I have a LOT of hysteresis and I am jumper ed. That should NOT happen
and really makes the frequency change basically useless!
I still get a time of 2 sec to 67 sec with most about 15 sec before
the change is noticed on my radio and everything is correct. It has to
be the program at this point. It just does not handle the 870
correctly. it has not hindered my operation in SS too much. It is more
a pain than trouble in use at this point. The frequency hysteresis is
MUCH more serious. That means I can't use a very NICE feature that
keeps me from reaching for the radio and getting a sore back. 
I am willing to BET that the hysteresis and the slow response are
related.
