Just calibrated an 888 driving a 500 ohm resistive load. Calibrated to 2.000 ms max, 1.000 ms min, and 1.500 ms neutral. Then measured, and got 1.990 ms max, 1.021 ms min, and deadband from 1.482 ms to 1.523 ms

The problem that the comment that Tom is referring to was finding what values work best with factory default calibration, and with the Victor 884, it varied unit to unit.
