EQMOD Guide Settings (Atlas/NEQ6)

Hello,
Atlas/NEQ6 mount users who also use EQMOD, what guide settings in EQMOD seem to work best for you? Been having issues with RA, and I have ruled out cable drag/balance as causes. Only other thing I can think to check is the guide rates in EQMOD. Oh, I am using PHD2.9.
Any help appreciated.
Mike

The general recommendation is 0.5x to 0.9x. I don't think there is a magic number more precise than that
Make sure you don't have the default 0.1x - the cause of many issues experienced by first time users

Thank you both for your responses. Seems like making sure RA & Dec were set at 0.5X did help. Any insight on minimum pulse width, or should the default setting suffice? Thanks again.
