Sky Commander problem

Hey guys and gals,

For deepspace viewing I have a StarMaster ELT 11 f/5.44 Dob. Installed on it are Sky Commander encoders (USDIgital S2-1000-NT). I bought the computer to use with them but cannot get it to locate accurately; I do not know what the sensitivity of the encoders is, and the USDigital website says it can be from 64-2048 steps/revolution. The Default for the Sky Commander is 4000. Neither the previous owner nor the Sky Engineering Co have answered my emails. Does any one know the correct number?

Many thanks,

Robert Howe
