LX 200 alignment problems.
I think both of you for your replies. And Andrew, I agree, if everything is in order, it should just work. It doesn’t, and has never acknowledged I’m in the southern hemisphere. I usually cheat, and sync a couple of stars, and go from there for the night. However the other night when I hit the alignment, and pushed the go to button, it immediately slewed downward. I hit the keypad to stop it, and it immediately selected another star and began slewing before I could react. I hit the keypad to stop it. It again selected another star and took off. I had to turn off the power at the box to control it. I could not get it to acknowledge any alignment attempts.

You said there were some other tests Andrew. Please let me have them!
