AMIKO Trouble finding Satellites

[Captain Midnight]

Ok, I've moved from 113 to 125w so far, so good. Coordinates were still accurate. I'm not sure why, but the gremlin in the machine seems to have left. I'll report back on the rest of the arc.

Last time I had a motor take on a life of its own with a properly-configured receiver, it turned out that the relays in the motor were sticking. Hopefully that's not the case and it was just a receiver glitch.

I made it down the rest of the arc ok, but I am going to watch it. It's tougher to keep an eye on with it on the roof.

FYI - an OCTAGON SF8008 can blind scan and lock those CHINA RADIO signals at 900 SR @45w. might be worth a look in. i know, its been driving me nuts for weeks...3 receivers later , and i can get it - both a blind scan and a manual tune gets it.
