Sometimes winning the "prize" is not all that desirable.  Well, that's the only  thing I can think of unique to controller A other than its pressure transducer. I might expect a pressure transducer case leak - but, with their outputs the same at different altitudes, that sort of rules that out. 
 
 The same approx. output indicates to me that the pressure transducers appear to be doing identical functions with changing altitude/ambient pressure.  So I would normally say the problem has to be down stream of the pressure transducer output, but I'm sure Tracy has chased that rabbit.  It is a puzzle
 
 If the pressure transducer were causing the problem (and nothing else), its hard to work up a scenario that fits the symptoms.  If there output varied with altitude then clearly it would indicate a bad transducer - but, their output tracks with each other.  If their outputs are nearly the same and controller B runs find with that output from its transducer then why not A.  Again, it leads me to suspect something down stream of the transducer. 
 
But, hopefully a new transducer will cure the problem - be interesting to find out what the problem was.
