I am not sure what type of sensor the Alpa Spid uses. I recently had a
potentiometer in a TIC ring get very tight and all of a sudden that
antenna was not pointing where the controller said it was. If the Alpa
Spid uses a pot, do you have another controller that you can try? With the
Green Heron controller, it is possible to accidentally change the offset
or direction reading (if using a reed switch). If this is a common problem
for you, I believe that you can lock the menu.

Subject:[TowerTalk] Green Heron + Alpa Spid, suddenly 30 degrees off

Hi,
I noticed that my beam heading is off about 30 degrees suddenly. It does not
appear that the mast has come loose. I am guessing the offset setting just
somehow got lost. Before I go in the settings and fix the value, I wanted to
ask here.
Does anyone had this happen to them and/or does anyone have an idea what
could
be wrong? Could a power outage cause this?
Thanks
Andy,
