These issues were incredibly frustrating. I had a feeling it would be as simple as changing a setting, but which one? After what felt like hundreds of iterations of checking/unchecking things I got there.

One thing that may give the mount limit thing away is to watch the RA/DEC screen in EQMOD as the mount is tracking. Mine would flash a horizon message for a split second and then stop tracking. Also, PHD cannot calibrate once this occurs. It took a long time to see this happening, if you are not staring at it, you'll miss it. This sent me down the correct path of identifying a limit problem.
