[Elecraft] K-3: RTTY Dual Passband Question

[RLVZ at aol.com]

Question: If you don't normally use Dual Passband while in RTTY Mode,  then 
is it true that you need to be careful where the "SHIFT"  control is set?  
I am new to RTTY and in last weekends NA-RTTY Test I  was NOT using Dual 
Passband, and I was often off-frequency when  changing bands as my SHIFT 
setting was often different for each  band.  I believe if I had been using "Dual 
Passband" that I would  have been on frequency as that disables the SHIFT 
control.  Question:  if your not using DUAL PASSBAND then what is the proper 
setting for SHIFT?   Perhaps centering the SHIFT in the middle of the K-3's on 
screen display?
Or is it true that if NET is On in MMTTY then it will put the  transmitter 
on the receiver frequency even if SHIFT is not centered?
 
Thanks for your thoughts!

Normally I dont need the DPB. But when in RUN-CQ mode with QRM in the  last 
NAQP I was very happy to have it.
