Another way is to get an inexpensive GPS unit, one for camping/hunting is
sufficient. It will give you very accurate speed measurements (in a straight
line, they get thrown off when you go around a corner). Then you could do
your own testing. Pick an indicated speed and see what it actually is. Go
through the range and track the actual versus indicated. Works for me, and
then
you can give Mo Ma good data. Of course, if they can only do it by cable
revs, that could be a problem. Is it possible you missed two or three in
your
measurements?
