[ICOM] 706 MK II off frequency

[Buck - N4PGW]

Someone pointed out earlier that it is within the stability of the rig
either way.  It is no big deal except when you are talking to someone on a
regular basis and suddenly his voice is at a higher pitch.  Everything is
still very workable. Only rarely do I have to use the RIT to pick someone
out, and usually they don't have as modern rigs.  

Thanks for all the comments.  I feel relieved that nothing changed and the
rig is operating normally.
