The steering value could be
changed at the slave. But as
soon the master steering
value is changed, this will set
the slave steering value with
the master setting.

The Tracker mode is enabled
from the Master. The master
will control the Slave settings
except the power and gain;
these are controlled by the
slave. It is however not
possible to enable the tracker
conditions as power and gain
from the slave. This is done
by the master.
