Thanks for all the help. I'm using USALS right now but I'll try driving it in Diseqc 1.2 mode and see if that helps. I do have a very close awning on my deck that it may be getting very close to when it travels that far. I'll have to get my wife to help me. She can drive the motor while I'm...

I have a Traxis 3500 with a Fortec 1.2 Dish and a Stabb HH-120 motor. I've had this setup now for several weeks with no problem. Right now I have just about every bird from 72 - 105 programmed in. My true South bird is 87W. When I try to get over to 123 my motor won't travel that far. Actually...

That did it! I finally upgraded to the latest firmware and it fixed several problems! Now when I hit the LIST button I get a full list of satellites available that I can scroll through and select! Before the LIST button pretty much gave me the same as a channel list and I had to scroll sideways...

Here's exactly what the Traxis 3500 manual says: "In full screen, pressing key [TV/SAT] can open satellite list and switch satellites". This sounds exactly like what I'm wanting .. unfortunately it doesn't work.

Thanks, I've tried the LIST function but again it's a sequential list and even when you use P+ and P- it's sequential. I have about 6 sat's setup with channels. My Coolsat had a SAT button that would bring up a list of sat's and you could just scroll through to the one you want, press select...

Thanks .. that works great for a sequential list of sat's but as soon as I start scrolling through the list my motor starts jumping to the next sat. I sure wish there were a list that would popup and that I could then scroll through without my motoring responding until I select the satellite I want.

My Coolsat 5000 had a sat button too, but according to the manual you have to hit the TV/SAT button to bring up a list of sat's but it doesn't do it. There is no SAT button on the remote .. I sure wish there were!

I have my new Traxis 3500 setup and it's working great with my motorized dish. The problem is that I can't find an easy way to switch to different sat's? According to the manual, I'm supposed to be able to hit the TV/SAT button in full screen mode and it's supposed to bring up a list of my...

That's what was confusing me. I know my Coolsat 5000 had an Auto Scan AND a Blind Scan.

Thanks! I'll scan 97 and see what I get.

I've been away from FTA for awhile and I setup my new Traxis DBS-3500 today. I mainly wanted it for feeds but I used to get a kick out of watching Dr. Gene Scott. I know he's passed away but the University Network was carrying him and his wife 24/7 when I was on about a year ago. I just "blind...

Thanks! I was hoping that was it.

I just purchased and setup a Traxis DBS-3500 receiver. I already had my dish and motor setup before with a Coolsat 5000, so it was a piece of cake. The only thing I can't figure on the Traxis is where the "blind"scan function is? There is listed a "Auto Scan", a "TP Scan" and a "Preset Scan"...

Thanks for all the help! Yep, I was just too anxious to get up and running again .. because a little fine tuning finally did the trick.

Here is my setup: Coolsat 5000 with a Stabb HH-120 motor and a Fortec 100cm dish with an Invacom QPH-031 LNB. I've had this setup working flawlessly for about 9 months now but suddenly, about a month ago, my motor stop working. I just replaced it, this morning, with a new HH-120 and since I...
