John......

Your Analyzer chart looks similar to mine.....and I've got my "M" set at 9-13 cm. I "ramp" up from 7 in about 15 minutes.

Remember....you've only got a couple of nights worth of data. What you're working on is a process that will take a few weeks before you've tweaked it to the max.

Have patience....

However, it is not high enough to prevent them before they start, only to stop them once they already have begun. (i.e. Once johntee's airway starts to close, 7cm will open it back up, but it will not keep the airway from closing.)
That makes a lot more sense than claiming that 7cm "eliminates" them when they're obviously not eliminated. Thank you.

And Snoredog I'll never understand why you have such a hard time just answering a question.
