Pre-purchase advice needed

[Rufus_74]

I'm getting ready to get a motor for my fta dish, probably from PSB, and i need to have a few questions answered. First, is my true south 121W, for my zip code 93445 and coordinates 35N 121W. Also, how well does the Kusat 2600 get along with the SG2100. What must I do to ensure that the installation goes as smoothly as possible. Thanks in advance for all your help and patience?

regards
Rufus

. Also, how well does the Kusat 2600 get along with the SG2100.

rufus
check the review of the KUSat that I did. I am running the KUSat and a SG2100. It works, but sometimes its stingy to move.

One word of warning...if you "nudge it", press the arrow button once, then WAIT AT LEAST 2 SECONDS before doing it again. If you do it too quickly, the motor keeps moving until you press the opposite direction

Once you get setup and aimed at True South, when you go to store a new satellite, if there is a real strong transponder, you can hold the move button down and the bar will turn yellow. Just hit the other direction and fine tune
