PHD or EQmod not sending dec guid commands

Hi Guys.

I had a probelm last night that I couldnt resolve on my own, and as this is the first decent weather when it hasnt been a full moon I'd like to get some imaging done.

I'll post a screen dump tonight but just in case anyone has an idea (I know it's very broad) what could cause dec comands not to be sent I'd appreciat the speculation. I seem to have all the right box's ticked and guide pulses are the length I normally have them. I have a lot of dec backlash but I've always had it and it's never been an issue.

PHD will callibrate fine so it will send commands in dec when calibrating so I know it's not hardware or a cable issue, and I can slew around the sky just fine from Starry night 6, it just wont guide in Dec. Balance is fine as well.

Polar alignment is really good in both directions and I'm using the newest versions of PHD and EQmod.

There must be something I'm missing.

Any ideas no matter how obviouse they may seem would be welcome

Thanks
