1.-When you just press quickly the #9 button (RECALIBRATE), the object starts moving slowly out of the field, it does not matter if you press it just once quickly or keep it pressed, the object keeps moving out of the field.
I have asked Marj to send you a new chip to be installed in your servo box. It sounds like there is a software problem in your chip.
2.-The PEC does not correct the periodic error, I trained it several times (Trained and checked, then train again and rechecked), it has less periodic error with the PEC OFF than with the PEC-PLAY. I also rebalanced the OTA, it was ok, so that was not the problem either, the GoTo function worked well, Venus was on the finder almost at the center but not in the field of a 26mm Plossl that gives 192X with the 5 meter 10" Maksutov, probably the "recalibrate key" moved the last object I viewed before parking the mount.I found Venus at around 12 O´Clock saturday and sunday too. My handpad shows "VERSION-2.4", I do not know if I need some upgrades or the new chip. I would like your comments concerning issues #1 and #2.
Your keypad version is not at fault. Soon you will be able to upload version 3 with some advanced features.
