you probably pushed one of the shift keys and hadn't put this in your cfg
file:
SHIFT KEY ENABLE = FALSE
one shift key takes you up and the other down, but i don't recall which does
which. i always disable this "feature". it's an imitation of a much more
robust kenwood (and maybe other jap rigs). on kenwoods you can set tr to
vary the rit in cq mode and your actual frequency in s&p mode just using the
shift keys. i know a guy who loves it (on a kenwood). on an omni you just
get a 200 hz shift, so it really a pain in the butt imho.

i think there are still a few gremlins to be worked out, especially if you
have the band scope on. i ran with it off all weekend, and had only one
glitch. the subreceiver quit. no matter of button sequences restored it
until i did a power cycle, then all was fine again.
