestion is also the Reed sensor may be unstable. That would suggest that the actuator is faulty.
What I can gather is as follows:
1. Receiver picks the correct memory location on the position
2. the position moves to the correct numerical value ( I wrote down all its postions to check)
3. the Channel is not correctly tune at the same numeric position for the satellite each time I move away and back again. When I come back to it, I have to move 10 to 20 units in either direction to find the transponders again.
4. I can go through and tune all the sats, when I am done, none of it will be correct.
Can someone identify for me more accurately which is the faulty component here (Receiver, Position or Actuator)
Is there a simple fix for this problem or do I need to return the faulty device (most likely positioner or Actuator, as the receiver seems to operate fine)
This problem is driving me nuts. It is bit like chasing a moving satellite (We all know that these sats are geostationary)
