    Yup!
    Just changed to 14.63 in B3601. Went back and changed to 14.7 in B3647 and then converted to EQ...came out as 0.9951.
    Changed back to AFR and it came up as 14.7004

    Here's the tune I'll load before heading home from work.
    Does this B3647 look appropriate to you?

    Thanks Joe...yeah, I went the wrong way before and leaned it out.
    I'll edit my uploaded tune with that corner richened a bit.

    I just changed the above attached tune with the B3647 table richened up in the area you suggested.
    It looks unusual...is that normal?

    How many of the decimal places (precision values) does the PCM use ?
    I mean if you set the values to 6 places will the PCM use those or does it ignore some ?

    The PCM stores values in some "fixed point" format.

    For example, say a particular parameter is stored as a byte;
    a byte can hold 256 discrete values (0-255);
    say the range of this parameter is 0.000 to 9.999;
    then the step between each discrete value is (9.999-0.000)/(255-0) = 0.039211764705882352941176470588235294...
    and after rounding for display this looks like 0.03921;
    but note that 0.03921*255 = 9.99855 which is not 9.999.

    So it's not a matter of how many decimal places does the PCM use, but it's a matter of how many decimal places are used to display a real number which has discrete values, which causes the number to be displayed imprecisely.
