    did you set the dish up correctly and have the motor all set up right beforehand?
    There is a good guide which i used here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ed-dish-42881/

    just have a quick read and see if you missed anything.
    If it isn't broke, don't try fixin it..!!!

      Yes I did set the dish up correctly, I had it working before but I started experimenting with go to x function and I messed it up and I cannot get the USALS function to work. I replaced the motor several times but it is not the motor. I did a factory reset, reloaded previous Dump versions and still the same.

        Are your coordinates (longitude/latitute) inserted correctly? Usually the motor has that behaviour when the coordinates are inserted incorrectly.

          Yes The coordinate are correct I had everything working before but after I played wit the Go to X function and did recalculate, I could no longer make the USALS function to work correctly.

              I have tried several new motors the result is the same. I think the openbox must have a constant. when I go to limit setup and specify go to to refernce it goes to zero on the motor but when I specify in the satellite table say 5 west it goes to 30 east on the motor instead of 5 west.
