Narrative:
Was cleared from FL330 to FL310 by ZJX. During descent, I changed frequencys on radio that I was using (inadvertently). When I discovered this, it took about 5 mins to locate a frequency and get back to proper center frequency. ZJX was unhappy. I apologized. No further problem to my knowledge.
