Well.. if 1.2 works, USALS should be good. As I understand it (and I could be wrong), USALS happens on the reciever end.
Did you set your 'antenna position' or 'reference'? I know if the sat I'm trying to hit is outside the range it thinks I can hit it doesn't do a thing via USALS. It is probably something silly like that holding up USALS.

Make sure your receiver has the lat/lon correct, ie: You're using (yourlat)North and (yourlon)West depending on where you are in the world.

Any order... but you may want to write down somewhere what number you assigned to each one on the positioning screen, so you don't reuse the number on another satellite and lose the original's position.
Personally, I like 1.2 better than USALS due to the nudge east/west feature that I can use to tweak individual TPs when necessary... but that's just me. I use USALS to find the bird, then switch over to 1.2 for really fine tuning.

Too bad my true south is a DirectTV satellite...
Unless there is a constant transponder on AMC6?
I am at 72.1 degrees west, so its either AMC6 at 72, or DTV5 at 72.5
Can someone do scan of AMC6? Id like to know of a transponder to use when I reset my motor..
one of the feeds is 12189 H 6510
There are 2 that peg the meter but have nothing on it
I know the sr is 13.021 on one (H) and 25.319 on the other (v) but dont have the frequency handy

11.839 V, 25.319 I see 69%
These numbers are from the CoolSat so they are probably the stong ones you speak of
.
if the motor's moving with diseqc it should work with usals, it's the receivers responsibility to send the sig to the dish which is basically saying to the motor, "hey buddy, where you at? I want you to move xxclicks this way."
does your positioner have any lights on the bottom of it?

yep..those are the two
the 12060 H 13021 pegs the meter on the Pansat
ultatryon, try this:
Go to a place on the arc where you know you don't have any signal/quality whatsoever.
In USALS try to swing the dish to the far east/west and check if it's moving.

Cool! Here's hoping for USALS functionality!
I was reading the other thread about the motor only moving one way and I was thinking 'man - this guy has all the luck with motors'.

Its a veritable cornucopia of problems with this motor.. no USALS, flakey 1.2 "favorites" storing, the occasional uni-directional movement (or none whatsoever, even by the button on the motor), or the always fun "lets move 5 degrees, then stall" routine.
I think I may have to install a camera up there, so I can watch to make sure my dish is actually moving....
