using a motor

[TuxCoder]

Some "theory of operation" questions...

The USALS feature must know at least my longitute, right? Or, alternatively, doesn't the receiver need to know which satellite is my true south satellite? I'm using the Pansat 2500A and have looked all over for any setting similar to those but haven't found any.

To just use standard DiSEqC 1.2, I would need to somehow store the satellite locations (motor angles), right? I haven't yet seen how to do that either on the 2500A.

USALS you have to put in your latitude & longitude so it knows where to go. Try to get it as close as you can. As an example, I'm at 93.77 longitude, and I put 93.0 so the farther away I got from my true south, the worse off it was. I was able to tweak it. In the setup, you can tell it this is my true south. In the install menu, go to motor options, and select USALS and hit "ok" and it will kick you into another screen. That's where you put your l & l in and your true south

In addition to -Berg's answer, You can use 1.2.

On the 1.2 screen, You will see NULL at the top. Go to the next one down and bump your sat position E or W until you get the highest quaility.

When you get the satellite position you want dialed in, cursor up to null and you can store the position in location #27 to #49

It is so much easier to use USALS. Once you get Tru-S set up, just select USALS when you add a new satellite, boom it finds it. Tweak it a little by adjusting the sat location .1 E/W for best quality and enjoy.

I'm spoiled now.

both USALS and 1.2 are much easier than what I use to do

hand move it...so ghetto
