[1000mp] Fw: Shuttle-jog position?

[Watt Gee]

Really.  I wonder if this a common problem with the Field.  Never had it happen on my MP or ;My Mark V either.  HOpe some one can help you out with this.  Watt

HRO sent me a second rig and it has the same problem. Both rigs were new out of the box. The problem occurs when the ring switch is rotated CCW and the switch does not return back to it's centered position. The frequency keeps shifting down. The problem is intermittent and is most noticeable when operating CW, AM or RTTY. The cause appears to be the improper position of the encoder switch. With the jog ring sitting in the centered position the switch is off center to the right and starts tuning down in frequency. 

If anyone has heard of this problem before and has any suggestions for a solution I'd appreciate an email.
