But what frequency does the K2 transmit on, when set that way?

I set my K1 frequency calibration on a separate receiver such that
the display reads the transmit frequency, so I know I am always in-band.

Whether the received freq is then off by the sidetone offset is not
as important to me. K1 is CW only so I don't have to worry about SSB
nets -- and even then, I cut my teeth on tube rigs that I had to readjust
every few minutes. It was just a part of ham radio and not a huge hassle.
