have just successfully set up a motorised system,using tm5402 in conjunction with a tm2600 motor,using usals.this was achieved because of the wonderful help i received from this forums.at first glance,i thought i had enough movement to send dish as far as 30 degrees west of true south.but it seems i can only go 20 degrees .beyond this limit,dish would career into house.looking at the tm2600 manual,it talks about set east/west limits under motor control.i,m confused as to how the limits are applied.east limits are no problem for me.and i have no need for anything beyond 20w.what does worry me is the kids and grand kids coming round and selecting a sat like hispasat and perhaps knocking the house down lol.have hit right and left on set west limit.all i see are arrows.have pressed ok on this also.but have no option to set limit.bearing in mind i am a complete beginner,any assistance will be appreciated.

ah.not made clear in manual,even tho the options are there under usals system setup.i fear i may have to take dish down and adjust the sliding limiters on motor itself.thanks again echelon.

Don't store any satellites past 20.w, that way the kids won't be able to select 'em.
