Pansat 2700, how to "nudge"?

[drhydro]

I set up my vbox yesterday to work with my Pansat 2700a. I have a small problem, i cant seem to get the pansat to "nudge" my BUD. In the antenna setup screen i select diseqc 1.2 and then program in a satellite. When i attempt to hit the east (or west) button to "nudge" the dish the dish keeps moving until i press the east button again. Sometimes it takes several counts before i can get the dish to stop. Am i doing something wrong or is this normal behaviour?

I have to go to another sat. in the menu (a sat. that I haven't assigned a motor position for), then tap either east or west.

i'll try that tonight, thanks

Sikma,
If you are in an unused sat postion, then how can you nudge for best reception then save the position? If i try that with mine, when i go back into the sat i am trying to "nudge", it will just change back to that sats defined position.

It seems i just cant get this darn thing to nudge, i tried everything i could think of last night and no-go. If i am real quick on the remote i can get it to move in approx 8 count increments, but that makes it kind of tricky to get the highest s.q. on some of the weaker TP's. For example using my Drake 1724 to move my dish i can get ~ 70 % s.q. on The Tube, but moving my dish with the pansat/vbox combo i can only get it close enough to get ~45% s.q. And its not the Vboxs fault, its because i cant get the pansat to tell the Vbox to stop moving the dish quick enough.

Iceberg, how does the 3500 do for "nudging"?
