Patrick,

Mine did that.  http://www.burghardt-amateur.com/

Found a bad cap on the back for the front panel.

You can move it slightly clockwise or counterclockwise to tune frequency down and up. If this ring hangs or there is a problem with the electronic behind, it might occur that the TRX endlessly tunes down or up.

Once there, I can turn the VFO to tune upwards but as soon as I stop, it returns back again.  I can change bands and it will immediately start its descent to 100kHz regardless of band.  Transmitting will temporarily halt this progression but as soon as it’s back to RX, down it goes again.
