Mine sort of, kind of, does the same or similar thing although I've 
never noticed a correlation with operation on 10.  I normally run 
fixed-track with a 20 KHz span starting at the bottom of each band 
[don't operate 17 or 24 much].  Sometimes, it seems more frequent if 
I've been jumping around from one band to the next a lot, instead of 
7.020 on the left, I'll see 7.025 or 14.025.  Almost always [maybe 
always] 5 KHz.  I too cannot pinpoint exactly what causes it.  Happens 
with 50 KHz spans too.
