Am not sure how it should feel but its not grindy. And thats also why I swapped the dec and RA motors to see if there was any different on the assumption it was hitting RA all night)
I do get occasional eqmod comms errors, but I always have ,which is why I had to disable the limits check, and how I had the 'accident' in the first place
Also when tracking there isnt actually any commands being sent the on board PCB handles tracking pulses eqmod just sends commands to start and stop tracking and any change of tracking rate.
