The reads were the same size as the TA went up and down, BARRING the introduction of false TA. Flag pcs are seen at the HGCs constantly powdering their hands in the bathroom and all the other remedies mentioned in my previous post.
I know I am harping on about this, but I am trying to show that the variable sensitivity was a disaster when it came to false TA. When a pcs hands would sweat the TA would falsely come down, sometimes more than a division, this would cause the meter to erroneously lower its variable sensitivity and a dial wide FN would be one inch (due to the falsely low TA pos.). Thus O/Ring the session. This is exactly the problem the invention of the quantum was supposed to fix, but in reverse. IMO you see more low false TA due to hand sweat, especially in steamy Florida, than you see actual HI TA cases. So the problem that the variable sensitivity handled was smaller than the problem it created.
