    I think my Powermax VBox Died!!!

    Thanks KE!! I think i can eliminate the actuator! I have a new bottom half of the actuator that i swaped out and still the ER2! so its either the wireing or the vbox.I do have another vbox to try! Working kinda funny at times but worked enough to see if its the box or wireing.

    We love to feed the animals! Once at early night when working on the dish I turned around and saw a deer nearby waiting for me to leave so he could get something to eat. A good thing about working on the dish under darkness in the summer is its cool! but a bad thing is that the blood suckers...

I did put my dish and motor higher on the pole to solve that problem.The j pole may still be ok with your set up...
