obviously it depends on the dish motor and other variables, but how long does it take for a motorized setup to travel say 10 degrees
look at the motor specs before you buy, they tell you the rotation speed....the sg2100 is the fastest motor i have used, i believe the specs are 1.8-2.5 degrees per second.....

the STAB motors are the slowest i have tried.....

the speed also depends on if your tuned into a vertical or horizontal TP while switching sats.....the horizontal TPs move the dish faster because they are 18V.....vertical TPs are only 13V so the dish will move slower.....

moving from 110-119 for example is normally very quick, and sometimes barely even noticeable, i would say 2-3 seconds.....

however if you are going from say 61.5 to 129 then that can be a bit of a wait.....but it is worth it.....its nice and clean looking to get everything on one dish.....once you go motorized you will never go back.....you will love it.....

just follow this guide step by step and let us know if you have trouble.....
