Ben,

I've just tested this out and am not observing the same problem.
Setting the number of steps to 220 gives me step sizes of 100 kHz like
expected.

What version of wxPython do you have installed? I tested this on
Ubuntu 12.04 with python-wxgtk2.8 (and libwxgtk2.8-0) using version
2.8.12.1. I've seen changes like this effect our QTGUI applications,
specifically in setting the frequency axis to either half or double
the specified sample rate.
