LX200 Classic Configuration minor issues

My G11 Gemini 2 connects as a LX200 Classic in INDI and appears to work quite well.

In the site management panel, it loads the mount's selected site correctly. (I initially confused myself greatly when I forgot about kstars option to update the location on connection and it was overriding the value). It doesn't seem to get the elevation though and sets it to 0.

Also, it knows the mount has 4 preset site locations, but it doesn't load all the site names from the mount - weirdly it skips the 2 I've set on the mount, but handles the remaining 2 "default" location fine.

For example, site 1 for me is set to Brisbane. However on load it displays the name as (24). Site 3 is Berlin, which is a default location and it displays correctly when chosen.

You can enable debug (before CONNECT) and we can check how the communication with the mount and try to diagnose the issue.

I did this last night, but forgot to save the debug log file. So I'll repeat next time I'm out.

I can report however that the elevation reading is not an issue - it works fine.

I turned on debug logging for the mount and got this in the log:
Which was a bit underwhelming. :)

Kstars dumped this out on the screen at the same time:

On the main panel there's an option to "Use Pulse Cmd". The value does not seem to persist with the config.

Side note: Ensuring this was on greatly improved the guiding.
