Is anyone else having problems with the Alt portion jumping while tracking? This is about every 45-60 seconds with my scope. Backlash adjustment does not seem to help.

Have you updated the firmware on your GPS? Jumping like that was a problem with older versions of the firmware. I forget what the latest is, I think it is 4.05 or something like that. My C8 did the same thing and after I updated it all but went away.
