There is a known problem within the L305 Module wrt SYNC_DETECT (19.2 
timing not available).   This has the net effect of generating bogus 
alerts.   For now, I have disable alert detection for SYNC_DETECT on 
both L305's until a HW solution is implemented.
I believe the problem with the SYNC_DETECT alert and ACU pointing is 
unrelated, unless some consequential action is being generated at a 
higher level in the system.
