It's kinda hard to find this info, but it doesn't pass a common sense test, and I found a tangentially related source to back it up. Please run it by SME's:

It's currently possible to select a declination on the KM-2 of +360.0° to -360.0°. I think this should be +180.0° to -180.0°. If it's desired to select a declination of more than 180 degrees in either direction, the selection is identical to the opposite direction minus 180 degrees.

i.e. to select +270.0 is the same setting as -90.0.

Here is the source for the KM-8 device used in the Mi-8 (and I think L-39). It states a limit of +/-180°

Этот осредненный сигнал магнитного курса поступает для отсчета на указатели УГР-4УК. В режиме МК на коррекционном механизме К.М-8 можно произвести ввод поправки на угол магнитно­го склонения магнитного поля Земли в пределах +180°.

This averaged magnetic heading signal is fed to the UGR-4UK indicators for counting. In the MK mode, on the K.M-8 correction mechanism, you can enter a correction for the angle of the magnetic declination of the Earth's magnetic field within + 180 °.  (Google Translate)

Here's a track where I spin the declination knob of the KM-2 for like 10 minutes.

Thanks,
