Hi Natan,
I have a new M2 OR2800PX. It works great!!
I have only calibrated it once and it is always right on!!
I am turning a 2 element 40 and a 4 element 20 on
the same 20 foot mast.
I always use mode 1 so that you get the ramp down
when the rotor comes to the heading you want..
Give M2 a call. They are very helpful and I am sure
they will fix your problem. There is a mod available
for next to last generation of rotors(which you may have).
It involves the ramp up and down speed setting.
If your unit is getting pulse errors when you start to rotate
this mod may fix you up. You can do a temporary fix by
changing P5 in the program to 3 or 4 instead of 1.
Good Luck. 73, Ted K2QMF
