[Elecraft] TX/RX Discrepancy

Hi All, just a brief update before I go to bed !  I bit the bullet and 
have done a factory reset followed by a Cal PLL on 40m only.  I have not 
entered any other new values, but I would not expect them to alter the 
relative tx/rx frequencies anyway.  The result is a +400 Hz Tx offset on 
LSB and a
+1kHz Tx offset on USB!!  Nominal frequency 7050 kHz.

  I'll go through a complete setting up routine tomorrow and let you know 
the outcome.

Thanks for listening
