Thanks Mike, Alan, Fred, Gary, etal. What a great group!

At Mike's suggestion, I went back and set P3 in FIXED MODE and the 
"noise" when dialing VFO-A went away! Yeah!

And Fred, you said, "In tracking mode, my display 'jumps'...wouldn't 
call is 'noise on the trace.' "
Fred, I have to agree with you. The band of noise as I called it when in 
FIXED MODE is small, and I don't notice it; what I am seeing in TRACKING 
MODE is a similar pattern like that in fixed mode but it does 'jumps' 
and is enlarged some - so it is not really noise. It is a bit annoying 
but I can live with it. I think I'm partial now to the fixed mode 
anyway, more natural as some of you have said.

I tried several other cables I had as one of you suggested, no 
difference, so cable ok. I also tried SP2 instead of SP1 as Gary 
(Elecraft) suggested. Didn't see any change there.

I think I'm good to go on this one. Thanks again guys,

Phil, W0XI, Lawrence, KS
