Thanks guys for the hand.

I pulled cover off motor & removed motor of actuator & then it seemed to free up after a few tries....weird.

Thats all going well now.

I am just having trouble getting anymore sats than C1 D1 & D2.

I will have to tackle install again when weather permits.

1 more thing, is true north to my east from magnetic north?

Cheers

G'Day adman;

The agonic line runs through Western Australia. Therefore true north will be west of magnetic north for you. I think you're about 10 degrees offset from true north.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
