Bill & Bruce,

I found this writeup on grabby brakes: Better Braking Report by HENSLEY MFG. INC.
http://www.brake-controller.com/news...ng_report.html

Quote:
On most brake controllers, the driver adjusts this initial power output with the GAIN control. That way, the power can be reduced in city driving to keep the trailer from “grabbing” the brakes, resulting in the “bobble head” effect on the tow-vehicle occupants. The safety issue here is that the driver can fail to turn the gain back up for high-speed driving, which can result in an accident in a panic stop situation.
