[Elecraft] Transverter offset

[ww2r2 at g4fre.com]

If by offest you mean the transverter offset (config: XVxOF) it applies to
both VFOs.

This brings up another interesting K3 Xverter observation from the VHF
contest a few weeks ago

config: XVx RF allows only 3 digits of MHz, quite reasonably, because thats
all the display can show. However it is these 3 digits of MHz that the RS232
will report.

Example on 1296 with Xv4 RF set to 296 rs232 reports 296.100, which is not
recognised by the logging program as its not a ham band.

I have already asked elecraft for a feature request to allow 5 digits of MHz
to be entered in Config:XVx RF and be reported by rs232 but (as now) only
show 3 digits of MHz on the display

Currently the work around (on 1296) is to tell the logging program and the
F1EHN tracking software (for auto doppler correction)  i am using a xverter
with a 1 GHz local oscillator  so 296 appears as 1296 again

I need to put in an offset for 1296EME into the transmitted signal.
My question is, I am using VFO B in a split frequency, ie transmitting on B
and receiving on A.
Can I put the offset into VFO B or does the transverter offset only apply to
VFO A. I feel the manual is not
clear on this point.
