Thanks for chimming in. I opened a new thread as I could not see my original post, trying to explain what I have been experiencing. Really it has been difficult to understand what it is going on, but it seems to me there is a mismatch with the time, complicated by the meridian flip options in the AP electronics. Please see my new thread with some further explanation.
Hopefully I can use it more extensively, I really see a lot of promise in Ekos,
