EQ8 - turning encoders on and off

[pmrid (Peter)]

Those who are in the EQ8 Yahoo group will have seen recent posts praising a small tool (EQ8Tool) released by SW to allow you to turn the encoders on and off. There's a question in that thread asking "Why" and it hasn't been answered. I'm curious and wonder if anyone in IIS has figured it out.

That, Peter - is a very good question! Am looking forward to the answer...

Why?
Because..

It will be easier to park the mount in any position you want, when the encoders are off.
