Can I improve this ERG control or should I temper my expectations?

Check out this, so you really understand what ERG is meant to do (and not to do):

My most important tip for all new ERG users,

  • FOCUS ON CADENCE, IGNORE POWER.
    • Cadence is King! Meaning, set and hold your desired cadence for any given effort. Keep it as steady as is practical.
    • Do NOT watch power or attempt to “fix” a high or low power value. You will only make things worse.
    • It is ok to adjust cadence up or down, but keep in mind that every change you add makes the entire system work to “solve the power problem” by adjusting the trainer in response to cadence changes. So, make your changes as needed, but be stable every other moment when you can.

Also, what platform are you using for TR? The latest Win/Mac app has an improved PowerMatch for ERG. It will come to the Apple/Android mobile whenever that update is release. The new W/M version is supposed to be much improved.
