SG9120B OUT OF RANGE ERROR?

[MikeinBaja]

Our of range and out of ideas!

Hooked up the new micro this morning. Drove on over to 97, installed firmware - did factory reset after. Sweet! Entered long/lat under motor set-up (USALS).

Selected the sats I can see (72 - 125). Tried to go to SM5 (116.8, my true south) after adding it to the sat list to check the center of my arc - get out of range error. OK, went up to the roof - used the motor buttons to drive to "0", hit the motor reset button for @ 30 seconds - came back in & selected 116.8 - good signal. Tweaked a little then saved the sat position.

Now every sat I select I get an out of range error?

Have done factory reset - software download - factory reset - they enter motor settings (did a few times) - no change.

Any chue what to try next?

Did you enter your Longitude as East or West? Should be West.

Perform a Factory Reset after the firmware install?

My only idea is to make sure you have West longitude, as opposed to East longitude.

Turns out to be even MORE stupid than that - with all the factory resets wiping out the user data I fat fingered 111.7 rather than 117.0 for the long.

Well, there is 3 hours wasted!

Thanks for putting me down the right road.

As a self imposed penalty I'm shutting it off for the day and mixing an adult beverage.
