[NSRCA-discussion] 14MZ copy functon

[Bill's Email]

  I use my left slider in the same way. I always have to reverse it in 
the hardware revese screen to get it to work right. But I have not done 
the copy thing as you did so I cannot say if mine does the same thing.

FWIW I forwarded this on to the Futaba service folks just to see if they 
have any insight. I'll pass along anything they share with me on it.
