[1000mp] VFO problem

[Mike Schatzberg]

If you have a desk mic with Up and Down switches, unplug your microphone and see if the problem remains. 

Exercise the VFO jog ring in both directions and see if the problem remains.

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.
