Drive training is simple and is a skill to learn, as its a general maintenance type operation, like collimating etc.
It is easily done during daylight hours as all you need is a high powered eyepiece ( preferably with a crosshair ), or a webcam feed if you use my app to do it, and a stationary target a few miles away if possible. The further the better.
I actually set up inside my house at times and view out through an open window if the weather isnt to good.

That said, if BINTEL did it, i would expect it to be correct, but the numbers just seem extraordinarily low compared to what i have seen before ( esp the 10 ).
If you write down the current numbers, you can then try a few drive trains yourself, and see what sort of numbers you get back.
At the end, you can always use the Hbx to manually reset them if required.
