[Elecraft] Shift control quirk?

[Bob Naumann]

Joe,

No - this is on CW with dual PB *NOT* active. I think it behaves the same
way on SSB too.

It acts as if the knob is slipping, but it's not. Sometimes I can turn,
turn, turn and nothing happens - VFO B display shows VFO B frequency, and
then I can pause, turn it again, and the VFO B display shows the FC digits
and the bandwidth changes. Very strange. Sometimes, it may start adjusting
properly, and then I can turn, turn, turn, and nothing happens.

Typically, I don't mess with this control so it has not been a bother, but
since I have gotten my 43' vertical working on 160 with AD5X's matching
system (recent 2-part article in QST) I've been listening more intently and
have been noticing this quirk more.

P.S. Logged TX4T and JA7NI this morning for two new countries on top band
for me. Yes, I'm a top-band novice, although I have things like 3Y5X
confirmed on 160 - go figure.

Hi Bob,

The shift control doesn't do anything when the DUAL PB filter is on.   
(DUAL PB is available in CW, AFSK-A, and FSK-D modes.) If it's  
happening when DUAL PB is not on, then I don't think it's normal.
