Kal - To use the G11 DD with PHD, make sure you are set to PHD defaults and the mount is set to "2x" guide rate while calibration is being done. Once PHD has stopped the calibration cycle and is actually guiding, switch the mount to ".3x". I set my aggressiveness to about 75%. This is straight from Losmandy and works for me.
