Did you wire your cimcoders to the srx? If you did, did you solder in the pull up resistors? If not that is probably the issue with missing counts. We ran them on Minicims for our shooter wheels, to srx running speed control loop on the srx, and worked beautifully.
From Omar, at CTR when I asked question about cimcoder and pullups.

Hey Scott,
Pullups
The CimCoder will require external pullups. The 10KΩ that's recommended in the CIMCoder spec is probably best. I think we had another customer who confirmed that without resistors the results are not reliable.
Breakout
Also since it's a 5V sensor, be sure to use a blue-encoder-breakout so that you don't violate the 5V errata on Talons with revisions < 1.7.
