[1000mp] Fw: Shuttle-jog position?

Fri, 21 Nov 2003 00:46:48 +0000

I had a similar problem with my standard MP a couple of years ago. It 
seemed to
just be a speck of dust or something causing it. I cleared it by 
simply  rocking the shuttle jog
knob back and forth rapidly for a few seconds.
Hasn't happened before. It might not have been dust, but as I say, it 
hasn't happened again.
Unfortunately, with two different radios doing the same thing is rather 
strange.
Good luck.
