This may be far fetched, but does anyone have an owners manual for this old stand alone positioner? Or can anyone suggest where to find one? I tried Google with no luck. I need to reset the box and know it's some combination of holding the buttons in, and so on, but have had no luck in doing so....Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks! Mike

Is there a hole in the back big enough for a match stick or toothpick to go in? I had a Tracker II, I think that reset that way...
Gee....thanks for the quick response guys! There is no hole in the back of the box for reset, however there is a red reset button on the back but it is only if the unit kicks out from overload (thermal protection).There is a hole for "store" on the front. I once reset this unit a long time ago but forgotten how. It has something to do with the store button. I've tried countless combinations of button holds while hitting the store button in the hole but to no avail. See picture. Anyway, thanks again for the quick response and as always, any help would be appreciated! Mike

................for future reference, could detail the steps you took to reset the unit?
Hi Babadem,
I just read your post from several months ago. I have several Tracker III boxes. The way to restore the box is to simultaneously hold the Satellite "LETTER" and "NUMBER" buttons. While holding the buttons insert a small wire or toothpick into the "STORE" hole in the front of the box. The display will begin counting down 10,9,8 etc. to 0 and will then prompt you to set the East and West limits.

Any chance you could send me a scan of your Houston Tracker II satellite Locator manualYeah I found my Tracker II Manual, sorry no help from me.
Thanks Terry
Stuff happens, nobody was hurt (I did get a few blisters)... It was just possesions that can be replaced, plus I found a lot of things that survived like family photos & guns.
One casualty though was my original C-Band pole, trying to take the mount off It broke off even with ground.... been there since early 80's and rusted out.
