How to update USALS on new receiver

[Joe_90]

I have a Stab Rotor Control unit that sits between the Sat receiver and the Rotor. There are three buttons. You can drive East or West or choose Zero which drives the dish to the theoretical due South. I set the dish to Zero hoping the receivber would have a known starting point.

This unit seems to be quite superfluous when used with a USALS motor and a modern receiver. The receiver can generate move East and West and GoTo zero commands and will also calculate the GoTo X commands which will point the rotor to the correct azimuth angle to receive a particular satellite (assuming the the rotor and dish are aligned properly to begin with). Have you input your location correctly into the motor/rotor settings in the VU receiver menu? With the correct location in the receiver, the receiver just sends a Disecq GOTO X command to the HH120 motor and it should turn east or west to point at the correct satellite. The receiver does not know where the motor is pointing to currently - it just tells the motor to turn to absolute angle X either east or west, depending on the satellite you've selected to tune.
