I'd have to read the manual there if that is true it only works on gotos.
My PME rountinely stops at the meridian and turns tracking off. I am pretty sure it also stops at the west as well. I'll check my settings.

Did you read the manual on this point as I recall its well covered? Perhaps that was only slew limits.

I checked this initialization process but perhaps it only works when the mount is connected. The value was set to a question mark and I could not get into it to change it on my copy of Sky X.
