I've noticed funky tuning on the subreceiver also (in AM mode).  But 
haven't used it enough to realize what's happening.  What I noticed -- and 
reported to ditsnbits at tentec.com a long time ago -- was a "pop" in the 
audio about every 2.5 Khz in AM.   I don't have time to go play with it right 
now, but I suspect you're correct in your assessment -- and the "pop" I 
was hearing was actually the tuning step changing by 2.5Khz.

It's been like this since day one ..
