I'm not going to make any presumptions, but I noted many of the same 
issues that Ken saw.  Some very LARGE VFO swings in a matter of one or 
two minutes - and only hitting multipliers on the other radio. Having 
done a lot of S&P work, I have difficulty making a 30 KHz swing in two 
minutes on CW - and hitting multipliers as the only QSOs.
