Sadoun Motor Q's

[olliec420]

I bought this a long time ago and might be ready to give it a try here soon. Does anyone have this and if you do is it good or bad? Going to be using it with a microhd and pll lnb.

That motor has the built-in 2x1 DiSEqC switch. I recall that it had issues with reliable switching and frequent switch failure.

Many users ended up using a splitter at the dish instead of passing through the DiSEqC switch to the LNBF. One leg of the 2x1 All Port Power Passing splitter to power the motor and the other leg to the LNBF.

i will only be using 1 lnb so hopefully i wont have any problems there.

i know the microhd supports usals but does the motor have to as well to use it?

I vaguely recall that motor.
Was thinking it had some unique feature (not the switch).
Wide range? Low price? Just don't recall.
