Jeff:

Hard to tell what caused the problem. Sometimes noise on the wires going to the rotator can cause this kind of hiccup. I think you are OK as long as you program the display reading to match the actual position of the rotator (Mode 1). I have had similar problems and I will rotate the antennas to true north and then program the diplay reading to 0DEG and all is fine from then on. There are mechanical limit switches to prevent any over-rotation so you don't have to worry about that.
