Try calling the manufacturer, King Controls in Bloomington, MN. I had a problem with mine and they determined one of the motors inside was bad. GREAT service and they were easy to work with. They sold me the part and told me how to install it myself. It should work much better than it does.

Soooooo.....Why didn't you return it, or send it in for repair?..:R

If your car/truck/MH gave you that kind of service would you drive it in the lake also?..:S

Lots of happy TG users.
Some just a tad smarter than others...:W

Oh you're a real comedian ol Bombero! The last time I used it I had a completely clear shot of the sats. Most other times I figured it was a placement issue.

That bloody white ball stands out like a sore thumb! If one roughed it up abit and sprayed camo, would it effect reception?
Shep

Does the above mean you're claiming operator error?

or
