I have an AP1100 on the way. Any moment now.
I plan to use it in my back yard mostly, where AC power is available, but occasionally take it to a dark site with batteries. I redid my batteries and

Re: USB 2 VS USB3 problems solved
Better than $1000! You have the USB2 version so you’ve probably already figured out the connection idiosyncrasies.

Marj,
I really should proof read what I type before I hit send. Atrocious.
This is likely just my misunderstanding of how the slew rates work. There is a Slew

1800 Slew Speed with Mach2GTO, CP5, V5 hand controller, APCC-PRO
At the risk of getting verbally abused here in case I missed it in the documentation... Why doesn't APCC-PRO or the V5 hand controller show a slew speed 1800 option when connected to a 24V source?

I think it may be a windows bug (but could also be related to my home WAN router.)
