1 Hz setting?

Perhaps my XG3 is defective.

When running from the PC control program, I need to enter about a 10 Hz change before the output frequency changes.  Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?  The device is adverstised to have 1 Hz steps.

The calibration factor also needs to be changed by more the 1 step to get the frequency to change.  

Also, the levels seem to be accurate at 160m but start to fall off in accuracy as I go up to the higher bands.  Are they supposed to be into a 50 Ohm load?  Are they the level for the fundamental or total power output?

Thanks,
