Hi guys,
does anyone know or has anyone ahjusted the gears on 8se to eliminate backlash in the altitude gears. My Azimuth is no problem as it has a instant response from the directional pad. I know there is software settings but looking for physical adjustments.

Regards

Not that I'm aware of... I did experiment with the backlash settings a while back but after a while I just reset them as I didn't like its behaviour. The alt drive is pretty straightforward but I think it just doesn't have enough teeth on the gear.
