    The same problems occur with Microtek X6 (I reported about quite recently).
    Currently I try to get the latest firmware-release ( > 1.6 ) from Microtek,
    because the problems mentioned seem to be solved with V1.6 (and higher)
    I will report about results, as soon as I get the firmware from Microtek.
