change PWM frequency

The code below sets up a simple 2-edged PWM signal. In my application, I need to change the frequency occasionally, which is what I THINK I am doing in the main loop, but the only change is the duty cycle. That is, the frequency always remains to what it was set at the beginning (1kHz), and only the "on" duty cycle is commensurate with the 2kHz I'm switching it to.

Any ideas, anything I'm obviously forgetting here?
