Dave,
Also check the Mad Message, it is the menu item under plugin control that is under Mach MAD.....
the first page on that, also has modbus cfgs. that range 0-128 check them.
the range 0-128 is only for the Modbus local vars on both TCP and Serial, it is the only place that
range restriction exist.
If that doesnt fix it, then pehaps uninstall and reinstall MAD, (and mabey Mach3).
