On Kenwood transceivers there is a menu option to either have the Multi
knob leave the least significant digits alone or round them off, it's
menu item #5 on a TS-480.

Oh yes, I remember the M.CH. knob. There must have been some function on
that knob
that I actually used. I know because I got a number of "half QSOs" on my
TS-570 by
turning that knob by mistake. Mine was configured to 10 kHz jumps, so
getting back
wasn't easy. On a few occasions, I had been recently spotted on the
cluster, so I
could find the frequency there.
