[TenTec] Omni VI+ Freq "Jump"

I seem to recall reading about htis here some time ago...Now I am smitten
with it.

Just got my Omni VI+ from Ten-Tec service (it had a PA problem).   I asked
also that they do a 
complete alignment on RX, which they did.  Rig worked like a charm for
about 30 days.

Now I notice:

When I am in CW mode (noticed on 10, 15, and 20 meter bands), the rig
apparently jumps up in freq 
about 1KHz.  The indicated frequency stays the same, but received signals
just "pop" up,
and I need to retune down to retune them into the bandpass.  If I have
don't have a 250 or 500
Hz filter in line, I can hear the received signal suddenly down the band 1
kHz.

I haven't listened on another rig to hear if the transmitted freq is
affected.

Seems I recall reading here about a trimmer cap on a PLL circuit related to
this
symptom.

Any clues?

73 and thanks.
