hello shane,

this is really strange. i don't have an idea actually.
some time ago two of my older a110 needed some re-calibration,
because they lost the 1/v oct tracking, but your
a110's are new, so they shouldn't have this problem.
it's also strange that the tuning is screwed up in the middle
of the range, this is very unusual.

maybe someone else can help? dieter?

best wishes
