I agree that the 50Hz jumps do feel like much bigger schwacks in the
lower bandwidths but I don't feel them un-reasonably so...  How narrow
do you wish things to get?  25Hz?  10Hz? 1Hz?  Personally I don't know
what the right value is but I do think that 1Hz increments would be too
"smooth".  To the point of SLOW.
