This article explains it a little. It’s basically the amount of deviation when it switches to PPVS.
Based on your description, I think you have a bad right antenna. The single antenna mode explains why this works, but it has to drive a bit to get its heading if the right antenna is broken or obstructed. Have a spare you can swap in?
