Ok I think I'm getting it now--let me make sure: The bug in the PK only affects the readout of the relative bearing of the target. But, is that to say that the PK knows the "correct" bearing internally though it does not display it? It seems that if the bearing is displayed wrong on the dial then the torp will go to that incorrectly displayed bearing--but you seem to be saying not to worry about it--am I close?
So I input the data into the PK and let it do it's thing--the bug comes into play when I want to validate my solution by checking the bearing on the indicator--but as long as I enter what I think are the correct values of spd rnge and aob the torp will steer true and hit the target--right?

Yes, all correct. Even though bearing to target may not display correctly, the PK uses the correct value internally. It's purely a display issue.

One last question which may eliminate some remaining confusion--when do you turn on and/or off the PK? Right after you input the data from your first observation? Would you ever want to turn it off after your initial plot or just leave it on and update with more plot data as you go?

I usually turn it on before the first observation and leave it on. I don't know of any reason not to do that. It will update its data with new observations whenever you take them.
