Dan and all,

There is a more certain method of centering the RIT than 'by ear'.  Watch
the display while turning the RIT on and off, when the two frequencies
agree, it is centered.
You don't need to repeatedly turn RIT on and off to do that either - just
look at the frequency with RIT off and turn RIT on and adjust for the same
frequency on the display.

After doing that, one may want to loosen the knob and turn it a bit if the
real center point is not lined up with the panel marking.

73,
Don W3FPR
