The latest beta D3 Firmware from Motosat changed the way the satellite is reported, breaking my modem configuration checker. I've made changes to D3Admin that properly compare satellite settings regardless of whether it is the old or new firmware in the controller.

Don, D2/D3Admin 1.1.42 works for me, except the stow light doesn't appear to be getting a signal when the dish gets stowed. I'm using the D2 controller. When I use the Motosat Datastorm V3.7.6, the stow light works appropriately. Any chance your latest fix messed up the stow light feature? Gary

I have just downloaded 1.1.42 so I will let you know shortly if the stow light works for me with my D2.

Michael, Your signature doesn't reflect the latest version of firmware on your 7000. That won't have any bearing on the D2 and stow light, but be interesting to see if you get the same "no light" results as I did. Gary

You are correct. I do not get the STOW light on 1.1.42 either but to be honest, I don't know that I noticed on 1.1.41. I frequently stow from the button on the D2 after my computer is shut down.
The STOW light is displayed on the D2 itself.
I just updated my signature line. Thanks.

I got the light with the earlier version. Routinely use this program to control the dish, as it gives me my rate codes and a direct button to map submit. Today was my first time to stow the dish since Don posted the updated program, so my first chance to notice it.
Thanks for the confirmation, Michael. Gary

I cannot find any problem with the stow light, and when I called Michael to see what code it was returning he stowed his dish and the light came on in D2Admin, so go figure.
I did find an unrelated, D3-only bug that was causing it to say the Lat/Long didn't match in generic/Hughes mode, and that is now fixed in a version just posted 1.1.43. No other changes.

Strange that it only happened the first time. I will continue to check it the next several times I stow the dish.
Gary, you might try another stow and see if a few seconds after it stows the light comes on. Not sure what happened but I saw the same thing you did on my first stow but it does seem to be working now.

Thanks, Don. I downloaded 1.1.43 and then stowed my F1. Took a noticable amount of time (10-15 seconds?) for the stow light to light, but it finally did. Then using 1.1.43's Search button, I raised the dish. Stow light remained on until dish was up to about 30 degrees elevation. Never noticed that before. I was not in a position to view my D2 panel to see when the stow light on it went on or off. Will try to remember to check it next time (next year).
Thank you for the help, Michael. Thank you for the program, Don. Gary
