From Peter Grenader:

Regardig your comment below.  THis is a new one on me.  I have questions, then I can answer yours:

1) When you are calbrating, are you doing so with the same power supply it's powered with when it's in the rack?

2) Who's rack are you using?  

Is it home built?  

If so....does it have metal rails in which to mount the modules?  

If not, have you provided a means to GROUND the faceplates when they are mounted in the system?

Please let me know. WIth over 300 shipped, I've never heard of this problem.  Can anyone else lend any similar experiences?  NOw's a real good time to take care of problems - more infor on this in the next couple of weeks.

Original message form Bryan Cornell:


I'm having a devil of a time getting the tracking set on my Model 15.  I've followed the directions from the Plan B yahoo groups and it works.... at least at first.  I get the scaling perfect, but then when I mount it back in the cabinet, the scaling is screwed up again.  How can this be?

I have a Doepfer rack and everything seems to work fine, except the module for some reason are a really tight fit in the cabinet.  I'm not sure if this is because the rails are really tight or because some of the modules are not the exactly the right size.

Any clues on this would be much appreciated. Could something be touching the Model 15 circuit board and causing this?
