Default Do LTFT's varry day to day

Just wondering. Driving home from work last night it averaged 6.61, this morning on the way in to work it was at 6.00.. Not a huge difference but just wondering. By the way that is a 1 hour drive each way with traffic in spots.. (5900 lines of data in excel)..

Will this change with my MAFT?

It's perfectly normal for them to vary even more than that. It's just adjusting for different conditions.

If they vary so much, how do you get them dialed in to 0 and keep them there?

You can't dial them in to 0 and then keep them there. You try to get them as close to 0 as possible. Most folks shoot to get them between + or - %5. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

I like mine on the positive side. I believe it to give just a little bit more timing advance. Really, it matters little.
