[Elecraft] P3 question

[Fred Jensen]

It's set to Full-Span, and every time I tune off the edge, I get the 
next full span, up or down.  When this anomaly occurs, it is usually [as 
in almost always] a 5KHz shift.  If the left edge was at 1.040, it will 
become 14.045 and the right edge will become 14.065  I've never seen it 
actually do it, I just notice that it has occurred.  It's no big deal, 
I'm just curious what is going on.
