While bench testing the phase jumps, I noticed that once in awhile the 
FM Coil voltage would jump up in what appeared to be a stable, locked 
L302.  When this occurred, the synth briefly jumped out of lock, 
reacquired lock, and attempted to maintain stable state.   This happened 
3 times over a five minute interval.  
This out of lock condition was so brief it wouldn't be seen in monitor 
data.   If we're saving alerts, we should see evidence of this 
(mis)behaviour in the alert archive (or on the operator screen, if you 
dont blink).
