Hi Rick.
                 Thank you for your reply.  I guess I should have 
mentioned that!  I have done all of that, that is I have already 
equalised the readout frequencies on both displays (main & Sub).  I have 
also incremented either one -or-the other displays (main & Sub) by + or 
- a least significant digit on both displays in fine mode.  The 
whoosh-whoosh is at its slowest when both deaout displays (main & sub) 
are numerically identical!
Apologies for not stating that in my original posting, but, I did not 
wish to be seen as being too wordy!
Yes already tried all of that and as I said when I cal the TCXO 
carefully after about a one hour warm-up (stabilisation period, the 
whoosh-whoosh is at its slowest and gradually drifts out to being faster 
until after a period of about 4 to 6 weeks it becomes annoying. It goes 
from one in approx 10 seconds to about 0.5 second period; believe me it 
is Damn annoying!

Hence the reason for this posting.  I have been a Ham for over 50 years 
and have built my own gear (both valve & solid state.  Currently 
finishing the (slow) assembly of a PicaStar rig which I started about 3 
years back.

Thanks Rick and any others out there in K3 land I will appreciate your 
comments!

Sincerely,

Eric,

VK3AX.
