Paramount MX questions

Been reading MX manual in anticipation for my MX arrival next week and have a few questions I hope those with MX's and ME's can answer.

1. Manual often references objects on east and west of meridian. Is this for same in southern hemisphere? Ie we don't have to reverse this?

2. With PEC do you use the bisque tcs PEC routines with ccdsoft or have you seen better results from pempro and then upload pempro curve ? Can you use pempro to upload curve to mx or do you have to use bisque tcs?

3. When you loosen clutches on mx does it lose position ? Ie you need to realign afterwards. Eg if you loosen clutch to rebalance the scope mid session do you need to return to home and then resync?

4. Are the slew limits set to right side of mount. Ie east or west when you set mount to southern hemisphere or do you have to manually update this?

Also anyone know if relays are functional? Seen a few posts now on st4 port not working as expected. Direct guide is suggested but this means ccdsoft and ascom drivers for starshoot and I rather like phd for guiding.
