It's normal.  It has to do with the number of bits in the DAC or 
something.  To fix it, change the width of the setting that is off a bit 
and readjust the BFO.  For example if your 1.5 KHz filter is 10 Hz 
higher than the others, make it 1.52 KHz and move the BFO up one click. 
  When it recalibrates it should come out spot on.
