But if you're trying to sustain a high run rate on CW, it is awfully easy
to get the receive VFO so far off center in one direction that you miss the
caller on the other side of zero beat (I use 400 Hz filters while
running). That's why I rely on TR's RIT Clear function. An A=B command in
TR that matched A VFO's frequency to B's would work fine too, if it
existed, and then I'd certainly agree with you.
