Lowered my range to 9.4-12 with an EPR of 1 last night. Best night so far in terms of events! Even the user defined (20% and 50% reductions for 8 sec) flags significantly improved. Will give the cervical collar a shot later this week when it gets here to see  if that helps the flow limitations. Originally I was going higher in pressure thinking it'd take care of the flow limitations, which was the wrong way to go and probably was causing the other issues? 

Should I lower the lower end until I start seeing OA's or just leave it where it's at since it's working?

Thanks for the help guys.

I think continuing to lower pressure is a good idea. There are no events that require the pressure, and I suspect the Autoset is responding to some flow limits. Right now, your best results appear to be at or near your minimum pressure. I would not hesitate to try 8 to 10 pressure.

  and you are correct, the machine was responding to flow limitations. I figure I'll start replacing the leak graph with the flow limitation since I'm not having leak issues and it seems more relevant.
