Very odd, the thing resolved _on it's own_. (!) I'm going to clean the 
switches per Gordon's suggestion just for grins to prevent it from reoccurring.

Tnx to all!

======================

Hi Lin. I had a similar thing going on last year with my IT-28 and I did 
quite a bit of trouble shooting but if I recall correctly (didn't take 
notes) the symptoms responded to a anti-oxide spray on the range switch. I 
used GC Nu-trol, but there are quite a number of similar products that do a 
fine job on old switches with oxidation on the metal elements.  There could 
indeed be other causes for your symptoms but the switch treatment worked 
for me. Keep us posted. 73
