Yes... and no (at least at this particular instant...
The [LOCK] works as expected, BUT there is a TINY (but finite) point during the
transition from [REV] back to [LOCK] during which, if the VFO A knob is still
spinning when you release [LOCK], the VFO A knob might allow the "locked' VFO A
frequency 'jump' a bit (probably no more than 100 Hz) as a result of
the spinning
knob.
Wayne IS aware of this and it IS on his list of items to address. May not be
at a level '1', but it is relatively high in priority.
It's not quite perfect yet, but it WILL be fixed.
