KX3 firmware 1.06 freg drift

[va3bxg]

 I downloaded the latest and greatest firmware and noticed something

On the 40m band, while monitoring one of the 'original 13 colonies special event station'. The unit freq was drifting (upwards) big time. Somethings by .2 units within about 1.5 seconds. And even when I returned to the frequency it would drift again.

While I did not have a lot of time to further test. The issue was not apparent on the 20m band.

I have had this issue previously, but not to this level.

Also a small observation. Now when the unit is shut down, on the VFO B, a series of ***** appear. This has not been observered before

What mic are you using?  If you are using something with a stereo plug, you  
might be triggering the UP button input.

The asterisks are new. I don't remember which version (after 0.99 up
through 1.06) had that change.

Sharp eyes, guys. I added this in rev 1.06 for my use in verifying  
that the power-down sequence worked correctly. No functional impact.
