As for the second point, I specifically asked Paul at RC customer service about the F3 recommendation and he said RC would never recommend that setting. I said I heard it was in writing and he said, not from RC - it may have come from a reseller, but not RC. Since I have never seen how this was written, I couldn't specifically speak to it. Do you have a copy of the recommendation? It would be interesting to send it to Paul for his opinion and get this cleared up.
I have posted a picture of the actual page on one of my previous posts. It is definitely from RC.
