Well just mucked around on the bands for a bit (about 40 minutes or so)
with the hardware mods in place and switched it back to SPI1 and I
wasn't able to get anything to behave strangely...
However in trying to recall the change from memory I did find that
pressing 8 while in VCO MD changes what appears to be a tolerance
settingg? The possible choices were MFG and NOR. I ended up leaving it
back at NOR... Wonder how many of those little tricks are hidden
about...
